Ronald Wayne (Reggie) Wright, 59, of Hudson, Massachusetts, formerly of Holliston, Massachusetts, passed away on the evening of April 19, 2026, at the UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester, Massachusetts, after a short illness.
Born in Framingham, Massachusetts, on November 29, 1966, he was the beloved youngest son of the late Cecil Wright Sr and the late Eileen (Clayton) Wright.
Ronnie, affectionately known as “Reggie” by many, chose the nickname himself in honor of his Godfather, the late Deacon Reggie Hamilton of Beechville, Nova Scotia, the community that provided Reggie’s family roots.
Reggie attended elementary school and junior high school in Holliston before moving on to Keefe Tech, where he was a member of the soccer and basketball teams prior to graduating in 1984.
An avid fan of all professional Boston sports teams, he was always up and eager for a hearty debate on their fortunes and failures. In addition to being a lifelong honorary member of the Folkes and Ralston families, Reggie was a helper by nature from a very young age. He was always quick to lend a helping hand, wearing a broad smile and sharing a hearty laugh.
Reggie was predeceased by his parents, Cecil and Eileen, and grandparents, Howard and Georgina Wright, and Violet (Clayton) Ergas. He is survived by his best friend and soulmate, Deb Hayes of Hudson, Massachusetts, his big brother, Cecil Jr (Deb) of Halifax, Nova Scotia, children, George, Francine, Brittney, Elizabeth, Victoria, Jacob, and Ben: grandchildren Felicity, Riley, Ava, Austin and Presley; Niece, Danielle (Blake) and Nephew, Dennis (Brenda) both of Beechville, Nova Scotia, along with many great nieces, nephews and a world of cousins.
Reggie will be sadly missed but very fondly remembered for his helping and happy demeanor. He always chose to see the good in the world and tried to do his part to make it a better place.
At his request, cremation has taken place, and a service to celebrate his life will be held at the First Baptist Church, 40 High Street, Holliston, Massachusetts, on Saturday afternoon, April 25,at 1:00 pm. Please join his family and friends for his homegoing celebration.
