Christopher R. Wright passed away peacefully at home on April 19th, 2026. His generosity of spirit, service to his clients, insane work ethic, and great sense of humor endeared him to those who knew him. He resided in Las Vegas, but his home to Chris was Paducah, Kentucky. He attended Reidland grade school and Reidland High School and graduated in 1984 from St Mary High School. He received an associate degree from Lassen College in Susanville, California.
