Jonathan Palmer wrote a sympathy message

“This is especially tough for me, I was a student athlete of his from 2001-2004 at Port Gibson High and Coach Wright was a huge factor in my life. He was there with me for each of my powerlifting championships in my corner. He was my biggest supporter and it hurts to send this. I left the state in 2006 but on every return visit, I went to find him. He was such an influence. Jonathan Palmer”
