Denzil "Denny" Wright

Denzil “Denny” Wade Wright, 64, of Denton, NC went to his eternal Home with Jehovah-God on October 21, 2026.

Born October 4, 1962, in Louisville, KY, he was the son of Ruth Wright, and the late Maynard Wright.

Denny graduated from Eastern Randolph High School and continued his education at Penland School of Crafts and Davidson County Community College. He was hands on and could do anything he set his mind to do. He was incredibly smart and inventive, always very hard-working and determined. He spent the early part of his career as a Tool & Die Engineer, later opening a floor & tile business. After obtaining his contractor’s license, he moved into General Construction & Property Development/Excavation and building docks before retiring.

He loved God and was a man of deep faith and devotion. His relationship with Christ was the foundation of everything he did, with his deepest desire and prayer each day to ‘make God smile’. He would say that being a Christian was the greatest ‘adventure’ of his life and he wanted to show others how wonderful and awesome the Christian adventure could be! He lived that out by the way he treated others and showed them they were loved and valued, Loving God with all of his heart and his neighbor as himself. He was a member of Denton Wesleyan Church where he used his gifts and talents to serve. He was involved in the Piedmont Emmaus Community, and he was an advocate for Life. He loved his family and friends and enjoyed fishing, growing trees and plants, making pottery and other beautiful things out of the natural resources provided by his Creator. He loved music and praising God and learned to play God’s Trumpet- the Shofar, which he got on a trip to Israel with his dear friend, Dr. Karl Coke.

Left to cherish his memory; his wife, Kim Wright; sons- Zachary “Zack” Wright, Benjamin “Ben” Wright, twin grandsons Legend Wright and Elijah Wright; mother, Ruth Wright; sister, Renea Baldwin (Eddie); special mother-in-law, Carolyn “Mama C” Edwards; brother’s-in-law, Kevin Hicks (Pam), Kurt Hicks (Lauren) and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and great nieces, and nephews.

As much as Denny will be missed in this life, we take great comfort and peace in KNOWING GOD’s promises are faithful and true, and they apply to Denny because of the way he lived them out. These Bible verses are:

Representing His belief in God and His WORD:

2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture is God-Breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work”

Passing from this Life to Eternal Life:

Psalm 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants”

2 Timothy 4:6-8 “For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”

Hebrews 11: 16 “They were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.”

Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

Encouragement and Hope for Loved Ones:

1 Thessalonians 4:13, 17 “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him…. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore, encourage one another with these words.”

We are confident that Denny was met with this welcome by our LORD from Matthew 25:21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’

A Celebration of the Life Service will be 11:30AM November 7th, 2026, at Denton Wesleyan Church; 16345 NC-109, Denton, NC 27239; with Pastor Charlie Collins and Dr. Karl Coke officiating.

The family will receive Friends 10:00-11:15AM, prior to the service.

The Family would like to extend special thanks to the very special people who provided for his wonderful care at Preston House Memory Care and VIA Hospice of Charlotte. They treated and cared for Denny like family, and we are forever grateful and thank God for them.

In lieu of flowers, please consider memorials to: Denton Wesleyan Church,16345 NC-109, Denton NC 27239 or Karl Coke Evangelistic Association (KCEA) 8419 Pine Circle, Charlotte, NC 28215

Joyce Joan Meier Hinman, 86, of High Point, passed away Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at Randolph Hospice Home.

Joyce was born at home in Yoder, Wyoming, to the late Carl D. And Mollie Meier. She spent much of her childhood with her mother and later went to live with her father during her senior year of high school. She graduated from Minatare High School in Minatare, Nebraska, in 1958. In August 1958, she married Rodney Hinman, beginning a marriage and family life that would take them across several states as Rodney advanced in his career with Kansas-Nebraska Natural Gas, later known as KN Energy.

Joyce embraced her community and found ways to become involved and contribute. She participated in the local Jaycees in several of the towns where they lived.

Later she worked at Florida State University in Tallahassee, where she served as a house mother for a fraternity, and then to the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, where she served as a house mother for a sorority. These roles gave her the opportunity to be part of campus life and provide a welcoming, supportive presence for young adults.

Joyce also pursued a business venture of her own when she purchased a clothing and fabric store in Scott City, Nebraska. Although her time as a business owner was brief, it was another example of her willingness to try something new and make the most of the opportunity’s life presented. After retiring, she relocated to High Point, North Carolina, where she spent her later years. Although she lived in many places she always made it feel like home for those she loved.

Along with her parents, Joyce was preceded in death by her siblings. Her brothers and sisters, Violet Leona Meier, Melvin George Meier, Harold Leroy Meier, Carl Meier, David Meier, Marlyce Ramig and Marvin Leroy Meier and Cathy Mangrum.

Ronald Edward Wright

Ronald “Ron” Edward Wright, 62, of High Point, passed away unexpectedly Monday, October 19, 2026, at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.

Born March 28, 1964, in Lexington, he was a son of Carolyn Swanner Wilson and the late William “Bill” Wright.

Left to cherish his memory; his wife, Carol McNeill Wright; children, Edward Wright of High Point, Emily Ann Wright of Brooklyn, NY, and Katie Mac Wright of Raleigh; siblings, Anna Wright Troutman of High Point, Don Wright and wife Shelley of Lookout Mountain, TN, and Greg Wright of High Point; and numerous loving nieces, nephews and cousins.

A loving husband, father, son, and brother, Ron will be remembered for his intelligence, quiet kindness, and a life that connected his family’s roots in North Carolina with friendships and communities across the world. With an adventurous spirit, Ron earned his pilot license at just 14 years old. He took joy in taking his children in to the sky and sharing that part of the world with them.

Ron graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology and spent his working life involved in printing at Wright of Thomasville, the family business. His work became an important part of the company’s international story. He established its China operation and spent many years working in the region, with Hong Kong serving as his base. That chapter of his life brought together his professional abilities and his enduring love of rugby. Together, those parts of his story reflect a man whose life reached far beyond any one place, while remaining connected to the people he loved.

Rugby was a thread running through Ron’s life, from his college years to his club days in Hong Kong. It was both a sport he loved and a community to which he belonged. In Hong Kong, he became involved with the Pot Belly Pigs, a charity rugby organization, combining his enthusiasm for the game with opportunities to give back. The friendships and connections he made there remained a meaningful part of his life.

A devoted Jimmy Buffett fan and proud Parrothead, Ron shared with Carol a great love of attending Buffett’s concerts. Their adventures included a secret trip to St. Barts, where they had the chance to see him perform up close—a special memory in their life together.

Ron also supported his local community through his involvement with the Boys and Girls Club. His participation in these organizations reflected a kindness that was often expressed quietly. He was a thoughtful, intelligent man with a reserved, sometimes stoic manner. Those qualities were part of who he was, alongside the love he held for his family.

His family and friends will carry forward their own memories of Ron: his quiet presence, his sharp mind, his kindness, and the experiences they shared with him. Above all else, his children were the greatest joy of his life!

Memorial Service will be 11:00AM Monday, October 26, 2026, in the sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church; 918 North Main Street, High Point; with the Reverend David Smith officiating.

The family will receive friends 10:00-10:45AM prior to the service in the Family Life Center at the church.
