Joshua Daniel Wright of Dover, Delaware, passed away, Friday, June 6th, 2025.
He was born May 12th, 1990, in Landstuhl, Germany, to Daniel R. Wright and Cynthia Jean Wright.
Josh spent his early years growing up in Delaware, attending Capital School District, and graduating from Polytech High School, where he built the foundation for a strong work ethic that carried through his life. He spent about 5 years with New Creation Landscaping before joining his brother at Wright’s Contracting, where he took great pride in his work and enjoyed being part of a family-run business. Outside of work, Josh found joy in the outdoors-he loved fishing and hunting, and he was equally passionate about staying active through running, bike riding, and going to the gym. His drive, dedication, and deep love for family, friends, and nature will always be remembered by those who knew him.
Josh is survived by his parents, Danny and Cindy Wright of Dover, DE; his brother, Tyler Wright of Magnolia, DE; his uncles, Rick (Katherine) Judd of Broad Run, VA, and Craig Judd of Dover, DE; and his step grandparents, Mike (Carol) Apger of Dover, DE.
Funeral services will be held 2:00pm, Wednesday, June 18th, 2025, at Torbert Funeral Chapel, 1145 E. Lebanon Road, Dover, Delaware. Friends and family may gather one hour prior.
