Before retiring in 1998, James, a resident of Keithville, Louisiana, was employed by Alloy Piping as a saw operator. He enjoyed watching old westerns and gardening. He loved niece Sheila's cat, "Tickles." He also loved visiting family and friends in his red pickup.
James is preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Floyd E. Wright, Lloyd Wright, Joe Wright, Albert Wright, Lash L. Wright; sisters, Estell Ebarb, Elsie Galbraith, Dorothy McDonald, Rudell Malone, Maddie Wright, and Patsy Wright.

James will be terribly missed, but we are at peace knowing he is in heaven with the rest of his family.
