Larry Walton Wright, a cherished resident of Louisville,, departed from this world on, August 23, 2024, at the age of 75 with his family by his side. 

Born on September 7, 1948, in Louisville, he was the son of the late Maxey and Norma (Huffines) Wright. He is also reunited in spirit with his beloved dog, Harley, who accompanied him in life’s joyous moments.

Larry’s legacy endures through his devoted wife of 54 years, Linda Sharon Wright, and their children: Christi (Ben) Jackson and Brad (Heather) Wright. He was a proud grandfather to Brady Jackson, Lucas Wright, Catherine Wright, and Riley Jackson. Additionally, his memory will live on in the hearts of his sisters, Susie (Jimmy) Morehead and Lisa (Terry) Chandler.
