Bobby Lee Wright, (1956 - 2017) - ForeverMissed.com Online Memorials

Let the memory of Bobby be with us forever

61 years old
Born on August 19, 1956 in Roanoke, Virginia, United States
Passed away on December 3, 2017 in Roanoke, Virginia, United States

Bobby Lee Wright Forever 61

Passed away at his home surrounded by his loved ones. He leaves behind a lot of people who will miss him. His loving mother. His wife of over 40 years. His 4 children, as well as some who claimed him as a father of their own. 5 siblings on earth. A set of in-law parents who loved him, and treated him as their son. 10 grandchildren who he loved to spoil. As well as countless other relatives. He was reunited in heaven with so many of his siblings. His father, 3 brothers, and 2 sisters. He took a lot of hearts with him when he left. A hardworking man who would help anyone in need. He spent most of his life as a Brick Mason who took pride in his work, and has work all over Roanoke, and surrounding areas. Not only did he build foundations, but he became the foundation to our family. We are lost without him. We, as a family are completely devastated. A one of a kind irreplaceable man. He got along with everyone, even if he didn't agree with their choices, he never judged, and offered support. Most of his life was spent committed to supporting his wife, and kids.. as well as kids who weren't his own but he treated them as if they were. There are not enough words that can explain of just how great of man he was, and still is from above. Leave below any memory you have of him, or any words you'd like to say to him. God has a hero up there. He didn't do anything spectacular to earn the title but the determination and strength he had to continue to live. He showed no others his pain

Forever we will LOVE him.

Forever 61. Yesterday was a hard & emotional day on us. Your first Birthday in Heaven. Mandy and I did what you always did before parties/holidays, we helped Kay prepare all of the food. We also surprised Kay and everyone else with the design of the cake... Red and black plaid like you love. It was a day full of so much love for you - wouldn't have it any other way. We know you were there with us, and smiling down on all of us honoring your life. We took lots of family pictures like you always loved to do - & some silly ones of course. :)
We miss you more every day. Love you Bobby/Dad #2

Everything's just right yeah except for one thing
You should be here, standing with your arm around me here
Cutting up, cracking open a cold water
And you know that if I had just one wish it'd
Be that you didn't have to miss this

God I wish somehow you could be here
Oh you should be here

August 14, 2018

Missing you so much... I don't know who ever came up with the saying that time eases the pain... but I don't agree with that. I lost my Dad almost 17 years ago, and it's never gotten less painful. Bobby, you treated me like one of your own, and it was a true blessing to me, especially since my Dad is in Heaven. You became my Dad #2. You were so thoughtful, always thinking of others first, and what you could do to make them happy. I always knew I could count on you to make me laugh. We would laugh til we cried. You loved to joke around and laugh. My Dad was like that, too. You both were wonderful men who worked very hard for their families. Mandy and I had the best Dad's ever. I feel so blessed and thankful that I not only had the chance to know you, & make special memories with you, but also that you were my Father in-law. Not a day goes by we don't talk about you. We will forever keep you alive in our memories. This Sunday is your First Birthday in Heaven, it's going to be really hard on us. I know without a doubt that you will be there with us in spirit. I hope you show us signs. Maybe you will play some jokes/tricks on us to make us laugh! Breaks my heart for Kay. She's so heartbroken. I watched my Mom lose the love of her life, and now I'm watching my Mama #2 go through the same. I try my hardest to be strong for Mandy, because I know how bad it hurts to lose a Father... But sometimes I just can't help but to break down over you, too... Because I also miss you terribly. I know you wouldn't want us to cry, but it's hard... Keep watching over us! <3 I love you BUNCHES.

August 11, 2018

Mandy and I were just sitting at the dinner table talking, and out of nowhere I told her how very thankful I was to have had you in my life... to be able to have such a special bond with you... To be welcomed into the family with open loving arms, & treated like one of your own kids. I will forever be thankful that you are my Father in-law, but more than
that you are my Dad #2. You always put EVERYONE first, and yourself last. You were truly one of a kind. Mandy and I have always said we had the best Daddy's ever made. We just wish God didn't have to take our Dad's, ever, but especially not so soon. What we wouldn't give to be able to pick up the phone & call you, to video chat with you, to come over, or for you to come over and spend time together. I sure do miss your big tight hugs & kisses on my cheek. We always loved our time together. Your Birthday is coming up, and we are full of emotions.. Right about this time we would be Birthday shopping for you, and planning a birthday dinner for you... Instead this year, we will be releasing balloons up to you in Heaven, and reminiscing on all of our memories of you. Laughing, crying, and missing you -- like we do every day. :'( I know you watch over us, and protect us...and that is comforting to me... but I wish you were still here... You took a huge part of us with you when God called you home. I love you Dad #2, always! <3

August 11, 2018

You should be here.... You are truly missed more than ever. No day has been any easier. No week has been the same. I miss the daily and nightly chats. The visits. Calling you for advice. You calling me to help with something, me doing the same. You were in my life every single day... not a day passed Dad. Around this time, you'd be asking me to cut your hair because your birthday is coming up.. I miss every little thing. Ohhh you should be here....! I love you Dad, so much.

