Bob C. Wright
1944 - 2019
Early Life: Bob was born June 18, 1944, with his twin sister, Betty, in Heber City, Utah, to Warren R. and Enid May Webster Wright. Bob and Betty were a fun surprise for his parents and siblings, as none of them had expected twins! He had fond childhood memories of his family and time spent hunting, fishing, and holidays. He graduated from Orem High School.
Life’s Work | Service | Interests: Bob was also educated at Ricks College and Brigham Young University, with a Bachelor of Science. He worked with Muir-Roberts Company for 37 years, most of it as an area representative. In his retirement, he worked for Christensen Oil Company as a landscaper. Bob was more than a landscaper; he was a true artist. In 1965, he joined the United States Army Reserve and was called into active duty in December of 1966, training in Fort Lewis, Washington. At the end of four months, he was given an honorable discharge from the Army Reserve due to ear and hearing problems sustained in childhood. In 1967, he married Marianne Prince, his high school and college sweetheart. Together they had four wonderful children: Michelle, Chad, Nathan and Stephanie, whom he loves dearly. Bob also found true joy being with his grandchildren and supporting them any way he could. He loved attending their football games, rodeo queen contests, taking them fishing, hunting and camping. The grandkids always knew they could count on Grandpa when they needed a friend or a handful of gummy bears. He was truly a devoted husband, father and grandfather, all who knew him knew of his love for his family. A devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Bob served in many church callings including in the Young Men organizations and bishoprics. He valued the time he was able to spend this year serving the Lord in the St. George Utah Temple with his wife. He was a true disciple of Christ, who showed his love for others in all his deeds and actions. Bob C. Wright, a loving husband, devoted father, caring grandfather, and a friend to all, died November 23, 2019, due to injuries sustained in a fall while working in his yard, in Provo, Utah. Bob was surrounded by his loving wife, three devoted children, and grandson. He was 75.
