After the accident, the rodeo community rallied around Wright and his family offering them support. As part of a celebration of Levi's life, Wright and his wife Kallie share a video (
see below) as well as a touching obituary for their son. They said that Levi was the light of their lives.They wrote, "Levi was exceptionally thoughtful and considerate for his age, he was constantly thinking of others. His heart was pure, tender and oversized. Levi loved his big sister, Steeley, and playing with her was one of his greatest joys. They were instant best friends. The verdict was still partially out on his baby brother, Brae, but Levi often asked to 'hold baby.'"
They continued, "Levi was a die-hard Grandma's boy, always asking to go to Gamma's house. He enjoyed going to church with Grandma and was a Sunbeam for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Levi had mastered his colors, counting to 7 and early heavy equipment operation as Dad's right-hand man. His Dad was who he looked up to most; he wanted to be just like him and was well on his way. He had a passion for tractors, excavators, skid steers and all heavy equipment, even his music choice followed suit-he was always asking to play Big Green Tractor and The Excavator Song."

They also added, "Like many 3 year old boys, he had a growing love for dinosaurs. 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."
