In a time of great sadness, Spencer Wright is leaning on memories of his late son Levi’s humor.
Rodeo champion spoke at his 3-year-old son’s home funeral service on June 11, choosing to share some stories about the boy that made the participants laugh. Spencer remembered his firstborn son as a “funny kid” and said everyone was “good to Levi.”
During his brief comments, the rodeo champion also thanked everyone for their support. At the start of the ceremony, he stood next to his wife, Kallie, and held back tears as she spoke about their son. At one point, she called Levi “as pure and tender as they come” and said it was impossible to stay mad at him.
“His laugh will always be my favorite sound,” said the grieving mother.
Concluding her comments, Kallie said, “We are anxiously awaiting the day when we can see you again.”
Kallie had been sharing public updates about her son since he was in an accident on his electric toy tractor near a creek in late May. Levi was subsequently hospitalized for two weeks before his untimely death on June 2.
“His father was the one he admired most” his obituary says. “He wanted to be like him and he was on the right path.”
Days after Levi’s death, the mother of three reflected on the accident that took his son’s life and explained how it all unfolded.
“Unless you’ve been to my house, it’s hard to imagine how something like this could happen. There is a creek that runs through our 24 acre property and separates our house from Grandma and Grandpa, across that creek is a road made of concrete. This is how we get to their house safely most days as sometimes our dirt road is a Nascar race track My kids have ridden their bikes, driven on rides and even walked this way a million times. short period during the year and can change overnight,” she wrote in Facebook. “Levi didn’t do anything he hadn’t done before, but this time the water was at its peak and strong enough to push his tractor off the road and into the creek as he passed by. He asked me to ride his tractor and I explained that the Grandma wasn’t home, he wasn’t supposed to drive by the creek or the road and just walk around the house. As he drove away, I ran back to the house.
Kallie continued, “At that point, he was just my responsibility. Whether I went back to check on my sleeping baby, changed clothes, washed a bottle, or put away lunch, I honestly don’t know. more important than following him that day. Although I firmly believe that our stories were written long before we arrived on this earth and that our Lord will take us when he is ready, I will lose sleep over this for all eternity, but with this I know. 3 things to be true: 1. I’m not a perfect mother, but I am a good mother. 2. My son loved me with everything he had. . I pray that anyone who judges me or has hurtful words to say never finds themselves the victim of a nightmare like this.
