Rodeo star and his wife pay touching tribute to their three-year-old son who died in an accident

Professional rodeo star Spencer Wright and his wife Kallie Wright pay poignant tribute to their three-year-old son, who died after driving his toy tractor into a creek.

According to Facebook posts by Kallie Wright, Levi Wright died on June 2, nearly two weeks after suffering a brain injury while driving a toy tractor through a creek on the family’s property in Utah.

In his obituary, Levi is remembered as “Grandma’s boy” who loved his family, dinosaurs, tractors, and his cowboy hat and boots.

“Levi knew his colors, counted to 7 and was his father’s right-hand man on the first heavy equipment,” the obituary states. “His father was the one he looked up to the most; he wanted to be just like him and was well on his way to getting there. He had a passion for tractors, excavators, skid steers and all heavy equipment, even his music choices followed suit – he always asked for Big Green Tractor and The Excavator Song to be played.”

The obituary continues: “Like many 3-year-old boys, he developed a growing love of dinosaurs. He had recently convinced himself he was a T-Rex and had begun yelling at people when he was too shy to speak to them. He was rarely seen without his cowboy hat and boots. He had just gotten his own horse and was beginning to enjoy family rides.”

Levi’s father, Spencer Wright, was ranked 35th in the world by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association last year. He has won a world championship and is one of 13 children in a family of rodeo champions, according to his biography with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.

In addition to Levi, Spencer Wright and his wife have two other children, a daughter named Steeley and a young son named Brae.

According to his obituary, Levi loved his family and was an “extraordinarily considerate” child.

“Levi was exceptionally thoughtful and considerate for his age, constantly thinking of others. His heart was pure, tender and oversized,” the obituary reads. “Levi loved his big sister Steeley and playing with her was one of his greatest joys. They were instantly best friends. The verdict on his little brother Brae was still partly open, but Levi often asked to ‘hold the baby.'”

The obituary states that the three-year-old also enjoyed going to church with his grandmother. “Levi was a die-hard grandma’s boy and always wanted to go home to Gamma,” the obituary states.

Kallie Wright elaborated on the accident that led to Levi’s death in a June 6 Facebook post, writing that the toddler had asked to ride his tractor to his grandmother’s house that day.

In the post, she said that the family often rode bikes or toys or walked along a road that ran through a stream on the way to his grandparents’ house.

“Levi didn’t do anything he hasn’t done before, but this time the water was high and strong enough to push his tractor off the road into the creek as he drove through,” Kallie Wright wrote. “He asked me to ride on his tractor and I explained that Grandma wasn’t home and he shouldn’t drive through the creek or the road, just around the house. When he drove off, I ran back into the house. This is a decision that will haunt me for the rest of my life.”

She continued, “At that moment, the responsibility for him was mine alone. Whether I went back to check on my sleeping baby, change the laundry, wash a bottle or put away lunch, I honestly don’t know. Whatever it was, it wasn’t more important that day than following him.”

According to Levi’s obituary, his life will be honored in a private memorial service.
