Harold “Bert” Wright was born on May 9, 1955 in Centerville, Iowa to Harold M. and Gladys Hagan Wright. He graduated from Marshalltown High School in 1973. Immediately following high school, Bert began his 43-year career with Fisher Controls, retiring in 2017. Bert was a soft-spoken quiet man who was also very kind, caring and compassionate.  He was easy to talk to and would do anything for those he cared for. He deeply enjoyed the outdoors, and anything related to nature. His passion for hunting, fishing and wildlife was shared with his children and grandchildren which he loved and looked forward to every year. He also loved the lake and water spending time boating with his friends and family. Bert will be sincerely missed by his family and friends, but we rest assured his memory will live on through all those he so deeply cared for. Bert is survived by his children: Jake Wright, Drew (Taree) Wright and Luke (Erin) Wright. Grandchildren: Blake, Kaden, Skyler, Ashton, Makena, Cole, Logan, Jason and Kaine. Siblings: Cheri Lockhart, Louie (Lynda) Wright and Mike (Pat) Wright as well as his father, Harold M. (Elahvonne) Wright. Bert is preceded in death by his mother, Gladys Wright and sister Lou Ann Andersen.
