Amarion "Mari" Jay Edmundson

Amarion “Mari” Jay Edmundson, 15, of Red Wing, passed away at home on November 12, 2026 after a short but hard-fought battle with an aggressive cancer.

He was born December 7, 2010 in Red Wing to Darcee Edmunson. He grew up in Red Wing and was attending Red Wing Central High School where he was a center on the Winger Football Team, #72. Mari loved football and had been playing since fifth grade. He especially loved the comradery sharded on the field with his teammates. When he wasn’t playing, he loved watching football, cheering on the Vikings and enjoying the comradery on the couch. Mari especially loved to spend time with his godson Zaymir.

He was a hard worker with a kind and gentle heart. Those who knew him best thought of him as a big, friendly teddy bear. He was upbeat and funny. He enjoyed being around his family and friends, especially during his cancer battle.
