Louis Edward Wright, III., was born August 4, 1988 in Mobile, Alabama to Louis Edward Wright, Jr., and Kimberley Duncan Wright. He accepted Christ on October 9, 1994 and was baptized at Lily Baptist Church.

He was a faithful member of the Lily and was an active participant in the youth department. His love for Christ grew over the years and he had a strong relationship with Christ. He graduated from Murphy High School in 2006, where he played football. His physical prowess and academic achievement earned him a football scholarship at Alabama State University in Montgomery where he was a leading player on the football team. He later played briefly at Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, AL.

As Louis grew into a strong young man, he developed a passion for landscaping which he exemplified working for Bishop State College in his home town of Mobile. Louis loved his family and friends beyond belief. He had an infectious smile that could bring joy to anyone around him. Louis was the true definition of a selfless person. He was a thoughtful and caring father, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, godson/brother, and friend. Most of all, his love for his son, Landen, was undeniable. Landen’s love for his dad was just as palpable and obvious when Landen’s eyes lit up every time he saw Louis. Landen wanted to be everywhere his daddy was, or at least talk to him as much as possible. We are all blessed to have Landen as a reminder of Louis’ love for us.

Louis left this earth on June 2, 2018 at the young age of 29. He will truly be missed by many.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Jefferson James Duncan, Sr., and his grandmother, Annie Mae Wright.
