Jayson Wright, 43, of Moose Lake, is finally free from his struggles. He passed away peacefully from natural causes on October 30, 2025, at Essentia Health in Moose Lake.
Born on March 3, 1982, in Moose Lake, Jayson came into the world full of life and laughter. He attended high school for several years in Willmar, MN, where he made many lasting friendships. Later, he took a brave step by moving to Springfield, Missouri, where he quickly found a new circle of true friends—Chelsea, Zach, and Josie.
Over the years, Jayson worked at various group homes in Minnesota, as well as at Walmart. He eventually settled in Marshall, MN, where he continued his meaningful work in another group home. There, he formed close friendships with Jeff, Chad, Eric, and many others—his “group home friends.”
Jayson will always be remembered for his generosity and kindness. He had a heart that put others before himself and a spirit that could light up any room. Known as the “life of the party,” he loved to make people laugh and always left those around him smiling. Once you were a friend of Jayson’s, you were a friend for life. He will be missed more deeply than words can express.
Jayson’s hobbies reflected his creative and joyful nature. He loved painting by number, collecting baseball cards, exploring YouTube, cooking, listening to music, and following almost every sport.
He was preceded in death by his grandmothers, Barb Nelson and Vera Wright; grandfather, Dale Wright; aunt, Tammie Wright; and cousin, Calvin Jeffers.
Jayson is survived by his loving mother, Deb Halls of Moose Lake; father, Mike Wright of Searcy, AR; brothers, Justin Wright of Raymond, MN, and Kody (Tayler) Halls of Moose Lake; sisters, Courtney (Bailey) Stevens of Searcy, AR, Kaitlyn Wright of Searcy, AR, and Maddie Wright of Searcy, AR; and grandfather, Roger Nelson of Moose Lake. He will also be deeply missed by his forever friend, Holly Setrum, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends who will forever hold his memory close.
