Funeral for Keegan Nicholas Wright, 35, of Lawton, will be at 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, 2014, at First Baptist Church, 5th and B Ave. Keegan passed away Friday, Aug. 29, 2014.
Burial will be in Sunset Memorial Gardens under direction of Whinery-Huddleston Funeral Service.
Keegan worked in the family business, Nick's Pawn & Jewelry, where he started when he was just 14. He was a pawnbroker at heart and loved the business, as it gave him the chance to meet and talk with new people each day. Keegan never met a stranger, and many of his customers thought of him not as a businessman, but as a friend they could count on to lend a hand when they encountered rough patches in life. His rapport with customers made him a phenomenal salesman; it was sometimes joked that Keegan could "sell ice to an Eskimo." Aside from the pawn business, another of Keegan's passions was fishing. His favorite spots included lakes LETRA, Texoma, and Arbuckle. When fishing, Keegan wore his lucky gold Bass pendant with 7 stones; after catching a Bass he would kiss the fish and the pendant before releasing the fish back into the water. Though he enjoyed grabbing his fishing gear and getting out on the water, Keegan liked to be fresh and clean. Everyone knew that he wore his clothes impeccably pressed and starched and had his hair fixed perfectly in place, and he always smelled like Giorgio Armani cologne. In his younger years, he was particularly skillful at making up stories to get himself out of trouble. While there were few who were more mischievous, Keegan was never hesitant to tell his family and friends how much they meant to him. He said "I love you" more often than most people. It was how he ended every phone conversation with family members. He was known for giving big, genuine hugs, and he liked to smile, but never more than when his son, Kipton, began to talk and started calling him "Daddy."
Keegan is survived by his wife of the home, Nikki; one son, Kipton Nicholas Wright; father, Nick Wright, of Lawton; mother, Cheryl Everett Bills, of Duncan; grandmothers: Iris "Nannaw" Wright and Ruth Cheney; five sisters, Kensey Phillips, Stillwater; Kalie Brooks, Duncan; and Maggie Wright Rodriguez, Nicole Wright and Abbie Wright, all of Lawton; three nieces: Paislee Brooks, Rylan Rodriguez and Aubree Brooks; three nephews: Hunter Phillips, Gabriel Rodriquez and Jesse Phillips; two aunts: Karen Dean and Wendy Tatroult; uncle, Tony Wright, and eight cousins.
Keegan was preceded in death by grandparents: Roy and Wilma Everett, J.T. "Sleepy" Wright, and "Pawpaw" Ed Cheney; and one uncle, Danny Everett.
Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014, at the funeral home.
