Mr. Wright was born in Carlyss, Louisiana on June 29, 1917 to William and Mable Huthman Wright. His faith became sight on March 17, 2015 when he entered the eternal home he has spent so many years preaching about.
The greatest passion and love in his life was preaching the Word of God. He spent over 60 years as a pastor of many churches all over the Southwest Louisiana area. His most recent pastorate was the Charity Tabernacle in Dry Creek where he was very active until the age of 95. He helped to build several churches in the area and touched many lives through his work for the Lord. When he wasn’t preaching he enjoyed farming and spending time with his family.
Mr. Wright is preceded in death by his wife: Bobbie Louise Vincent; Two Children: Shirley Jean and Clavin Wright; Siblings: Walter Wright, Fannie Lewing, Albert Wright, Letha Ravia, Fred Wright, and Nellie Areno; and Two Grandchildren: Darrell Jean, and Nancy Hoffpauir.
