Levi was born in Conroe, Texas, moved to Salt Lick, Kentucky at the age of three years old, and has lived in Owingsville for the last eight years, however, always considered Salt Lick his home.  His greatest memories were during his childhood years in Salt Lick, remembering the bond he and his brothers developed, which was unbreakable, as well as the many years of volunteering at St Joseph Hospital in Mt Sterling. He was of the Jehovah Witness belief, graduate of Bath County High School, class of 2016, and a former security guard for Allied-Universal.  Levi was a talented yet simple, uncomplicated, logical, humble, and meek young man who always found the best in every situation. He was looked up to by his younger siblings and he always, under any circumstance, put others’ needs and feelings before his own, of which he held great pride in. He played baritone in his middle school and high school years, and enjoyed video games and being in nature.  He will be dearly missed and never forgotten by all who knew him.
