Rodeo star Spencer Wright and his wife Kallie Wright are weathering a tragedy.

Days after their 3-year-old son Levi Wright passed away from injuries sustained during a toy tractor accident, the couple are "trying to navigate what life is going to look like" following their devastating loss, according to a close family friend.

"They are very adamant about wanting to make sure that his name doesn't die," Mindy Sue Clark told People in an interview published June 5, "and that they can continue to carry things forward."

She said the family is considering starting a charitable foundation to continue Levi's legacy "once the dust settles as much as it can for losing a child."

"The reach that our little guy has had, I can't even put it into words," remarked Mindy, who grew up barrel racing with Levi's mom. "I have zero words for every day when we wake up and people are messaging us from New Zealand and Australia and then our friends in Uganda. It's crazy."

Noting how Levi's story has "made such an impact on millions of people," she continued. "It literally has been a movement."

According to the Beaver County Sheriff's Office, first responders responded on May 21 to a call about a child who drove their toy tractor into a Utah river. Authorities said life-saving measures we were "administered on the scene" before the child was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. 

On June 2, Kallie—who also shares daughter Steeley, 5, and son Brae, 9 months, with Spencer—shared that Levi was being taken off life support. He passed away the following day.

"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 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."

Describing Levi as a "thoughtful & considerate" child, Kallie added, "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! We will miss him every second of every day down here but feel without unwavering doubt this is the best thing we can do for him!"
