Bobby Glynn Bright Jr. | Eastern NC Now

    Bobby Glynn Bright, Jr., 57, of Washington, NC, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at ECU Health Beaufort Hospital.

    Family and friends are invited to gather in celebration of Glynn's life from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at Paul Funeral Home & Crematory of Washington, and at other times at the home of his mother. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, October 3, 2025, at Haven's Gardens waterfront-a place that reflects Glynn's love for nature and the water.

    Born in Beaufort County on April 17, 1968, Glynn was the son of the late Bobby Glynn Bright, Sr., and Jennie "Marie" Hill Bright, who survives. A graduate of Washington High School, he went on to earn an associate's degree from NC State University as a proud member of the Wolfpack. Guided by his appreciation for the beauty of God's creation, Glynn built a career as the owner and operator of Turf Wise Lawncare in Winterville, NC.

    Glynn's happiest moments were spent outdoors-fishing on quiet waters, hunting in the early morning light, and sharing those experiences with his beloved black labs. Above all, he cherished his family and found his faith as an active member of Latitude Church in Bayboro. His warm spirit, steadfast work ethic, and devotion to the people and places he loved will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

    Glynn leaves behind his beloved mother, Marie, whom he cared for dearly; his sister, Jennie B. Singleton, and her husband Jim, who share Glynn's love of fishing; niece Katelyn Gaskins and her husband Josh of Washington; nephew Dylan Singleton of Winston-Salem; niece Shanna Steinert and her husband Nick of Bethel; his great-niece, Stella James Gaskins, and greatnephews, Sawyer and Liam Steinert. He will forever be remembered as a loving son, brother, uncle, great-uncle and friend to many. His kindness and faith touched all who knew him and his well-known sense of humor was truly unmatched. "And he said to them, 'Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.'" - Matthew 4:19

    Glynn's family wants to extend their sincerest gratitude to the staff of Ridgewood Nursing Home for the care they provided Glynn over the last seven years, especially his treasured nurse and family friend, Paige Wallace.

    In lieu of flowers, Glynn's family kindly asks that donations be made to the Beaufort County Community College Foundation for the Glynn Bright LPN Scholarship to honor those who have cared for Glynn during his residence at Ridgewood Nursing Home and those who will care for others in the future. Donations may be mailed to BCCCF 5337 Highway 264 East, Washington, NC 27889 or by card by calling 252-940-6326.
