Joey Allen Wright

“Big Joe”

September 1, 1965 – January 5, 2026

Joey went to his heavenly home on January 5, 2026.

He is preceded in death by his son Joey Michael Wright; parents John and Gladys Wright; sister Gail Lawson and Jerry “Pacos” Lively.

He leaves behind his wife and best friend of 43 years Gail Trunzo Wright; son Jimmy Wright & Sarah; grandchildren Stevie, Lucas, Tyson, Oliver, and Bonnie Gail Wright, London and James Wright, Emma and Sawyer Howard; daughter-in-law Megan Crabtree; sister and brother-in-law Nikkie and Ken Paprocki; sister-in-law Nicole Trunzo and a host of nieces, nephews, to many to name specifically but loved individually.

Joey was many things, a wonderful loving husband, and father. The best “Pappy” around. His passion and career was HVAC, which he passed down to both his sons helping shape their careers.

His life has been dedicated to his family spending many weekends and holidays celebrating at the river. Sledding on Gobey with his boys and grandkids. There wasn’t a day he didn’t spend with at least one of the grandchildren. His whole heart was his family.

The family will receive friends Saturday, January 10, 2026 at Schubert Funeral Home from 11:00-12:00 p.m. with Bro. Don Laymance officiating. Interment will follow in the Choate Cemetery,  1602 Boatland Road, Jamestown, TN.
