The superstar’s 3-year-old son dies after tragic river accident
Tragedy Strikes Rodeo Star Spencer Wright’s Family
Renowned rodeo cowboy Spencer Wright is mourning the heartbreaking loss of his three-year-old son, Levi Wright, following a devastating accident near the family’s Utah home.
Accident and Rescue
Levi had accidentally driven a toy tractor into a river, where he was carried about a mile downstream before being found unconscious by local police. He was rushed to a hospital in Salt Lake City with a severe brain injury.
Initial Signs of Hope
Doctors initially declared Levi brain dead, but his mother, Kallie Wright, shared brief moments of improvement that gave the family hope. “LEVI AWARENESS!” she posted on Facebook, describing her son as “really tough.”
MRI Results Bring Pain
That hope was soon tempered by difficult news. An MRI revealed little chance of recovery. “It’s just pictures, but we are broken,” Kallie wrote, adding that Levi’s progress in the coming days would determine everything.
Family’s Agonizing Decision
After days of prayer, sleepless nights, and consultations with neurologists, the Wrights faced the unthinkable. On June 2, Kallie shared that Levi had shown just enough to give them time to say goodbye, but ultimately they made the painful decision to remove him from life support.
Passing and Tribute
Family friend Mindy Sue Clark confirmed Levi’s death the following day. She described the last two weeks as “so hard” but also full of miracles, calling Levi “the most amazing three-year-old I’ve ever met.”
Remembering Levi’s Light
Clark wrote that Levi brought people together and “introduced light into a very dark planet.” She emphasized his impact on countless lives in just 12 short days of fighting.
