Levi Wright's legacy will live on through his family.
Rodeo star Spencer Wright and his wife Kallie Wright recently shared their most cherished moments with their 3-year-old son—who died on June 2 from injuries sustained in a toy tractor accident—to honor his memory at his funeral service.
Describing his son as "the funniest kid," Spencer remembered how Levi loved tractors, often making a beeline to its section whenever the family was at a toy store.
"'Dad, can I look at the tractors?'" he recounted during Levi's June 11 funeral, before quipping to guests how usually "that means I'm bringing a tractor home."
Sepncer—who also shares daughter Steeley, 5, and son Brae, 10 months, with Kallie—continued with a chuckle, "I'd usually have to pry it out of his hands."
Spencer also noted that Levi had a big sense of humor, playing pranks in the public to embarrass his parents. Still, Kallie said Levi was "impossible to get mad at."
"He was as pure and tender as they come," she shared in a speech of her own. "He had always been shy, but once he could talk, he wasn't afraid to say how he felt."
Kallie, too, acknowledged Levi's love of tractors that noted that "one of his favorite places" was with his dad whenever the family needed to work on their ranch.
"If Spencer was digging or building something," she recalled, "Levi was always right there on dad's knee."
Levi was hospitalized in critical condition May 21 after accidentally driving his toy tractor into a Utah river. He was removed from life support nearly two weeks later.
"Levi loved his big sister, Steeley, and playing with her was one of his greatest joys," read his obituary published by Southern Utah Mortuary. "They were instant best friends. The verdict was still partially out on his baby brother, Brae, but Levi often asked to 'hold baby.'"
"Levi's family would like to extend a warm thank you to the volunteers and first responders that participated in his search and rescue," the tribute added, "as well as the attentive and compassionate staff at Primary Children's Hospital."

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.
