Dr. Levine wasn't just an amazing doctor with impeccable diagnostic skills he was an even better human being. His caring and love of others is unmatched. He was funny and made the visits enjoyable and the laughter unforgettable. We miss him so much and still shed tears missing him today.

Just stopping by to let you know that you are continued to be thought about and still at the top of my list for the best primary care doctor a person could ever have had. I just spoke about you last week to a complete stranger, who was a patient of mine. We were talking about how hard it is to find a doctor that gets you, that cares and that you trust. I told her about you. :-) Your legacy continues and I remain grateful to have been your patient.

Dr Levine was and always will be our favorite doctor. We still haven´t found anyone that comes close to who he was. You knew he loved being a doctor. It was no effort - his healing ways were just natural for him. He was doing what he loved. We still talk about him all the time. We had some crazy medical issues & it´s so fun for us to sit back & laugh at some of those office visits. But my favorite one will always be when I was having my 3rd baby we hadn´t found out the sex yet & really hadn´t come up with any names. The day I went into labor we called his office to let him know. Dr Levine came into the delivery room right after I delivered my son. He asked what we named him & my husband looked at us & said `how about Kenneth after you Dr Levine?´ He lit right up & was so excited. Our Kenny ended up being one of his favorite patients and I´m sure he´s very proud how he´s turned out.
We miss you Dr Levine. You will always be in our hearts. Sending love & prayers to his family he left behind.

Dr Levine was our family Dr for 24 yrs. Though all this time has pasted I still say Dr Levine said do it this way. He was so knowable and so caring. He took care of My David who was my first husband. Davis passed in 1990 but Dr Levine always called him My David with such care. I will never forget the most amazing and caring Dr. I ever knew. R.I.P my Dr and my friend.

I worked for Kenny when he first started his practice in Mesa and was his first back office assistant. I worked for him and Suzy for 5 years. He was a great Dr., his patients just loved him and so did I.
I was totally surprised and shocked to see he had passed.
He is and will be missed.

I was cleaning out some old emails and found my email to myself from the day I learned Dr. Levine died. I just went numb. He had been the best doctor for my whole family since 1989. We even named our youngest son after him. And Kenny turned 30 last year. My husband and I have spent these past 10 years looking for a new doctor - to try and replace him. Sadly it's just not happening. I don't know if it's because I'm afraid if I find another doctor as special as him that he too will leave us all too soon. So we go from doctor to doctor - looking for someone that comes close. Someone that has that connection to his patients that Dr. Levine so famously had. And how do you replace someone like Dr. Levine? :-) You can't - he saved my husbands life once and was there for us when life threw us some really bad curves. He helped us pick up the pieces and move on. Taking one day at a time. Every time one of us gets sick we always say - if Dr. Levine was here he'd have us fixed up in no time. Yes Dr. Levine - we will always miss you. And we keep your beautiful family in our prayers. You will always live on in our hearts.

Dr Levine was my friend. He also saved my life in 1993. We last spoke in May of 2000. I randomly Googled him after having a dream that we had chatted on the phone. I was completely shocked by his passing. He was a caring, compassionate Dr and human. My sincere condolences to his family, whom he loved immensely.

Many thanks to everyone who has left a message for you on this site. We just got back from a wonderful birthday trip with our family, thanks to you, and a new Rod of Asclepius tat in memory of you, my love. It's on my wrist. You might not have approved :) We celebrated Rosh Hashana at Disney. Is that wrong?? You would have loved it! Thank you for continuing to take care of us. I start nursing school (and working... new job) tomorrow. I actually passed the test! I am petrified. But am going to try to do this. I am still trying to make you proud of me. Everything I do, I still do for you. We miss you so much.

Dear Dr. Levine, I was an admissions rep at Mesa General Hospital when you first arrived there. I vividly recall my first personal appointment with you and seeing only a few patient charts on the shelves of the steel files in your front office. When I left the hospital a few years later, there were rows and rows of files and charts. Those of us who were blessed to have you as our physician truly know why -- you gave of yourself one thousand percent in understanding and caring about us as human beings and not case numbers. Over the years, I searched for a D.O. to replace you and have been unsuccessful. I have missed you for a long time, yet your spirit and goodness has remained with me, and I am grateful. Your words of wisdom and hugs have been treasured gifts.You are gone but never forgotten. With deepest sympathy to your family. Dorothy B. (Estes) Janiak,Fort Collins,CO

I had the pleasure of working with Kenny as a medical student and intern at Mesa General Hospital in 1985. Kenny enticed me to do a chemical dependency rotation. It was fantastic (and fun!). That experience was a part of my decision to become a psychiatrist. I use what he taught me daily. Thank you!

