Michael Lee “Shaky Mike” Wright, 57
Mr. Michael Lee “Shaky Mike” Wright, of Campbellsville, passed away on Sunday, August 12, 2018 . Born on April 21, 1961 in New Albany, Indiana, he was 57 years, 3 months, and 22 days of age. As a young man, he made a profession of faith in Christ and was of the Baptist faith. He worked many years in the construction industry, and was a licensed Electrical Contractor. Shaky’s laidback and easygoing, though sometimes gruff, manner of talk only hinted at his true inner self – an independent, hardworking man with a heart of gold that shared all he had with those around him. His infectious laughter when recalling a simple joke or prank filled many a job or campsite, and he had a knack for telling the best stories at the most (in)appropriate time. His simple yet loyal friendship will be forever cherished.
He leaves to mourn his passing:
His mother and stepfather: Charles and Modine (Harris) Keeling of Shepherdsville,
One son: Mitchell J. Wright and fiancé Amanda Pennington of Horse Cave,
One daughter: Evie Sheridan Wright of Campbellsville,
Three siblings: Charlotte Hamilton and husband Bruce of Bardstown, Charles Keeling and wife Lori of Shepherdsville, and Dana Robey and husband Joe of Louisville,
Three grandchildren: Asher, Rider, and Remington Lee,
And a host of nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Orvey and Jessie Harris, and two brothers, Frankie Wright and Tim Wright.