August 11, 2018

August 2, 2018

You may have left this Earth.. but you have never left my mind & heart. You are still in our daily lives.. we talk about you daily, we cry, we laugh at funny memories, and we survive another day. Tomorrow will be 8 months, and I can't believe it's been that long. Time DOES NOT HEAL. No day is any easier. God needed you up there, and for that we can't be selfish. We can be thankful. Thankful to have had such a great role model in our lives, a true genuine soul. You taught us a lot Dad but never thought, I'd have any days without your wisdom. I know you're always with us, never far. I love all the signs you've sent. Keep staying by our sides, we will always need you near. Our angel. You worked for us here, and now up there. Hero. I love you Dad, sooo much...and as always, I am painfully missing you.

August 1, 2018

Hey baby today has been one of those days where i cant stop the tears im trying to stay busy ,but catch myself stopping in the middle of doing something and tears flowing down my cheeks trying to understand why this happened to you ,to us You were the greatest man alive ,i just dont know how to go on life without you Its So hard being here without you baby ,you were my life! I miss you Bobby Lee WRIGHT I will Always Love You !

August 1, 2018

Well Mr. It's officially August. Normally at this time we are planning parties for you kay and mom..and I'm always stumbling trying to find something to get you.. This year isn't the same. Instead we will be sending balloons up for you and my mom. I never thought this would be how we celebrate for either or you but God has another plan for everyone.. Just still isn't fair! Colt still has the hat you rushed out of your door to give him even tho u weren't feeling well. You wanted to make sure he had it. It is one of our keepsakes! We love you and miss that smiling face of yours every day!

July 31, 2018

Where do we start, there are so many memories to post but I remember one that sticks with me and I have always brought it up when I give speeches. Dad used to take me to work with him allot and one time he took us to the beer plant with him and we crushed beer cans together. He used to tell me remember hard work will get you a long way in life and always remember work for what you want not what you need. When Dad called me when I was in Oakland CA for a meeting he said " where are you trying to run to" I said what do you mean, he said " I seen you are on the other side of the state". Remember now this call was 8am our time here so he caught me off guard as it was a few hours behind so I was sleeping. He always had a funny side and liked to make jokes. I remember talking to Dad the day before he left us, I asked him if he needed me to come up there and he said no he was just fine. Dad always made sure I did not worry about him. I love and miss you each day that goes by.

July 31, 2018

Sure is hard to believe you've been gone for almost 8 months now. In some ways it feels like even longer, yet our wonderful memories that we'll always cherish are fresh in our minds... And the hurt and pain of losing you is fresh for those of us who truly love you. Mandy, Kay & I talk about you every day. You will always be missed, and never forgotten. You took a part of us with you when you left. :( Love you bunches Dad #2 <3

July 31, 2018

There's not a day that doesn't go by without your name being mentioned... I see and hear many pictures and memories of you that mom talks about or shows me... You were and still are a big impact in moms life that she will never forget... You were and still are her hero... She loves and misses u each and every day... There's days where she still crys of happy and sometimes sad tears... Wishing you could still be here... Even though your no longer here on earth with her I know and I tell her each and everyday your always in her heart... In your final days here on earth we all shared laughter and many tears together... Until we meet again forever in our hearts you'll be... Love your niece lucy ❤

July 26, 2018

I miss you each and every day. You weren't just my Father in-law, you were my 2nd Dad. You always treated me as one of your own, and never failed to make me feel loved and cared for by you! I miss our talks, laughing til we cried, being silly together, taking funny pictures, everything about you. You always made me laugh. I miss your sweet smile, and your big tight hugs & kisses on my cheek. You always looked out for/were protective of Mandy & I, and I know you still are from Heaven. You're now our angel from above. I miss you so much, and love you bunches! Sending up big hugs & kisses to Heaven!

July 26, 2018

I will always remember how not one day went by that I didn't have you in my life. How you were the true definition of a Father. You picked me up when I was down, you calmed my fears. You put band-aids on my hurt. You taught me how to ride a bike, you taught me how to drive, you taught me how to do repairs around my own home. Always you were there.. even still I know you are above still with me. Still guiding me. My angel. I love and miss you Dad, sooooooo much!

July 26, 2018

We miss you so much down here.you were truly an amazing man who were the dad to me that u didn't have to be..As kids I'd crack up going to restaurants with you..
Especially our trip to Wendy's when u said "this hamburger is thin as paper u can throw it in the air and it will float! And it taste like paper that's been written on!" When I was pregnant and u wouldn't let me walk down the steps to do my own laundry.. U made sure my bed was always warm by turning on my blanket before I came home. Providing me with a bedroom of my own when u didn't have to. When my car was stuck in the snow u dug it out while I slept.. You didn't have to do those things but u chose to. Always welcomed me with open arms.. Its not the same without you but im okay knowing you are no longer battling the pain and suffering. I love you. Til we meet again..

July 26, 2018
