Story

Levi loved the outdoors, building LEGOs, bike races, fortnight, his sisters and his faithful dog Willow. He loved to dance and perform with Mānava o Polynesia. He loved performing, especially when friends and family were in the audience. His love language was quality time, which is why he loved long road trips, camping and movie nights. And yet he spoke everyone else’s love language clearly and loudly. He loved to bake chocolate chip cookies for everyone and his ‘famous sloppy joes’ for his family. Levi bravely fought and ultimately won his 14+ month battle with Diffuse Midline Glioma. He fought with resilience, gratitude, humor and above all… hope. When he knew there was no cure, he always said “not yet”. Please honor his brief but spectacular 13 years on Earth by raising awareness for pediatric cancer and the lack of treatments available. Live like Levi, with gratitude, humor, love, adventure and a smile. Like a Conqueror.
