Ernest Ray Wright, 68, of Conway, passed from this life on Jan. 11, 2014, surrounded by family and friends.
He was born in Conway, on Sept. 18, 1945, to the late William T and Zelma (Clare) Wright.
Ernest truly loved people and there was seldom a place he traveled that he didn't meet someone he knew. He enjoyed the outdoors and spent much time playing golf, hunting, and fishing; but most of all, he enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
Ernest took pride in his work and was fortunate to have a career he loved and one that fostered many great friendships. He worked for more than 40 years in sales, with the majority of that time being at Polyvend, Inc., based in Conway, and the remainder at Crane National Vendors based in St. Louis, Mo.
He is survived by his children, Byron Wright of Orlando, Fla., and Lance Wright (Monica) of Conway; and his grandson, Landon Wright of Conway.
He is also survived by his brothers and sisters, Betty McCollum of Conway, Euel Wright (Thelma) of Falling Waters, W.Va., Billy J. Wright (Martha) of Conway, Sue Nixon (Harold "H") of Bishop, Texas, Helen Mowrer of Searcy, Bobbie Palmer (Vernon) of Conway, Willene Mooningham (Tom) of Little Rock, Clara Brickler (David) of Maumelle, Linda May (Marion) of Conway, Jerry Wright (Karla) of Atlanta, Ga., Judy Anderson (Bill) of Villa Park, Calif.; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Ernest is preceded in death by his mother and father.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014, at Central Baptist Church, Conway, with Bro. Don Chandler officiating.
Burial will follow at Oak Grove Cemetery, Conway.
Pallbearers will be Brian May, Gary Harlan, Mark Koone, Sam McKaskle, Henry Hargis, Andy McNeil, Jimmy Wilmore, and Tony (Wayne) Dammann.
Visitation will be held at noon Wednesday prior to services at the church.
