James Wright Obituary
Though Jimmy was a fighter all his life, he had fought for so long that his body simply couldn't handle anymore pain.

He is survived by his loving Mother, Alice Wright, Sister, JoEllen (Tim) Jostes, Niece's, Leigh (Joel) Burke, Mandy (Brandon) Price, Great Nieces, Lauren Burke and Karissa Jackson, Great Nephew, Steven (Renae) Burke, and Great-Great Niece and Nephew, Malachi and Amelia Jeremiah.
He is preceded in death by his Father, John Wright and Brother, John Wayne Wright.
