Jadon A Wright's Obituary
It is with deepest sorrow we announce Jadon Alvin Wright (Bug), age 21, our most beloved son, brother, family member, and friend passed on March 11, 2023 with his family by his side. Those who knew Jadon, even for a little while, lost a shining light in their lives.
Jadon was diagnosed with brain cancer on March 13, 2022. Shortly after this, Jadon became legally blind. At the time, he was working at Fed Ex and attending UW Oshkosh for Film. He was forced to give up both due to his diagnosis. Even then, Jadon lived his life without complaints. He never let his diagnosis define him and never once gave up fighting. He always had hope. Always. Jadon went out of his way to make sure everyone around him was laughing and happy. He was kind. Humble. He found the best in everyone in every situation. A true warrior and a hero in every sense of the word.
Jadon was a lover of animals and enjoyed movies and music. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends and his pets, especially his dog Rowena. Jadon will stay with us all through memories and laughs he forced us to endure whether we were in the mood or not. When you think of Jadon, celebrate the good memories you have of him. Remember that life is fragile and should be lived to the fullest.
Jadon was preceded in death by his twin brothers (Spencer/Riley Wright-Oshkosh), his great grandmother (Jane Ruedinger-Oshkosh), and his uncle (Michael Wright-Oshkosh).
Jadon will be missed everyday by his mother-Michelle Wright (Oshkosh), father-Michael Westphal (Waupaca), brother-Dakota (Sarah) Wright (Butte de Morts), nephews-Charles and Jax (Butte de Morts), sister and best friend-Starlin Wright (Oshkosh), grandparents-Charles and Denise Wright (Oshkosh), Paula Westphal (Waupaca), and Stephen Westphal (Fond du Lac), and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, March 25 from 11 am-1 pm at Fiss and Bills Poklasny; 865 S. Westhaven Drive, Oshkosh, WI 54904
The family would like to thank the Hospice Team at Ripon Community Hospital for their care and compassion during Jadon’s final hours.
