Levi is survived by his parents, Kevin and Bonnie, his fiancée Katie Johnson, brothers Amos, Caleb and Jordan, sisters LeAnne and Abby, niece Makayla, nephews Sullivan and Liam Levi, grandparents Carl and Betty Walker, and many more aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who love Levi and are still beLiEVIng.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Kelly family. I can't imagine the heartache you all must be feeling, but I know the great memories of Levi (and Noah, of course as well) will flood your hearts and your minds forever. Those memories are what will keep you going day to day, and let you know how proud you can be of having such an AMAZING family and having such AMAZING sons, who will be missed deeply. I wasn't so close to Levi, but I am close to Jordan. Jordan, I love you and I'm here for you. Cherish the memories you have with your best friend and brother, for you are so lucky and honored to have shared so much of your life with him. What a beautiful life he had. Rest in peace Levi! God bless you all!

Dearest Kelly family: I only met Levi and Katie once, at a family get-together. I met them through my niece, Allison Ruhmann. I am grateful I got to see his smile that one time, and that I got to meet the love of his life. May God bless you, and Katie, through this difficult time. I see that many, many prayers are bestowed upon your family. Please know that our family is added to that list. Fondly, The Peeles (NM)

Levi, having you in my class at WHS was such a pleasure for me. I couldn't think of a kinder, funnier, more sweet young man, and I was so sorry to hear of your passing after such a lengthy and difficult, yet courageous battle. RIP, Levi, and know your friends and loved ones will keep near to their hearts your warm, friendly smile and your ever cheerful laugh. Ms.Antypas

Levi you will be list but never forgotten you have impacted my life just as much as many others lives. Such a strong, sweet, kind, respectful young man. We will only dwel on the memories we had with you. Its a shame i never got a chance to learn how to snow board from you. You have opened my eyes to many things in life. My graduation will be dedicated to you. And my thoughts and prayers go out to you, family, and close friends. You always brought a smile to my face seeing everyone around you smiling. Never thought someone so special would be gone so quick. Your up there with your brother i know looking down looking out for everyone you have touched. We will all be united one day. What you have tought me is to never take life for granted. You've touched many hearts and you there will always be a place in mine for you. Love ya Levi. Sleep with the angels.

You may have gone but your memories have stayed among many people. You were so strong and have really made a impact on my life as well as many others. You were going to tech me how to snow board and ride the slopes,you always cared for many. I wanted to learn from you and i wish i had that chance. But you have tought me many values to life and my graduation will be dedicated to you. You are in my prayers along with your family and friends. I ask everyday why, why this happened to a wonderful guy like you. I will only dwel on the memories we had together. I will miss you dearly. We will all be gathered together one of these days but for now you are up there with your brother. Things will never be the same. We all love and miss you.

To the Kelly Family and Friends of Levi~
My heartfelt sympathies. I had all the boys in my PE class at RMS, and they all lit up the room with their smiles, individual personalities and talents. I cannot express how this saddens us all. Levi was a gem! I understand he fought courageously and lovingly. We were so lucky to know him! God Bless you and yours,

Bonnie and Kevin and Katie- There are no words to express my sadness. Levi was an amazing young man with a heart of gold. His smile lit up a room and his love for his family and god were larger than life. He was my hero and my friend. And this year, Relay for Life will take on another meaning for me. I know that Levi will be with you forever, watching from heaven. I hope that there is some peace in that. His battle with cancer is over and there is no more pain. He loved you all very much and he will be missed.

Although you are gone...you will never be forgotten. You touched so many lives during your short time on this earth. So many people now know the true meaning of love and strength because of you. We will never be the same without you here...but all the unforgettable memories will keep a smile on our faces.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Kelly Family, Katie Johnson and all of Levi's closest friends....he will always be watching over you all!
