Sue, Mike, Amber and the rest of the Levick family, we are sharing in your sadness today as you remember Steve.   I am sorry we could not be there to honor him along with you.  He was a kind and loving man, and he will be deeply missed.  

- Shawn, Lynn, and your family in Wisconsin

Above all, Steve was a family man. He and his son Mike worked side by side at Wheeler Dealer, and Steve was never shy about expressing how proud he was of Mike and his grandchildren. His eyes would light up when talking about their accomplishments, and his love for his family was evident in all he did.

Steve’s generosity was as deep as his passion. Each year, proceeds from Cars on Main were donated to the Johnston County Special Olympics—an organization close to his heart. He was particularly proud of ensuring that every dollar raised stayed within the community, directly benefiting local athletes and families.

Steve’s passing leaves a void that will be deeply felt throughout Kenly. He embodied the very best of small-town spirit—kind, generous, and committed to making things better for everyone around him. From supporting local causes and town events to helping build a stronger Chamber, Steve gave freely of his time, resources, and heart.

The Kenly Area Chamber of Commerce extends its heartfelt condolences to Steve’s family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy lives on in the streets he helped revitalize, the events he brought to life, and the countless lives he touched with his generosity and warmth.

Steve Levick will be dearly missed—but never forgotten.

In Loving Memory of Steve Levick

It is with profound sadness that the Kenly Area Chamber of Commerce joins the community in mourning the loss of Steve Levick of Wheeler Dealer of Kenly. A man of vision, heart, and unwavering dedication, Steve made an indelible impact on Kenly in the short time he called it home.

Originally from New York, Steve and his family brought with them a deep entrepreneurial spirit and a love for community. Upon arriving in Kenly, Steve quickly became a beacon of revitalization and hope. He saw potential where others saw vacancy—transforming the old Car Quest building into a vibrant storefront filled with automotive memorabilia. More than just a business, Wheeler Dealer became a hub for car enthusiasts and a magnet that brought life and foot traffic back to Main Street.

Steve’s leadership and commitment to Kenly extended far beyond his storefront. As a past president of the Kenly Area Chamber of Commerce, he led with compassion and determination. He was the driving force behind Cars on Main, the beloved annual car show and family fun day held each June. With meticulous care and contagious enthusiasm, Steve coordinated car clubs, secured radio sponsorships, and brought in food vendors—all with the singular goal of creating a joyful, family-friendly day that welcomed everyone downtown. His devotion to that event was unmatched, and the joy it brought to so many stands as a testament to his tireless work.

Steve was by far the best grandpa a girl could ask for. From the moment he saw Jayme and I when we were just moving in when we were very little,  To the moment of my highschool graduation. He was there for me and was always one of my biggest supporters. I’m going to kick ass in school and life for you pa. Everything I do, I will done with 100% of me for you. Until we meet again pa. Miss you

My heartfelt condolences to the Levick family. I'll always remember the wonderful times I had with Steve and Mike growing up in Massapequa. Best of luck to you all, you will be in my prayers.

Condolences to the family.  I have fond memories of this kind man from Florida and New York . He opened his heart to all and was always ready to help in any way he could. Drove a few cars and stayed at his home. I'm sure he is wheeling and dealing in heaven right now. Bless you Steve.

He was a very kind man who gave to others. He once gave my son a job for the summer. You're going to be missed.

My sincere condolences to the Levick Family. Steven was a great man. Great childhood memories in Massapequa playing baseball with Mike and Steven was coaching, hanging out at the Levick house. Even buying one of my cars from Steven. It was a stick shift and I never even drove stick until I drove it off the lot that day. I’ll always rememebr that. Steven will be greatly missed by many.

Well "Steve Dear" I will always be "Effa" to Ben and "Eva Dear" to you.  Thanks for all the rides back and forth to NC & NY.  Witnessed my first car auction with you and Mike.  Loved every minute of it.  And your visits to the Four Seasons.  You guys were the first to stay at Four Seasons.  
Love ya,
Joe and Effa Dear
