"Levi had mastered his colors, counting to 7 and early heavy equipment operation as Dad’s right hand man," the obituary stated. "His Dad was who he looked up to most; he wanted to be just like him and was well on his way."
The obituary also noted that Levi loved dinosaurs and horses.
"He recently convinced himself he was a TRex and had begun roaring at people when he was too shy to speak to them. He was rarely seen without his cowboy hat and boots. He had just acquired his own horse and was beginning to enjoy family horse rides," the obituary continued.
According to Good Morning America, Levi's dad, Spencer Wright, is a rodeo star. In 2023, he ranked No. 35 in the world, according to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.
After Levi's accident, his mom, Kallie, continued to post updates on Facebook.
After his death, she shared more information about the accident. She explained that it might be hard to understand how such an accident could occur, and noted that "Levi did not do anything he hasn't done before, but this time the water was at its peak & strong enough to push his tractor off the road into the creek as he drove through."
"Although I'm a firm believer that our stories are written long before we reach this earth & that our Lord will take us when he's ready, I will lose sleep over this for eternity," she continued in the post.
She also added: "I pray anyone who judges me or has hurtful words to say never finds themself on the receiving end of a nightmare like this."
Family friend Mindy Sue Clark told People that Levi "was the absolute best little boy."
"It's going to be tough navigating life without him," Mindy added.
