In addition to his work in the School of Law, where he won the first-class division of the Intramural ABA Negotiation Competition, Wright was actively involved in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving as a Sunday school teacher, a member of the priesthood and a visitor to people in the congregation.

Wright also served a two-year mission for the church in Poland.

Private funeral services were held May 11 near his parents' home in Alta Loma, Calif., at the Rancho Cucamonga Stake Center. An additional memorial service was held May 9 in St. Louis at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

A memorial service for the law school community will be held this fall.

"Paul was an extraordinarily popular and talented student," said Joel Seligman, J.D., dean and the Ethan A.H. Shepley University Professor in the School of Law. "His classmates, the faculty and the administrators with whom he worked were deeply saddened by his death. He vividly touched so many lives at the school and in the community."

The law school is compiling a memory book about Wright to be presented to his family members.

Wright is survived by his wife, Sarah Elwell Wright; his parents, Charley and Marijean Wright; and six brothers and sisters, Keri, Ryan, Alicia, Jason, Christopher and Laura.
