Steve Wright gone on 17:52 - Feb 13 with 2797 views | Boston | Saw that, while he never reflected much of what I was interested in, he was upbeat, professional and had a sense of humour, characteristics sadly lacking in many of his present day contemporaries. Know nothing about the bloke but I hope he had a good life. [Post edited 13 Feb 18:37]

Steve Wright gone on 21:30 - Feb 13 with 2087 views | Malintabuk | Just found this out tonight and so so shocked. A fantastic broadcaster and like a lot on here spent a lifetime since the early 80s till today listening to him For me he will be there with the likes of Tony Blackburn; Kenny Everett et al as true dj legends. Since Radio 2 had their cull it really as not been the same, and when you listening now to it it seems to have lost its soul RIP | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Steve Wright gone on 23:24 - Feb 13 with 1813 views | Lblock | I was never a big fan -- in fact for obvious musical preferences I avoided Radio One etc for years However..... As I got older and began driving holidays around the countryside of this fair Isle the only station I could get was Radio 2 and I really did warm to him over the latter years. 69 years old is no age. Assume with the sudden nature it was a heart attack and I hope he is in that great DJ Booth in the sky enjoying himself (but not stopping Frankie Knuckles from being on the decks) | ![](/images/avatars/4057.gif) |

Steve Wright gone on 05:50 - Feb 14 with 1617 views | stowmarketrange | I started listening to his show when I took up driving trucks as there was nothing else to listen to back in the early 00’s.It was a good listen in those days with the old woman and people’s playlists at 3pm. As soon as he started that serious jockin garbage though I found another station to listen to as I found him boring and repetitive.With the changes at Radio 2 in the last couple of years I was surprised he stayed at the station.He was a lot better than oj Borge and the rest of crap now on Radio 2. RIP to him though and condolences to his family and friends. | ![](/images/avatars/4993.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

His voice was part of my growing pains. Just the Godfather, Tony Blackburn left now. RIP Steve. Man, i'll miss your voice. | ![](/images/avatars/16567.gif) |

Steve Wright gone on 14:29 - Feb 14 with 1115 views | w7r | I was pretty shocked to read about his passing. Was never a regular listener but he was one of those DJ's that had worked his way up from hospital radio, local radio - had served his broadcasting apprenticeship. I know he had a huge and loyal audience - he certainly was a broadcasting institution, and by all accounts a lovely guy. Sixty nine seems very young, he was such a bundle of energy it feels like he should have been going on for years yet. RIP Steve. | ![](/images/avatars/8459.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
