Earl "Scott" Wright, of Wasilla, Alaska, passed away on June 17, 2025, at the age of 66. He is survived by his loving wife, Cheryl Wright, and his son, Weston Wright. He is also survived by his mother, Dixie Wright; his sister, Tammy; and his brothers, Jack and Cody. He was a proud grandfather to Scotland who he loved to fish with and Alexia.
Scott was known for his deep love of the outdoors, especially fishing and spending time on the water. He had a knack for working on boats and could often be found in the garage with tools in hand and a project underway. More than anything, Scott cherished time spent with his family his greatest source of pride and joy.
In lieu of flowers, those who feel inclined may contribute toward funeral expenses. Any remaining funds will be thoughtfully directed to some of Scott's favorite local charities in his honor. Venmo: @WestonWright907.
