Obituary for Wright Bronson Chandler of Southern Pines

Wright Bronson Chandler, 66, of Southern Pines, North Carolina passed away October 29, 2022 at First Health Moore Regional Hospital with his family by his side. He was born in Dayton, Ohio on February 12, 1956 to the late Charles Edwin Chandler, Jr and Mildred Bronson Chandler.

Wright will be missed by so many as he was a devoted husband to his wife, a father to his children and   had a lengthy network of friends.  Wright had a quick wit, an engaging smile, and a caring to “do the right thing” that led him to be so popular to so many.

Wright worked in the golf industry for nearly 20 years, the majority of that time in senior management roles with Golf Pride, a division of Eaton Corporation.  Prior to working at Golf Pride Wright was in medical sales in California, real estate sales in Florida and a teaching tennis professional also in Florida.

Wright graduated from Coshocton High School in Coshocton Ohio in 1974.  Wright was a multi-sport athlete, but his forte was in tennis where he still maintains numerous records at Coshocton High School.  Wright went on to play tennis for four years at Wittenberg College in Springfield Ohio and graduated in 1978. 

He is survived by his wife, Dana; children, Wright Bronson Chandler Jr., Gage Elise Chandler, and grandson Kayden; and bonus children, Chloe and Dalton Graham and brothers Jefferson Duncan Chandler and Charles Edwin Chandler III.

His family will receive friends after the service Friday, November 4th at 11:00 a.m. at Boles Funeral Home in Southern Pines. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Relay for Life of Scotland County in Honor of Wright Chandler, Sr.
