Tevin James Wilkerson Wright 29 of Empire, passed away on Friday, August 21, 2026, leaving behind a heart full of love and a legacy of good times. He was a gentle giant, a true big kid at heart who adored his family, friends, and, of course, his beloved dogs, Littlemamas and Sunshine.

Tevin had a real passion for cars-whether he was working on them or just talking about them, he lit up whenever the topic came up. He loved fishing, and many will remember him as the kind soul always up for a good laugh and a fun adventure. Truly, he was a kind-hearted teddy bear who brought joy to everyone he met.

Tevin is survived by his father, Bo Wright; his sisters, Michelle and Stephanie Wright; his niece, Nevaeh Drummond; and his nephew, Lane Wright. He will also be missed by his aunt, Tanya Julian, and cousins, Skylar and Aaron Julian. Tevin was preceded in death by his mother, Kristin Wright; his grandmother, Pat Jones; and his uncle, Rodney Sides.

At this time, there are no services scheduled. However, the family will announce any future gatherings to celebrate Tevin's life.
