What a great guy. Anyone who barely knew him or knew him well felt like he was a lifetime friend because he made you feel that way. Saw him coach his first game at McCune, KS.

John was an absolutely quality person that always had a smile on his face. Met John my freshman year at Pittsburgh State and marveled at his competitiveness. He was always a true leader. We renewed our friendship when he was at KU and retained it over the years. My condolences to his family and many friends. He was a true gentleman.

Sincerest condolences to The Levra Family! I was one of the managers of the football team at Washington High School when Coach Levra was Head Coach and AD. He was loved and respected by all the players and coaches and a huge influence on the players he coached. John will forever be remembered as a great friend, mentor and coach! RIP John
