Rodeo Star Spencer Wright's Wife Kallie Honors 3-Year-Old Son on the 1-Year Anniversary of His Death
Levi Wright's mom, Kallie Wright, is remembering her late son on the one-year anniversary of his death. 'A year ago today we held you as you took your last breaths. They said it could take a day or 2, I was so scared I wouldnt be holding you when you left and that was so important to me,' Kallie captioned an Instagram post on Monday, June 2. 'You stayed with us 17 minutes. As you left an overwhelming feeling came over me & I knew we had done right by you.' In the photo, Kellie held Levi in his hospital bed while her husband, Spencer Wright, stayed close to them both. 'For me this isnt the day you fully left us but the day it became official,' Kallie's caption continued. 'Levi we talk about and think of you everyday. We live for you! Our love for you is stronger than ever.' Levi was hospitalized in May 2024 following an accident that caused a severe brain injury. The Beaver County Sheriff's Office confirmed that 3-year-old Levi 'had driven a toy tractor into a river' and received 'life saving measures' before being taken to the hospital. After a day of medical care, Levi's family — including Spencer, a rodeo star, and Kallie — offered an update on his condition through family friend Mindy Sue Clark, who was sharing updates via Facebook. (The couple are also parents to daughter Steeley and son Brae.)

'After several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations with the world's best neurologists & millions of prayers we are here in the face of our biggest fear. Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this,' Kallie captioned a Facebook video at the time. 'We prayed those things were him defying odds & proving to us that he wanted to stay here but we see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go. I told you my baby was thoughtful & considerate, I truly believe he did that for us.' Levi was put on life support following his accident. 'Here soon I'll climb into bed with my baby and hold him as he falls asleep for the last time on this earth,' she wrote. 'I find comfort in knowing he will be restored to the perfect little boy he was & have the ability to do all the things he loves! I know there are Angels up there waiting to hold him until I can again!'

Levi Wright's Mom and Dad Held the 3-Year-Old as He Died After Toy Tractor Accident: 'You Stayed with Us 17 Minutes'
Kallie Wright is speaking out on the anniversary of 3-year-old son Levi Wright's death In May 2024, Levi, whom Kallie shares with rodeo star Spencer Wright, was hospitalized after driving his toy tractor into a river and then was taken off life support about two weeks later "Our love for you is stronger than ever," Kallie wrote in a new Instagram post on Monday, June 2Levi Wright's mom is remembering her son on the 1-year anniversary of his accidental death. 'A year ago today we held you as you took your last breaths,' Kallie Wright wrote on Monday, June 2, in a post on Instagram alongside a photo of her and her husband with Levi in his hospital bed. The 3-year-old, whom Kallie shares with rodeo star Spencer Wright, was removed from life support last year about two weeks after he drove a toy tractor into the water while playing at his Utah home in May 2024, authorities and his family have said. 'They said it could take a day or 2, I was so scared I wouldnt be holding you when you left and that was so important to me. You stayed with us 17 minutes," Kallie wrote in her tribute on Monday. 'As you left an overwhelming feeling came over me & I knew we had done right by you," she continued. "For me this isnt the day you fully left us but the day it became official. Levi we talk about and think of you everyday. We live for you! Our love for you is stronger than ever." Since Levi's death, his family has supported The Levi Wright Foundation, "where we hope to help families that face similar unimaginable situations in his memory," according to the organization's Facebook page. The foundation is also organizing a charity barrel race next month. Levi was initially hospitalized in critical condition and in the coming days, his mom shared numerous updates on her son's progress — both hopeful at times and heartbreaking at others. On May 26, 2024, five days after the incident, Kallie wrote in a Facebook post that the family was "taking it day by day" after receiving MRI results that left them feeling "shattered." Although they did try to wean Levi off sedation, he wasn't able to handle it and on June 2, 2024, Kallie announced that "after several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations with the world's best neurologists & millions of prayers," the family knew it was "time." 'Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this,' she wrote then. 'We prayed those things were him defying odds & proving to us that he wanted to stay here but we see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go." On the one-month anniversary of Levi's death, Kallie — who is also mom to daughters Steeley and Brae Milo — reflected on her love for her son and shared some advice for other parents. 'Don't just take your kids to do fun things, do those fun things WITH them! Get in the pool, get on the swing, go down the slide, run through the sprinklers, sled down the hill etc. You get the idea!' she wrote while encouraging families to get professional photos taken more often. 'Kids grow way too fast and things are always changing,' she wrote. 'I wanted to wait until I lost the baby weight & this and that and now the only really good pics I have are from Brae's newborn session and his dad wasn't able to be there. I wish I had done some this spring.' Another important lesson? 'Everything and I mean everything is fixable and replaceable, so don't make mountains out of molehills,' she wrote. 'I have a throw pillow on my couch with little slits of when Levi got ahold of scissors, little Easter bunny stamps on my wall in the play room,' she continued. 'I realize now I definitely over reacted & I could have talked to him about it without being mad and frustrated.'

Kallie ended that post with gratitude for her son. 'Thanks for being my adventure buddy Levi & for teaching me so much!' she wrote. 'I miss & love you!' In a separate post days after Levi died, Kallie wrote candidly about her grief and how she would "lose sleep over this for eternity." "1. I am not a perfect mom but I am a good mom. 2. My little boy loved me with all he had. 3. Never say never because it only takes seconds and it can happen to you too," she wrote. "I pray anyone who judges me or has hurtful words to say never finds themself on the receiving end of a nightmare like this." Read the original article on People
