Rob Roger Wright's Obituary
Rob Wright Obituary
Born December 7, 1959 in Ft. Worth, Texas, Rob was the son of Robert Wright and Jane (Hester) Tucker. He grew up in Ft. Worth, Texas in a loving family. He graduated from Southwest High School with the Class of 1978. Many remarkable stories were told by Rob about his time working at the local skating rink. While in high school, Rob discovered motorcycles, guitars, and ultimately, a really good time! He attended Stephen F. Austin University where he was a member of the Kappa Alpha Fraternity. He also studied Marketing at Texas Christian University in Ft. Worth.
Along with his father, Rob relocated to Tulsa in 1991. Rob's friend and former band-mate, Jan, introduced him to Keren Lee. The couple dated for five years and were married March 16, 1996. He met several like-minded musicians and formed a Reggae band called the "Rhythm Lizards." Since the band had two musicians named Rob, Rob Wright was affectionately known as "Clean-Cut Rob." He was quite fond of that distinction.
From an early age, family was the most important thing to Rob Wright. He was a loving son, brother, husband, and father. Rob and Keren were the most devoted parents to their three boys, Dylan, Christian, and Braden. They were actively involved in the Boy Scouts of America Troop 20, raising all three boys to the rank of Eagle Scout. Rob also loved the Sea Base Adventures in the Florida Keys. Scuba diving became a lifestyle in the Wright household. Christian, Braden, and Keren became open water certified. In recent years, Rob and Keren traveled extensively, joining the ranks of Divemaster, along with their friends at Okie Scuba. They enjoyed helping others in getting certified and blowing their own bubbles. Rob and Keren remained active in the Boy Scout's Troop 20 until his passing. The Wright family were faithful members of Boston Avenue United Methodist Church.
Professionally, Rob assisted his father with his architectural business, Interarch, mostly with accounting and managing the subcontractors. He eventually would pursue his real estate broker's license, holding sales positions with McGraw Realtors, as well as Chinowth and Cohen. Rob's sales career eventually transitioned into a marketing role with Hargrove Manufacturing. For the past fourteen years, Rob has maintained a successful marketing position with Stone Age Manufacturing.
Rob started his career with Stone Age Manufacturing in 2009 as Director of Sales and Marketing. Stone Age was an early pioneer in the outdoor living industry, producing elements needed in whole outdoor living areas. Rob's marketing skills helped elevate Stone Age into a household name brand that is recognized as an industry leader throughout the United States, Canada, and several other countries around the world. His sales experience helped guide thousands of homeowners in their decisions and choices to design a special place that they could call their own. Rob's intelligence and vast knowledge allowed him to communicate the technical information needed by hundreds of Stone Age dealers, architects and designers, DIY'ers , construction professionals, and general contractors - giving them the ability to construct the components of each and every individual project. Rob had a title at Stone Age, but wore many hats. He was genuine, honest, loyal, hard working, patient, and kind. HIs character has impacted Stone Age's reputation in the most positive way. The relationships he developed will continue on far into the future. Rob was a great influence to those he came in contact with and his contributions will live on in the back yards of homes, improving family time, and quality of life of those who never knew him. May his memory be eternal in the hearts of all who did.
Surviving family include his wife, Keren Wright; his three sons, Dylan, Christian, and Braden Wright; his parents, Robert Wright and Jane (Hester) Tucker; siblings, Robin (Wright) Heim, Jacy (Wright) Johnson, Gannon Tucker, and Shawn Tucker; his only daughter and beloved dog, Gemma; as well as many extended family and close friends.
Rob was preceded in death by his stepfather, Gary Tucker.