Doc Levine, you were the most wonderful, patient,kind and understanding human being and you are sorely missed. No one will ever be able to walk in your shoes. I am sure that everyone whose life you touched some how or in some way is still grief stricken as am I. I was so blessed to have known you these last 6 years. You were the best! Debbie Lavo

Doc, we miss you terribly! You helped my children and me through the worst of times. I remember when you told me to quit holding back the tears and let myself grieve the losses I have endured over the years. Well, your loss was the one that brought forth a flood of tears! You have touched so many lives in such a caring and sincere way. We are blessed and our lives much richer for having known you as a friend and doctor. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family....

My sincerest sympathy to Dr. Levine's family and friends.
Doctor Levine was my doctor through adolescence and into adulthood. He helped me as a scared teenager get through some difficult times and also saw me through the best of times when he was the physician for each of my 4 children. On of the hardest parts of moving away from Arizona was leaving a physician who I'd known and trusted so completely. He truly cared about the patients he treated and it showed! There are many exceptional physicians in the world but I have never found one that could top Dr. Levine. He left his mark on many lives and will never be forgotten.
Rest well Doc.
Sincerely,
Michelle (Estes) Radtke

Doc I was so sad to hear of your passing.. I felt like I couldn't breathe for several minutes... it was 8 years ago that you changed my life forever, probably saved it! I am still so lost without you, I don't even know what to do or where to turn.. what kills me the most is that I lost the only two people in this world who ever truly understood me completely.. I remember you and my mom being amazed that you were born the very same day 7/21/51 and you called yourselves twin spirits because you had so much in common! How is it that God took you both from me within two months of eachother? You were both so young! I wanted to call my mom so badly when I heard of your death, so badly that I picked up the phone and dialed her number and then realized she was already gone too.. the only thing that keeps me going these days is knowing that I have both of you to watch over me... I really wish I had gotten to say goodbye! I feel so much for your wife and children as I know what my family is going through right now losing my mom.. I promise to keep them in my prayers each and every day! I love you forever! You are an amazing man and you had an incredible impact on my life!

I only knew you for a short period of time, however your love for your beautiful wife Kathi was what I will always remember. You opened her heart in a way I have never seen, as Tom Hanks says " I had it perfect for a short while". That is how Kathi described her life with you and the true happiness you both shared and the memories you created will live on forever. You will be missed!! My hugs to Kathi, Chelsea, and Raven.

Dr. Levine - there are not words to express my sadness at losing you. For the last 5 or 6 years, you have been not just my doctor, but my friend and my confidant. Knowing that you were there, no matter the time, the reason, or the circumstances going on in your own life, gave me such comfort. You truly changed my life, and I would not be the woman I am today had I not known you. That I moved away just days prior to your passing and couldn't return to pay my respects will be one of my greatest regrets, but I know that you are still paying attention (as you always have) and I trust that I will continue to flourish because of all you did for me. Your compassion for others, especially when everyone else had given up on them, was truly phenomenal. Dr. Levine, Uncle Kenny - thank you. The world is a little darker for no longer having you in it, but those of us that you touched will burn brighter, just because of you.

Dear Susie and Sarah, I am certain you do not remember me but I remember each of you...I worked for Drs. Levine/Rosenblatt which was one of my most pleasant positions for only a short time since I was hired to more or less strengthen a budding Practice.
Susie, I remember how much you had a part in the Practice always behind the scenes but still there in encouragement and support...Sarah, no father was ever more proud of any daughter than he was with you. I hope each of you can recall the pleasantries of the lives you shared together and bring those blessings with you as you continue in your plans for the future.We wish God's love to enfold you and keep you strong and safe.
Shalom! Linda/Henry Desenberg

There are so many wonderful things to say about you doc but I doubt there is enough space to fill in every detail and every thing you did to inspire and help. You were a man of your word, always someone I could count on to trust and care. You left too soon as you were one of those rare people who could touch a person's life forever and my life will always be touched by your wisdom. You believed in me when very few did and you always somehow managed to restore my hope. I will never forget your kind words and I am so sorry that you never got the chance to see me get better but somehow I know you are silently watching. You were not only my doc but someone who had this magic quality to inspire when it seemed like everything was gone. I always looked forward to my appointments as I knew that you would say something profound to help me keep my head above water. I will never forget those kind words and I know in my heart that when I do get better it will be because you gave me the hope to keep going. I miss knowing that you will not be here to share what is to come but I there will always be a place in my heart reserved just for you. I miss you doc!

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

We will always remember the moments we shared as neighbors in "The Lakes". Calling us lifelong friends is an understatement. We became family. Our girls were Kenny's cheer team as he prepared for Iron Man. He was Heidi's cheer team as she struggled with MS and then Meningitis. The early mornings that Gerald and Kenny spent in the Levine garage as they shared stories, memories, and advise. All so priceless. As we fondly called our brother, Dr. Kenny, we will truly miss you. He was truly a blessing to our family! Never to be forgotten!
May the Lord bless and keep your family during this time. May HE provide you all with his love, peace, healing, strength, and patience.
Love and More,
