Mr. Kenneth Wayne Wright, known as "Uncle Kenny" by family, age 80, of Hanover, Indiana, entered this life on February 15, 1943 in Fellows, California. He was the loving son of J.Y and Louise Gorham Wright. He graduated from Taft High School in 1962, and resided in Taft for most of his life. He enjoyed landscaping all over Taft, riding from job to job on his red scooter. He always looked forward to baseball games at Franklin Field and trips to Las Vegas with his sisters. The family would like to thank all of those who were kind to this wonderful man, especially those associated with Taft College. Even in his final days, after years of battling dementia, he would recall how much he enjoyed working there for over 40 years. He attended all the athletic events that he was able to. Every coworker, student, and athlete who touched this man's life, thank you. He was so proud and truly happy being a part of Taft College. Kenneth died on Monday, February 20, 2023, at 11:55 a.m. at his home in Hanover, Indiana.
