View Date:2025-01-11 09:19:58
Rodeo star Spencer Wright and Kallie Wright's son Levi Wright is remembered in a touching tribute days after his death.
Days after the 3-year-old was taken off life support following his drowning accident on their Utah property, his mom shared his obituary published by Southern Utah Mortuary.
"Our sweet boy, Levi Spencer Wright, affectionately known as 'Beans,' was born on March 24, 2021, in Cedar City, Utah, to Spencer and Kallie Wright of Beaver, Utah," it read. "He passed away June 2, 2024, after a two week stay at Primary Children's Hospital following an accident May 21st doing what he loved most, riding his electric toy tractor."
Levi was exceptionally thoughtful and considerate for his age, he was constantly thinking of others," the obituary continued. "His heart was pure, tender and oversized."
In addition to his parents, Levi is also survived by sister Steeley, 5, and baby brother Brae, 9 months.
"Levi loved his big sister, Steeley, and playing with her was one of his greatest joys. They were instant best friends," his obituary read. "The verdict was still partially out on his baby brother, Brae, but Levi often asked to 'hold baby.'"
Levi is also survived by his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
"Levi was a die hard Grandma's boy, always asking to go to Gamma's house," the obituary stated. "He enjoyed going to church with Grandma and was a Sunbeam for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints."
The obituary also listed several of the milestones Levi had reached and the special bond he formed with his father. "Levi had mastered his colors, counting to 7 and early heavy equipment operation as Dad's right hand man," it said. "His Dad was who he looked up to most; he wanted to be just like him and was well on his way."
Levi, the obituary said, "was rarely seen without his cowboy hat and boots," adding, "He had just acquired his own horse and was beginning to enjoy family horse rides."
Levi also liked dinosaurs and "had a passion for tractors, excavators, skid steers and all heavy equipment," his obituary continued. "Even his music choice followed suit-he was always asking to play Big Green Tractor and The Excavator Song."
On May 21, Levi was hospitalized in critical condition after accidentally driving his toy tractor into a creek that runs through his family's property and separates their home from his grandparents' house. On June 2, his family made the decision to take him off life support.
"Levi's family would like to extend a warm thank you to the volunteers and first responders that participated in his search and rescue as well as the attentive and compassionate staff at Primary Children's Hospital," the obituary said. "Details for funeral services will not be made public. If you wish to attend, please contact a family member or close family friend to be provided details at their discretion."
Look back at Kallie and Spencer's sweetest moments with Levi, Steeley and Brae...
Kallie Wright shared a photo of son Levi—who was taken off life support in June 2024 following injuries sustained after he fell in a Utah river on a toy tractor—and daughter Steely alongside husband and rodeo star Spencer Wright in 2022 writing, "Snuck away to spend some time with Dad!!"
Kallie posted this photo of Levi with his face covered in chocolate in 2022, captioning the moment, "I can't not share this, he loves his ice cream!"
In February 2023, Levi and Steely helped their parents announce that there would be a baby boy joining their family. "We are so lucky!!" Kallie wrote at the time. "Thanks to my bestie Mindy Sue Clark for the fun reveal with the kids!"
Baby Brae was born in August 2023, Kallie shared on Facebook Aug. 2 writing, "Introducing Brae Milo Wright! Our hearts are so full!"
At the end of January, Kallie posted a photo of Levi and Steely posing in the field with their dogs.
As the family of a rodeo star, Levi and his siblings spent their fair share of time around horses, with Kallie posting this sweet image of her and Levi riding a horse together in March 2024.
During Levi's hospital stay, Kallie changed her Facebook profile photo to this sweet mother-son moment.
