Ellen DeGeneres paid tribute to Wright in an emotional Instagram video, remembering him as an amazing, funny, and kind friend.
DeGeneres revealed that she and Wright were preparing to start a new project together prior to his sudden passing.
A GoFundMe campaign was established to assist Wright's family with funeral and travel expenses after he and his husband faced layoffs earlier this year.
Former colleague Andy Lassner also paid tribute, sharing that Wright had visited him on set just hours before his death.
