Kallie Wright, the wife of rodeo star Spencer Wright, shared a heartbreaking obituary dedicated to their son Levi Wright.
On Friday she shared the link to the Mortuary.org obituary on Facebook in memory of their three-year-old son, who tragically passed away on June 2 at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City.
“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,” the obituary read.
‘He passed away on June 2, 2024, after a two-week stay at Primary Children’s Hospital following an accident on May 21 while doing what he loved most: riding his electric toy tractor.’
This comes shortly after Kallie shared her harrowing memory of how the toddler was seriously injured after driving his toy tractor into a raging creek near their family home in Beaver County, Utah, on May 21.

In memory of their beloved son, the obituary read: “Levi was exceptionally thoughtful and considerate for his age, constantly thinking of others.”
“His heart was pure, tender and too big,” the note continued.
“Levi loved his big sister Steeley, and playing with her was one of his greatest joys. They were instant best friends.
‘The verdict was still partially passed on his brother, Brae, but Levi often asked to ‘hold the baby’.
The obituary continued: “Levi was a die-hard grandma’s boy, who always asked to go to Gamma’s house.
“He loved going to church with Grandma and was a ray of sunshine for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“Levi had mastered his colors, counting to 7 and working with heavy equipment early on as Dad’s right-hand man.
“His father was the one he looked up to the most; he wanted to be like him and was well on his way.

This comes shortly after Kallie shared her harrowing memory of how the toddler was seriously injured after driving his toy tractor into a raging creek near their family home in Beaver County, Utah, on May 21.
‘He had a passion for tractors, excavators, skid steers and all heavy equipment, even his choice of music followed suit; he always asked to play Big Green Tractor and The Excavator Song.”
At the end of the message in memory of Levi, the obituary read: “Levi’s family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the volunteers and first responders who participated in his search and rescue efforts, as well as the attentive and compassionate staff at the Primary Children’s Center. Hopital.’
Levi is survived by parents Spencer and Kallie, sister Steeley, five, and nine-month-old brother Brae, as well as his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
A few days earlier, his mother shared a post on Facebook detailing how she dove into the creek to save Levi after he disappeared under the fast-flowing water.
He drove his toy tractor across their land and crossed the creek, which divided the property between theirs and that of Levi’s grandparents.
Kallie previously explained that the water in the creek “only runs for a short time during the year and can change overnight.”
In her previous post, she said, “Levi hasn’t done anything he hasn’t done before, but this time the water was at its peak and strong enough to push his tractor off the road and into the creek as he drove through it.”
According to a statement from the Beaver County Sheriff’s Office, Levi was “quickly located” and given “life-saving measures.”
Levi is survived by parents Spencer and Kallie, sister Steeley, five, and nine-month-old brother Brae, as well as his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
He survived 12 days in hospital with a glimmer of hope that he could regain brain function before his devastated parents said they had to say goodbye and turn off his life support last Sunday.
He was taken to the hospital by ambulance before being airlifted to Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City.
The initial prognosis was devastating, as doctors concluded he had suffered brain death underwater due to lack of oxygen.
But his heart was beating on its own and Levi’s father said the family “received several small miracles” and that doctors were “surprised by the progress he has made.”
