Brian R. Wright, 67, passed away peacefully on December 1, 2025, in Tamworth, New Hampshire. Born on March 25, 1958, in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, Brian lived a life marked by hard work, humor, and deep devotion to his family.
Brian began his career in Anchorage, Alaska, where he owned and operated a pizza shop. His entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to his craft were evident from the start. He later returned and began working as a mechanic, which was a true passion of his. After he worked as a machinist at his father's machine shop—an experience that honed his skills. Most recently, Brian was employed at Mitee-Bite Products, where he continued to demonstrate the same commitment and work ethic that defined his professional life.
He was known for his sharp wit and unfiltered sense of humor—often sharing laughter and colorful jokes that left lasting impressions on those around him. Beneath the rough edges was a man of great pride in his role as a grandfather. His grandchildren—Patrick, Aidan, Natalie, and Ethan—brought him immense joy and were a source of pride throughout his later years.
