Henry LeVert Obituary
He was born May 1, 1938 to the late Charles Henry and Rossie Ingram LeVert in Brookwood, Alabama and grew up surrounded by love of his mother and siblings. He carried this love with him through his life and passed it on to his daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His dedication to his loved ones was unparalleled, as he selflessly put their needs above his own.
His sense of humor was a beacon of light in any room he entered. His quick wit and playful spirit brought joy to all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
In his professional life, he was known for his hard work and integrity. He approached his work with dedication and passion. This was carried on from his tenure at Selma National Bank, First Alabama Bank and Regions into his ministry work that started after his retirement. He responded to the call to preach and pastored at Ephesus Baptist Church in Sprott for 14 years and then served at Carlowville Baptist Church.
