Andre Wright was a beloved son, husband, father, accomplished athlete, and an exceptionally intelligent and determined individual whose life was filled with ambition, passion, and promise.
To those who knew him well, Andre had a wonderful sense of humour. He was funny in a way those closest to him knew best, bringing laughter and memorable moments to the people in his life. He was also a perfectionist who set high standards for himself and approached his goals with focus and determination.
A talented hurdler, Andre attended the University of Windsor, where he continued his academic and athletic journey. His dedication earned him selection to represent Canada on the World Junior Track and Field Team and the Pan American Team, achievements that reflected years of discipline, perseverance, and commitment.
His passion for health and fitness extended beyond competitive sport. Andre developed Vacation Body Fitness, his own personal training business, bringing together his knowledge of training, his entrepreneurial spirit, and his drive to create something of his own.
Yet Andre’s story is not defined by achievements alone. He was a son, a husband, and a father whose life mattered deeply to those who loved him. His humour, intelligence, ambition, and determination remain part of how he is remembered.
The Andre Wright Legacy Foundation carries forward the values reflected in his life: education, perseverance, health, wellness, and opportunity. Through every student supported and every person connected with help, we hope to create something meaningful in his name.
