Cliff Bright
Cliff Bright, 74, former director of Housing & Urban Development in Campbellsville died Monday Mar. 27, 2017 at his home in Louisville, KY. He lived in Campbellsville over 30 years, where he raised two children and was employed by the City for over 20 years.
Mr. Bright was born in Louisville, Kentucky August 10, 1942. A 1960 graduate of Jeffersonville(Indiana) High School, he attended Indiana University. He also served his country during the Vietnam Era.
As a Campbellsville resident, Mr. Bright was an active part of the community. He served the Jaycees, Gideon’s International, First United Methodist Church, and numerous other organizations and charities. He played a pivotal part in local development and industry growth. His leadership helped build Miller Park and the city’s first Little League Field. He also worked with city leaders to create the annual Fourth of July Fireworks display.
Cliff loved baseball, his two children and their spouses, Chip and Taryn Bright, of Athens, Alabama and Brad and Ann Bright Wyatt, of Bowling Green, Ky. Of course, It is his grandchildren that brought him the most joy: Payton Bright, 12; Saylor Bright, 10; Nova Bright, 5; Lennon Bright, 5 months; Phoenix Wyatt, 5 months; and Blake Sapp, 24, of Russellville, Ky.
He will always be remembered for the joy he brought others, his thoughtfulness and dedication to make his community a better place. Cliff was a fun and good man. He always strived to fill every minute with life. He will be sorely missed by all who ever knew him.
A memorial service will be held in his honor Tuesday, April 11, 2017 at Parrott & Ramsey Funeral Home. Visitation will be from 5 to 7 p.m. with a eulogy to immediately follow. All gifts should be made to Gideon’s International.
