Leviathan Gentry Obituary

Visit the Newcomer Cremations, Funerals, & Receptions - North Dayton Chapel website to view the full obituary.

Leviathan Stephen-Ray Gentry, a bright light in the lives of all who knew him, was born on June 24, 2011, and departed this world far too soon on October 15, 2025. He touched the hearts of many with his kind and sensitive nature, his loving and generous spirit, and his remarkable talent and strength.

Levi had a passion for music that was as boundless as his joyful spirit. He enjoyed sharing his love of music whether he was at home or in the car. His love for music was infectious; he found great joy in belting out tunes inspired by his favorite artists, most notably Freddie Mercury and the iconic band Queen, as well as the vibrant melodies of the show Hamilton. Levi often channeled his inner comedian, making those around him laugh with his witty remarks and comedic timing, drawing inspiration from his beloved comedians, Fluffy and Bert "The Machine."

An aspiring artist, he expressed his creativity through painting, crafting stunning works that resembled intricate stained glass. His imaginative soul found its stage when he took on the role of Pugsley in The Addams Family musical, where he captivated audiences with his presence and talent.

Levi and his family were members of Liberation Church, and he enjoyed the many friendships he made with the other kids there.

Levi is survived by his devoted parents, Heather and Jeremiah, who lovingly nurtured his passions and ambitions. He leaves behind his cherished siblings, Gabriel, Elijah, and Jesse James, who will carry his spirit within their hearts. His loving grandparents, Melissa & Robert Stephen and Kenneth Ray and Linda, will hold onto the beautiful memories they created together. Additionally, he is survived by many caring aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends whose lives were enriched by knowing such a compassionate and talented young soul.

He may have departed from this earth too early, but the imprint of his kindness, laughter, and creativity will forever resonate in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. Leviathan Stephen-Ray Gentry will be remembered as a vibrant spirit who shared joy, love, and artistry with the world around him.

Family and friends are welcome to gather and visit with family from 10:00am to 11:00am on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at Liberation Church, 696 N Fairfield, Road, in Beavercreek, Ohio, with Levi's Celebration of Life service starting at 11:00am. In lieu of flowers, donations in Levi's memory may be made to Dayton Children's Hospital or to the Epilepsy Foundation.

A service for Levi will also be held in Arizona at a later date.
