I was so sorry to hear about Levon's accident. The last time I saw Lee was at a get together at the picnic area of the farm maybe 5 years ago. I remember him too, when he was younger, running around and playing on the farm with the other kids, and these memories make me smile. He was such a bright lad. Cousin Jimmy, my condolences go to you and your family in this very difficult time.

Dear family and friends of Levon,
I knew Levon only through news and anecdotes recounted to me from time to time by my mother, Levon’s great aunt, Ruth Olson. Levon was part of 'family news from Middletown'. Specifically he was always described as lovable, talented and having a zest for life.
I extend my deepest sympathy to all who love Levon and are grieving the loss of him.

To the Lee Family,



I never had the pleasure of meeting your lovely son, Lee, but heard about him thru Amie Greene, a childhood friend of his. Unfortunately, I know all too well the pain of losing a love one, and how precious life is. I assure you God had something spectacular in mind when he took your precious Lee home, too soon. From my family to yours, may God bless you and keep your love ones safe and sound.

I don't ever recall meeting my second cousin, Levon, but if I did it was when he was a little boy. However, it just takes my breath away to think of such a beautiful young man, with his whole life in front of him, to be taken away like this at such a young age. The Olson family in L.A. would like to offer our deepest sympathy to his family and to all those who loved him. Vaya con Dios, Levon.

Dear Welling Family:



I met Levon many years ago when my brother Kurt and I visited aunt Mitzi and uncle John's farm on our way back from a trip through the south. I remember him as a friendly, golden-haired boy. So sad to hear about this tragedy. Please know that your far-flung relatives in Muskegon, San Francisco, and Philadelphia are deeply saddened for your loss.

Love,

Ingrid Olson & family (Aunt Ruth's daughter)
