Levi was a good man. He was very kind and went out of his way to help people. I miss our conversations about science fiction, literature , mythology, travel, and the great outdoors. I remembered how Levi celebrated towel day. I hadn’t read the whole hitchhikers guide series. I promised him I would. I now read the series to my children, and have some of the same discussions I used to have with Levi. Our discussions about time made a bit more sense after reading the series.
We went into tangential discussions about mythology with his dogs’ names. I found it interesting he named a dog after a god of chaos and he said the dog’s personality matched the name. I miss his sense of humor and his laugh. He always lit up a room. I’m thankful to have someone as great as Levi for a friend for 10 years. I miss his companionship. The world would be a better place if there was more people like Levi in it. He left too soon.

Levi was one of the most polite well mannered students I had on my school bus. He is gone to soon - way to soon!

Levi graduated with my son Drew Wint. I enjoyed him at school sports and on the farm in Dexter. He always made me smile with him. I love him like my own son. I will always remember him as a friend and member of my own family. I'll never forget. Dave Wint
