Mickie Rae Wright

Mickie Rae Wright, 49, of Eustis, Florida, passed away on Sunday, October 6, 2024 Mickie was a devoted husband, father, and friend who had a love for nature and the great outdoors. He found peace in fishing, often with the sounds of classic rock playing in the background, perfectly blending his love for nature and music. Born on September 16, 1975, in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania where he spent much of his life until relocating to Eustis in 2015. A proud member of the 1994 graduating class of Lawrence County Vo-tech in New Castle, PA. Upon graduation, Mick worked at Veka for 21 years and was most recently employed with the city of Leesburg as a water technician. Mick was known for his work ethic, humor, and loyalty to those he loved. His presence was cherished by many, and his passing leaves a significant void. Mickie is survived by his beloved wife, Kathy Molfetto-Wright, and his cherished daughter, Kaitlyn Wright. He is also survived by his siblings: Donald 'Jay' (Wanda) Wright, Marc (Julie Vild) Wright, Elizabeth 'Liz' (David Aquino) Wright, and Patti (Jeff) Otlowski. Mickie’s legacy extends to his three stepchildren, Karlie (Jason) Westerman, along with their sons Aiden and Ryker, Michael Westerman, and Ryan Woloszyn. He will also be missed by numerous nieces, nephews, and friends, all of whom loved him dearly. He was preceded in death by his father, Harvey Wright, mother, Opal 'Pat' Kettler-Wright, brother, Harvey Wright II, and nephew, Jay Wright.

One of his favorite songs, "Free Bird," summed up his spirit, and, as the lyrics go, “I’m as free as a bird now.”
