Jarrod Dalton McRight

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jarrod Dalton McRight, who left us too soon on February 10, 2025, at the age of 48. Born on October 3, 1976, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Jarrod touched the lives of everyone who knew him with his warm spirit and unique talents. 

An accomplished gunsmith with a doctorate in theology, he had a passion for his craft that was evident in everything he did.

He also excelled in sports, notably winning a gold medal in powerlifting at the national junior Olympics, a testament to his determination and strength.

He is survived by his parents Lawrence Dalton McRight Jr. and Jeanette Rayner McRight; his brother Dr. Scott Rayner McRight, MD and wife Shannon Miller McRight, P.A.; cherished niece Mallory Grace McRight; and special friends Addison Williams and Nai Williams.
