Levi Stokes Obituary

Levi Hudson Stokes

10-4-80 to 3-20-21

Levi left this world March 20, 2021 after giving us 40 profound years. He was born, a tiny premie, on opening day of duck season, in Reno, Nevada, where he spent most of his adult life, but he had a special place in his heart for Carson Valley. Levi made a multitude of friends in both places, and gave his best to each and every one.

Rest In Peace, my son, my first born, and light of my life: An amazingly handsome, broad shouldered man, strong as an ox with an enormous heart, and, yet, Levi had no idea how cool he was. He was genuine, humble and kind.

A man so sensitive and serving, never failing to give up on anyone no matter the circumstances, and never a harsh word about them.

Levi was a true artist & skilled craftsman & builder, talented in many trades among woodworking, carpentry, welding & mechanics. He just had an uncanny knack. He attended MMI in Phoenix, Arizona, and forever had a love of motorcycles. And he could ride! Absolutely NO fear.

Levi loved me and never hesitated to tell me. Family and friends were everything. He leaves behind a saddened & heart broken crowd of those who were lucky to be a part of his life. We will miss his contagious laugh and beautiful smile. I have been left with a huge hole in my heart, an emptiness beyond repair. I will miss you, Levi, forever.

Plans for family and friends are being made to come together for the Celebration of Levi's Life on August 22, 2021. We know that Levi was deeply loved by many and we welcome those of you to join us. Please contact the family for details. We are requesting that anyone attending bring a favorite picture and/or story to share.

Levi was truly like a brother to me. A sweet man with such a kind soul. And funny...when together we always ended up guffawing about something. I miss you, Levi
