Tommy Lynn Wright, age 65, was born on May 21, 1960, in Aberdeen, Mississippi to Jimmie Sue and Seabern Wright III. After a lengthy battle with stage 4 cancers, the Lord called him home on Sunday, August 24, 2025. He passed peacefully at his residence in Kansas, Alabama.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents Annie-Mae and Jim McGinnis, Vergie and Seabern Wright II; parents Jimmie Sue and Seabern Wright III; brothers Charles (Bubba) Nix and Larry Wright; sister Ruth Ann Ingle; sister-in-law Tina Wright.

Tommy built furniture at both Winston Furniture and 3 Star. Later in life, he entered the mobile home industry. He was an avid fisherman and the biggest Alabama Crimson Tide fan. On any given Saturday, he could be found on a creek bank or in Bryant-Denny Stadium watching the Tide Roll.
