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.)
Kallie also offered an update on her son’s condition hours before his June 2024 death.
“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!”
