Ian Wright

Clive Ian Wright passed away August 23, 2021, at age 70, after defying stage five kidney failure for over a year.

Ian was on April 16, 1951, to born to Rayo and Betty Primrose Wright in Cardston, Alberta. His family included two sisters, Teresa and Keri, and a brother, Cameron.

Ian spent the first 18 years of his life in the wilds of Alberta with his dog and his horse. After completing high school, he served in the Perth, Australia mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

He met the love of his life, Marie Zollinger, in Idaho. Ian and Marie were sealed for all time and eternity in the Ogden Utah Temple. Shortly after their first child was born, they settled in Roberts, Idaho. There they raised their six children, Lonnie, Shannon, Sharlie, Shasta, Melissa and Timothy. Ian was very dedicated to family. He taught them the gospel of Jesus Christ, the importance of taking care of family, and to serve in the community. He was an example to all.

Ian enjoyed fishing, shooting guns, reading, music, growing flowers, playing card games, learning about and watching airplanes, handing out candy to his 24 grandkids, and sitting on the porch to enjoy the view. He hated peas and mushrooms.

Special thanks to Hospice of Eastern Idaho and their great care. They are truly caring and compassionate. Lorri, here's your shout-out!
