Wristen

Hadley Clay Wristen, 71, of Lubbock, Texas, passed away on November 9, 2026, in Lubbock. He was born on January 31, 1955, in Lamesa, Texas, and lived a life that will be remembered with love by those who knew him.

Hadley’s life began in West Texas, and that Texas beginning remained part of the story of a man whose name will be remembered with affection by those who knew and loved him. He was a long-time cotton farmer with interests in electronics, as well as small and vintage aircraft. His passing marks the loss of a beloved brother and son, and he is mourned with tenderness by family who carry his memory forward.

He is survived by his sister, Anita Davis and husband Lynn and brother, Bert Wristen and wife Martha. In their grief, they also hold close the bond of family and the years shared with Hadley, remembering him as part of the enduring connection between siblings that time does not erase. He is also survived by nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and many cousins for whom he cherished.

Hadley was preceded in death by his parents, Kenneth and June Wristen. Their memory remained an enduring part of the family’s story, and he now rests with them.

A crematory service will be held on November 17, 2026. His ashes will be buried at the family plot at the Dawson County Cemetery at a later date.

May Hadley be remembered with peace, gratitude, and love.
