Stanley Ray Wright

Stanley Ray Wright, our Marine warrior, fought his last fight Monday, Oct. 17, 2016.

He was a Vietnam veteran having served in the U. S. Marine Corps. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Ooh Rah!

Stanley lived his whole life in the North Georgia area. He loved camping, hiking and hunting, but most of all, his Auburn TigersWar Eagle! He was a man of few words, but had a deep heart. He spoke with honesty and wisdom, and was known to be a hard worker who cared deeply about his family and friends.

He is preceded in death by his father and mother, Homer E. and Irene C. Wright.
