It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Devin Dimitrius Wright, affectionately known as "Deuce," who departed this life on Friday, March 14, 2025, at UK Medical Center, at the tender age of 19.

Devin was a proud graduate of Montgomery County High School, class of 2024, where he excelled not only academically but also as a dedicated member of the bowling team. His love for the sport mirrored his approach to life-enthusiastic and competitive, yet always kind-hearted. After high school, Devin pursued his dreams in the field of dentistry, attending Morehead State University as a pre-dental major.

In his professional life, Devin started working at Walmart since early high school, where his colleagues admired his work ethic and warm demeanor.

Devin found joy in BMX riding and spent many hours working on his car, relishing each moment spent honing his skills. Devin cherished spending time with his childhood best friends and his fiancé whom he loved with his whole heart.
