It is with a heavy heart that we have to say goodbye to our father Jeffrey A. Wright. Jeff is predeceased by his wife (Anne), parents (Larry and Jo), brothers (John and Gerald), grandsons (Alvin and Alex). Jeff is survived by his three sons Allan, Campbell, and Stuart, three grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Jeff was born and raised in Vancouver and spent his winters in Palm Desert CA later in life. He started out in the banking industry after graduating from Shawnigan Lake school and in 1963 went into the life insurance game like like his father Larry and our uncle Sandy. Jeffrey had an incredible and successful career in insurance due to his stubbornness and loyalty ensuring his clients (friends) well being was at the forefront. He and mom were fortunate to travel the world and enjoy many ports of call, but always retuned to the North Shore.
You would often find Jeff hitting tennis balls at Hollyburn, a sport he loved to play and like a lot of things in his life was extremely competitive at. Mom always said Your father will be kicked out of the club due to his colourful language on and off the court .
Jeff was able to play and do business up till 2014, when unfortunately dementia got the better of him. Dad was courageous through all of it and fought right till the end. We would like to thank all the staff at Sunrise of Lynn Valley, Delta View and the Delta Hospital for their professionalism, in giving dad dignity when he truly needed it.
Our family would like everyone who knew and loved him to join us to remember and celebrate the Calm, Cool , and Patient Jeffrey A. Wright!!!
Go in peace dad and hopefully you and mom are together once again!!
