Jesse Wright Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Olmstead Funeral Home - Heber Springs on Dec. 24, 2025.
Jesse was found deceased at his home on Saturday December 20th 2025. He had suffered from a pulmonary disorder causing his health to decline over a period of years.
Jesse is survived by his four sons: Skylar Winters, Max Winters, Spencer Wright, and Truan Wright : Older brother Joseph Wright and Younger sister Shenella Whitener. He was preceded in death by his mother CriSandra Whitener, father Larry Wright, grandparents Jesse Knapp and Shelby Knapp.
Jesse's greatest hero, namesake and father figure was his Grandpa Knapp. Jesse's personal code of ethics and spiritual beliefs were centered around his Grandpa's actions in daily life teaching.
Jesse's struggle with substance abuse and poor life choices caused him to go in and out of the legal system for much of his life. He suffered from depression and lost all drive to improve himself or his situation.
The death of Jesse's mother and his declining health helped Jesse focus more on his life and what his grandpa had taught him. Jesse picked himself up and started studying his bible, moved into a better home and bought new clothes.
Throughout his life he was always willing to help people in need. If they needed something he had he would give it to then. He loaned/gave money to people having trouble making ends meet. Sometimes he would give away money he needed for himself.
Jesse got right with the Lord and was ready when he was called home.
A graveside service will be held at 3:00pm on December 26, 2025 in the Knapp Cemetery.
