Celebration of Life – Damon Wright

by
 
At Legacy Athletics, we talk to our young athletes about building something that lasts beyond the scoreboard, beyond the season, beyond themselves.
 
Damon lived that as a father, husband, coach, mentor, athlete, and veteran.
 
And now his picture is hanging in the very training center where future athletes will walk in and out every day.
 
That’s LEGACY.
 
Coach Damon Wright may no longer be here physically, but every time one of our athletes sees his picture, there’s a reminder of what we’re trying to build.
 
Your faith.
Your family.
Your athletes.
Your legacy.
 
That’s not just a message anymore. That’s Damon!
 
On 26 Oct 2026 at 11 AM, we will remember and celebrate the life of one Damon Wright, at the Community Life Church in Tiger Point.
