Kent S Wright,73, husband, dad, grandpa and all-around great man passed away on February 6, 2025, at the Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City Utah. He was born September 21, 1951, in Ogden Utah to Stanley T and Ruth Fisher Wright. 
Kent was a member of the 1st Presbyterian church and did achieve the rank of Eagle Scout during his high school years. He graduated from Bonneville High School in 1969 and joined the United States Navy (USN) in 1971. He served 2 years of active duty with the USN and 4 years of reserve duty. 
When he returned from serving overseas during the Vietnam War, he married the love of his life, Marlene Campbell in 1973. 
He began his higher education journey and went on to graduate from Weber State University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University where he earned a Masters of business degree. 
He began his work career at Hill Air Force Base as a Firefighter EMT and later a Contract Negotiator. One of the highlights of his civilian Air Force career was living for 2 years in the Washington DC area supporting the military and Air Force One.
Kent enjoyed all the things that life has to offer like traveling with his wife, camping trips with his kids, and the annual deer hunt with his son, son-in-law, and grandsons. His absolute-pastime passion was flying an airplane. He began flying in 1980 and eventually earned the title of certified flight instructor. He volunteered with the Civil Air Patrol Search and Rescue and performed many missions helping to locate lost aircraft, people, and training future pilots. He owned several airplanes over the years but building his own plane with the help and advice of his aviation friends was one his ultimate accomplishments.

Bill (William) Henry Petty

Bill (William) Henry Petty

April 16, 1951 - July 29, 2023

Honolulu, Hawaii, Born to loving parents Donald Marion Petty and Lucile Simmons Petty, “Bill”, as he liked to be called, fought a 10 1/2 year battle with cancer. He was the eldest brother to Paul, Mark, Diane, Steve and Karl.
While many people can say they are a “jack of all trades but a master of none…” Bill could truly say he could master most anything he set his brilliant mind to. He had an incredible memory, which served him and many others all of his life.
He was able to take apart electronics and appliances, such as his mother’s Kirby vacuum, branching onto vehicles and other various simple and complex gadgets. His crowning achievement was fixing, building and repairing organs, pianos and pipe organs. He could tune anything. He knew and understood the inner workings of machines, simple to complex… Bill was a very complicated, complex, and trailblazing individual.
After he graduated from the Bonneville High School class of 1969 in Ogden, Utah, he was then drafted into the Vietnam War, a scary time for all. Luckily, he was assigned to be a military policeman at the Presidio in San Francisco, California. During his time in the military, he learned confidence, structure, and a new world-view about politics and life.
He is well-loved by many in Hawaii, California, Utah, and beyond. We cannot begin to share all he packed in in his 72 years, but he lived a well-seasoned life. Bill is survived by his siblings Paul (Susan) Petty of Ogden, Utah; Mark (Teri) Petty of Wichita, Kansas; Diane (Bryan) Larson of Egin, Idaho; Steve (Rhonda) Petty of Fruit Heights, Utah; Karl (Mimi) Petty of Orem, Utah; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends and church families, both in Hawaii and on the mainland.
He is proceeded in death by his dear mother, Lucile Simmons Petty, and father, Donald Marion Petty, and grandparents Willie and Annie Petty, and Elmer and Mabel Simmons.
The family asks that to honor and preserve Bill’s memory, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his honor to “Church of the Crossroads” 1212 University Avenue, Honolulu, Hawaii, or to the “Bill Petty Theatre Organ Maintenance and Restoration Fund” at the Hawaii Theatre Center 1130 Bethel Street, Honolulu, Hawaii.
Warmest Aloha and Mahalo, from all the Petty Ohana to the staff at St. Francis Hospice Hospital, Church of the Crossroads, The Hawaii Theatre community, and all of his very good and great friends and Ohana, many who cannot be named, and to Mikey, his “Wingman”.
