Wright, Robert L. “Bob”
May 13, 1943 – January 23, 2022
Robert Lincoln (“Bob”) Wright, 78, of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, passed away on Sunday, January 23, 2022 in Highlands Ranch. Bob was born May 13, 1943 to Morris LeGrande and Dorothy Elva (Boyden) Wright in Glendive, Montana. In February 1967, Bob married Adrienne Andrews, whom over their 25-year marriage engendered their love of travel, of various (mostly) outdoor leisure activities (i.e. skiing and tennis [B & A], golf[B], camping[A]), and their love for raising two obstreperous boys: Alex and Craig. Bob married Susan Norwood in 1994, and, until her passing in February 2010, similarly indulged their joint travel passions, often with Susan’s youngest daughter, Lindsay, in tow. Their loving household was characterized by warm family gatherings, often including Lisa and Deana, Susan’s eldest two daughters, their respective husbands, and eventually a gaggle of grandchildren. In late 2010, Bob met Carol Jantz and the two lived, cared for one another, and traveled inseparably until his untimely pandemic influenced death, of which he was preceded by his father, Morris; mother, Dorothy; wife, Susan and niece Debbie Brown. In March 1967, Bob enlisted in the Army Reserves, trained at Fort Bragg, NC and at Fort Belvoir, VA, and primarily served the Rocky Mountain Arsenal until his honorable discharge in 1973. Bob worked the first half of a 47-year distinguished career as an interior designer; the second in commercial furnishings retail and installation. Bob is survived by his sister, Jan Sexton; brother Carl (Cyndia) Wright; domestic partner, Carol Jantz; sons Alex Wright and Craig (Abby) Wright; stepdaughters Lisa (Dennis) Lopez, Deana (David) Bartholomew and Lindsay (JD) Flitner; many nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. A memorial service will be held on Monday, February 7, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Andrew United Methodist Church, 9203 S. University Blvd, Highlands Ranch, CO 80126. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the American Cancer Society.
