He enjoyed dancing (one of the very best!) playing Bingo, cards, Cripple Creek, working in his yard, and morning coffee with his friends. He especially loved spending time with his family. He was extremely generous and giving. If it was his to give, then it was yours.He is preceded in death by his parents, Bentura and Eufelia; brothers, Louis and Ben; sister, Wilma; granddaughter, Jennifer; and grandson, Dwayne.Levi is survived by his wife, Joan of sixty-five years; son, Randy (Kim); and daughters, Debbie (Henry), and Annette (Robert); grandchildren, Jason (Kelly), Brandon (Krista), Amber, Jessica (Ronald), Anthony, Jacob, and Michael; great grandchildren, Jackson, Isabella, Aubreyanna, Levi, Sierra, Jayda, Carter, Zane, and Emma; siblings, Mercy (Art) Johnson, Juanita (Tom) Abeyta, and Ernest Roybal; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.
