Two weeks after Levi Wright, the 3-year-old son of rodeo star Spencer Wright, unintentionally drove his toy tractor into a river, a dear family friend announced his passing.

The son of rodeo star Spencer Wright and Kallie Wright died on June 2. The news of Levi's death was confirmed on June 3 on social media by a dear friend of the family.

"I cannot even begin to explain how hard the last two weeks have been," Mindy Sue Clark stated on June 3 via Facebook. "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 continued to commend the community who gathered in support the family, stating, "I want to focus on the many miracles we all got to bear witness to in those 12 days."

"The response Levi's story got was absolutely incredible," she added. "How many people have told us our names were permanently in their social media search bars waiting for updates. 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."

Following the accident on May 21, the Beaver County Sheriff's Office disclosed that rescue personnel located the toddler promptly and initiated critical medical interventions at the scene. Levi was subsequently transferred to a nearby hospital and then airlifted to a specialized children's hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.

On June 2, Levi's mother shared a heartbreaking updating that her son will be taken off of life support.

"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," she wrote in a post on Facebook. "Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this. 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."

Kallie continued: "I told you my baby was thoughtful & considerate, I truly believe he did that for us. During this time he brought out humanity across the nation, he dropped so many to their knees & reminded them what truly matters in this world."
