Joe Don Wright

Joe Don Wright, 56, passed away on November 7, 2025, in Orange, Texas.

Survived by his son Jacob Wright, brothers Jack Wright, Perry Ashworth, Matthew Ashworth and wife Cindi, Patrick Ashworth, Uncle Louis Williams and Aunt Joan Williams, and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Preceded in death by his father and mother Frank and Sandra Ashworth, and his biological mother Sandra Wright.

Born on April 1, 1969, in Dallas, Texas, Joe was a known master mechanic in SE Texas. His love for getting his hands dirty started in his teen years working alongside his dad under the hood of vehicles. By the time he was 18, he was a fully self-taught mechanic working for Ford in Ennis, Texas.

Joe was a quiet man. He was always available to give car advice or fix a car for family, friends, and even strangers. He never expected anything in return. His heart and soul were so gentle and kind.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
