Braun Wilan Levi

August 9, 2006 - May 4, 2025 Braun Levi, 18, of Pacific Palisades, California, passed away on May 4, 2025, leaving behind a grieving community, a legacy of excellence and kindness, and a life lived with an extraordinary heart. He was one in a million and will be remembered as a Scholar, Athlete, and Source of Light to All Who Knew Him
A senior at Loyola High School of Los Angeles, Braun was set to graduate summa cum laude this May. He was due to attend the University of Virginia this Fall. The life ahead of him promised so much, built on years of dedication, drive, and character.
He was an exceptional student as well as a leader who was involved in Student Council, a senior Big Brother, a Kairos retreat leader, volleyball team manager and a friend whose compassion and quick wit left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
One of the most decorated student athletes ever to compete for Loyola, Braun was a team captain and a four-year Varsity starter having just won his 4th consecutive Mission League doubles championship on April 29th. Braun's talent on the court was matched only by his sportsmanship and leadership off the court.
Braun is best remembered for who he was - fun loving, generous, mischievous, deeply kind, and endlessly curious. With confidence and authenticity, he treated everyone with warmth and humility. His presence lit up every room he entered, and his boundless energy infected friends within Loyola and beyond.
Braun is survived by his parents, Dr. Daniel and Jennifer Levi, and his sister Adelle Levi, a sophomore at the University of North Carolina. In addition, he leaves behind his maternal grandparents, Barbara and Willard Saltzgiver, and his paternal grandmother Barbara Levi; his aunts, Sharon Levi Hughes (Jason) and Lindsey Pourreza (Keyvan); and cousins, Jack and Tyler Hughes and Gavin and Chloe Pourreza. His memory lives on in their hearts, and in the hearts of countless classmates, teachers, teammates, and friends.
