Jacob Wright Obituary
Jacob had far outlived what he had been told. He wasn't supposed to live to be 4, then 6, then 8, and then he wouldn't see his teens. He showed them all. Thirty-five is a far cry from that.
Jacob was born in Silver City, N.M.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents Ralph Wright of Redrock, N.M., and Rhea Tow and Wilma Tow of Silver City.
He is survived by his grandmother Anna Mae Wright of Redrock; father and mother Hunt and Alleena Wright of Klamath Falls; two sisters and one brother Tiffany Wright of Klamath Falls and her fiancé Matt Gallup, Kristel Adams and his brother-in-law Dan Adams of Klamath Falls, and David Wright of Klamath Falls; five nieces and nephews, and a world of friends.
He was a blessing every day of his life and he will be missed greatly.
The family is having a life celebration on Saturday, June 16, at his parents' house at 4974 Mathers St. in the Stewart-Lenox area from 2 to 4 p.m. Any of his many friends who would like to attend are very welcomed.

My precious son, I miss you terribly but know that you are in a wonderful place and happy all the time. This thought keeps me going and knowing that I can make it through. You sure did leave a great big hole in our lives when you left. I hope you know how much you are loved

Jake, you were the light of the party even when we weren't partyin'. You had a heart of gold and a personality nobody could EVER match. I am so glad to be a part of your amazing family and I am a better person having known you. Still doesn't feel real and wish you'd just jump out and start dancing but I know you're dancing up there. Rest in Paradise, my friend. We love and miss you dearly.

Jake was truly an incredible young man. I have such fond memories hanging out with him and the rest of our rowdy crew of cousins in Redrock. I was always amazed by his zest for life despite facing such difficult circumstances. Rest in peace buddy, we will see you in heaven some day.
We pray that the Lord comfort your family during this difficult time.

My first nephew, Jake and I had a special connection. I was living with Leena and Hunt when Jake came into this world. He was a fighter from day one and I am so glad he doesn't have to fight anymore! I Love you Jake! And I will count the days till I can be with you again. Enjoy your heavenly body that is as perfect as your soul always was. Say hi to all up yonder kiddo! Your Uncle Tim.

We didn't get to see Jake very often after he grew up, but we will always remember the little boy who giggled at just about everything and brought such joy to everyone around him. He was gentle and sweet and, even with all his struggles, we have no memory of him ever complaining. Hunt and Lena, Tiff and family, Kris and family, and Dave—please know that we love you, and we are thinking of you now.

Our love and prayers are with all of you. Jacob was a kind and courageous young man and what a wonderful blessing to know that he lives on and that we'll see him again. One of my favorite memories of Jacob is the way he would get so tickled when we were all together and the Wright men (all good storytellers!!) were entertaining us. He had such an infectious laugh and so enjoyed his family. We love you all.
