When 19-year-old College Station resident Jason Wright was killed in a 2018 car wreck, his family was devastated.
But the young man s special love for collecting shoes has inspired a community effort that could make a difference in the lives of many College Station ISD students.
âJason, if you knew him, was a lover of life, said Wendy Williams, Wright s mom and a local educator. He had a great smile and a great sense of humor. He never met a stranger.â
On the day Wright died, the community lost not only a former football player for A&M Consolidated High School, but a friend and loving family member. As Wrightâs family searched for ways to cope during the grieving process, his mom reflected on one special interest the teen had.
