Two weeks after a terrible accident left him brain dead, the three-year-old son of a well-known rodeo star tragically died.
In Beaver County, Utah, some 67 miles from Cedar City, Levi Wright, the son of rodeo legend Spencer Wright, almost perished after he crashed his toy tractor into a river.
After putting him on life support, his mother, Kallie, begged followers to pray for his recovery after making frantic attempts to save him. A close family friend confirmed the baby boy’s death on June 2 in a heartbreaking Facebook post on Monday.
In her post, Mindy Sue Clark expressed: “The most perfect three-year-old there ever was. So perfect we didn’t get to keep him. This baby boy moved mountains the last 12 days. He brought so many people together. In a world so dark, we got to see light at the hands of a child. He’s everything his mom and dad could’ve wanted him to be.”
Clark also shared how challenging the last 12 days had been since hearing the initial news.
She elaborated: “From the moment my phone rang the night of his accident, to last night receiving the message that he had to go. I don’t want to focus on the bad or sad, even though it feels like someone ripped my heart out and squeezed it right in front of me.”
She expressed deep gratitude to the community that came together in solidarity during Levi’s time in the hospital. She remarked: “Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, surrounded our best little buddy, lifted him up in prayer, and threw their loving arms around Levi and his family. We’ve never seen or experienced anything like it. I don’t know that we will ever be able to process it fully.”
While the grieving mother has not shared any updates about Levi’s passing, she wrote a profoundly emotional post on Saturday, describing her intentions to cherish her final moments with her son. She wrote: “Here soon I’ll climb into bed with my baby and hold him as he falls asleep for the last time on this earth.”
