Mark is survived by the love of his life, Lisa Wright "Lee Lee" and his beloved sons Mark William Wright, Jr. and Evan Hunter Wright, of whom he was extremely proud; mother-in-law, Estelle Hall; siblings, Kathy Wright Jones, Robert Hayman Wright, III, Margaret Wright, Paula Wright Koss (Michael); brother-in-law, Howard Hall; many nieces and nephews; an aunt; and cousins. He is preceded in death by his father, Robert Hayman Wright, Jr.; mother, Eleanor Mae Wright; and brother, Robert Hunter Jones.
A 1983 graduate of Highland Springs High School, Mark went on to pursue a degree from Richmond Technical Center, later securing multiple certifications in the refrigeration and HVAC field. He was a committed Technical Sales Support employee of Kysor/ Warren for 25 years.
Mark never met a stranger and relished the opportunity to strike up a conversation with new friends. He was a master of many skills and the ultimate fixer and caretaker. Mark embraced his passions and lived his life to the fullest, from dirt race car driving, relic hunting, and fishing to tinkering with his many tools and tractors. An avid antique collector, he savored time spent with Lisa at his side hunting for vintage advertising signs, tobacco tins, pottery crocks and ball mason jars.
In his final chapter, Mark made his and Lisa’s dream a reality…finding and renovating their beautiful river home on the Northern Neck. The place where he will now rest in peace forever. A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Mark’s honor to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Attn: Membership Department 6 Herndon Avenue, Annapolis, MD 21403.
