Obituary of Christopher Wright

Born and raised in Waukesha, Chris attended Meadowbrook School, Horning Middle School and North High School. After completing a short course at WCTC for auto body repair, Chris continued in this field for several years operating C&C Automotive Repair, the precision Auto Body and Paint.

Chris enjoyed participating in amateur night racing at Union Grove drag strip as well as Harley rides to South Dakota and Wyoming with family and friends. He loved to see the open spaces and wildlife. Christopher’s vast experiences gave him the abilities to paint and repair vehicles, roof a house, fix plumbing, flooring, or hang blinds. He was always willing to help and share his knowledge.  Chris’s most recent farming venture was the reintroduction of hemp in S.E. Wisconsin. He was a quite knowledgeable on the subject and proud of his accomplishments.

Chris’s greatest joy in life, of course, were his daughters but also his animals. After moving to Jefferson, WI with his dogs Bear and Peanut, Chris started raising chickens for eggs, pigs, goats, rabbits, and beef cattle. He was happiest surrounded by family and his animals.

Christopher is survived by his daughters, Allison and Lillian whom he loved very much and was so proud of, along with very special friend, Darlene Zautner. Parents, Craig and Lauriel Wright; sister, Danielle (Adonis Joiner); niece, Adelle; uncles, Eric Johnson, Mark (Teri) Wright; cousins, Justine (Luke) Ybarra, Jade Johnson, Jill Wright, and Jacob (Jennifer) Wright; paternal grandparents, June Wright and David Wright, as well as many extended family members and friends. Christopher was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Peder and Roberta Johnson.
