Rev. Ronald L. Wright – Memorial Fund
(October 11, 1949 - August 31, 2015)

We began this appeal two weeks ago to help the Wright family with the crushing costs of Rev. Wright's medical care.   Things have changed in that the Lord called Rev. Wright home on Monday, August 31.

He had fought the good fight dealing with Parkinson's disease and a companion disease called Lewy Body Disease.  And now the family is faced with the additional burden of addressing the cost of celebrating his life.

This is an appeal for support of the family of Rev. Ronald L. Wright.  Ron's last moments were at the Silverado Beverly Place Memory Care Community facility, surrounded by his loving wife and brother, when he breathed his last breath.  He is now preaching, praising and worshipping the Lord in Heaven.

The family has arranged to celebrate his Homegoing on next Tuesday, September 8, 2015 at 11:00 a.m.  It will be at:

Holman United Methodist Church
3320 W. Adams Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90018
Rev. Kevin Sauls, Senior Pastor
Rev. Dr. Frank Madison Reid, III, Eulogist

As we continue to pray for the strength and comfort of the Wright Family, the friends, associates and fellow faith travelers can bless the family with a tangible gift.  

We know Rev. Ron's testimony:
2 Timothy 4:6-8 (NLT)
As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near.  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.

Would you please give to this GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN, and share this campaign with others who take seriously their Christian witness? 

Would you also reach out to those who may know of, or have had interactions with the Rev. Ronald L. Wright – and also reach out to folks with a kind heart? The legacy of our friend: A Brother who took seriously the Gospel message of seeking and serving the downtrodden, the lost and the discouraged – and telling them about Jesus the Christ.   

If he could preach one more sermon today, you would hear Rev. Ron shout:

 Romans 8:38-39 (NLT)
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

 The time for action is now.  Will you help?   God bless you!
