Levi was a great friend to many and would give you the shirt off his back if it
meant he could help you. Levi loved his family and his friends and paid special
attention to his niece and nephew Alaya and Keaton. Levi loved to paint, play
DND with his friends, listen to music, and enjoyed reading books by Stephen
King. Levi was a proud graduate of 2018 at Vandalia Community High School,
during this time he played the saxophone and loved to participate in band with
his friends. After high school Levi got his Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)
license and had a passion for working with the elderly. Levi was known for his
kindness and dedication towards things he believed in and he will be greatly
missed by many.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to suicide prevention in honor of
Levi’s memory.
