The incident has left family, friends, and neighbors heartbroken, struggling to make sense of a tragedy that claimed a life filled with promise and purpose.
According to authorities, the fatal crash occurred near milepost 12 when Wright’s vehicle veered off the roadway, went airborne, and overturned in a nearby field. The vehicle quickly became engulfed in flames. Despite the rapid response from Oregon State Police, the Glide Volunteer Fire Department, and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Wright was pronounced dead at the scene.

He was remembered as a vibrant, passionate, and deeply cherished young man whose presence brought warmth, laughter, and light into every room he entered. To his family, he was a source of pride and unwavering love. To his friends, he was the one they could always count on—quick with a joke, ready to help, and always willing to listen.
Wright’s spirit embodied the heart of small-town Oregon: hardworking, kind, and full of resilience. Whether he was spending time outdoors, investing in his future, or simply enjoying moments with those closest to him, he approached life with a balance of adventure and grounded sincerity that made him unforgettable.
As loved ones gather to grieve, many are choosing also to celebrate the life he lived—the joy he brought, the connections he nurtured, and the lasting impression he left on countless others.
