One year following the tragic drowning of Spencer Wright’s 3-year-old son in a Utah river, his mother pondered their final moments together. Spencer is a known saddle bronc champion.
“A year ago today, we held you as you took your last breaths,” wrote Kallie Wright on June 2 in an Instagram post. The post included a picture of Kallie and her husband with their son Levi in his hospital bed.
The child was taken off life support last year, nearly two weeks after he accidentally drove his toy tractor into the river while playing at home in May 2024.
Following his death, the family launched 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 Levi Wright Memorial Barrel Race is the group’s next organized event.

The toddler’s father is ranked No. 40 in the world in saddle bronc riding. His grandfather, Bill Wright, is in the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. Spencer and his three brothers made history in 2014 when all four qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He ultimately won the championship.
The family was the subject of the book “The Last Cowboys” and has been featured on an episode of “60 Minutes.”
