The Gospel of Jesus Christ...When I think of Gary, I think about what he was about. Gary Levi was an example for us, we need to share the Gospel like Gary shared the Gospel.
I am blessed to have known him here and look forward to seeing Gary again someday.

A, C, and Hilda - Just found out about Gary's passing. Gary meant so much to me and Jimmy when we lived on the Levi Farm. He touched our lives and I know he will be missed. Chris and I are praying for you.

AC and Hilda. Just found out about Gary's passing yesterday. My condolences go out to your entire family. I remember Gary well and his love for the Lord. Great memories of Gary and your entire family when Jimmy and I live on the farm. Love ya'll

I knew Gary from CIU and attended Church with him many times.  Great friend and faithful Brother.

I have fond memories of Gary at CIU.  We were roommates his first year there.  His passion for Christ carried him beyond the classroom and his testimony will continue on around the world. Like Paul writes, to be away from the body is to be at home with the Lord.  

Prayed for you and that God's strength and comfort will be your banner.

I was so sorry to hear of Gary's death.  My prayers are with all of you during this most difficult time.

So sorry to hear such a great man of God had to leave us as we need more like him.  We were so honored to pray for him I still have the rock and we have been praying for him.  Our prayers now will transfer over to your family as you go through your time of mourning this wonderful young man.

My sincere condolences to the Levi family and all who knew and loved Gary. What wonderful memories you must have.

To A.C., Hilda, Allen, and all the Levi family members:
Deepest condolences on the untimely passing of Gary who lived such a good and honorable life.  We have many fond memories of Gary when our families lived on Roswell Lane in Columbus.  We will keep Gary and all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Steve, Jerry, and Luther Smith

May God comfort you in this time of sorrow as promise at 2 Corin 1:2-4.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Our deepest condolences to the entire family.  Please know that we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.  Marty mourns the loss of "The Best Man I Ever Knew".  Comfort is found in knowing that Earth's loss is Heaven's gain.

     A vigil in our hearts, around this wide world, ongoing for Gary's mission. He got so much accomplished for all who cherish the hope of Christ, those waiting for hope and those who've found it.  Thank you for bringing up such a wonderful son, brother, uncle and great uncle in the Levi's love, so fun and brilliant, seeking the best, willing to sacrifice for the best, and finding daily, the marvelous Maker and Sustainer of the Garden. 
      With great sorrow for your loss of such a dear person as Gary, and with great courage for the ways in which you all have worked together to know and serve Jesus, bringing everyone you meet this glorious love from beyond, thank you.  Thank you for sharing the special ways you see the world and its people. Gary Levi and your amazing family will always be a beacon.
      The thunder is sounding here, as I reflect on what I have known and have read of your journey as family.  It is profound.

Allen and Family,

I am so sorrry to hear about your  loss.  I never knew Gary personally and only knew him through your music and your blog and could relate to him as a former missionary and  CIU Bible  certificate student.  

Our family will continue to pray for yours.  I have also passed the obituary on to CIU and theysay they will be praying as well.

I am so sorry to hear of Gary's death. I have such great memories of playing ball and running track with Gary. He will be missed.

I was shocked to read of Gary's passing. I know he is rejoicing in Heaven.
I would always look forward getting to speak to him when he was at Wynnbrook.

AC, Hilda & Family, We are sorry to hear of Garys passing, tho inspired by the care, love and attention Allen and your family provided during the tough times prior. Gary and I only shook hands a few times but the kindness recieved during just those few times gave me a glimps of a giving friend. In reading Gary's obituary it is revealed to me that his hand touched many people, people looking for that kind of kindness. I have been keeping up with Allens blog most of this year. Songs of joy, family, home life as well. We have been praying for you and will continue too. Our most sincere condolences to your family. Lifting and loving yall. Cousin Bill, Cissy, Mickey & Ed Bearden

I am so saddened to hear of Gary's illness and death. He was such an inspiration to everyone he met. He subbed for me many times and through that job opportunity I got to know him. He will be missed greatly by many. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Your guiding light will be missed on the next steps of the journey. We are grateful for the steps you left for us to follow.

To Gary's Family, especially his brother. I thank God for the opportunity of meeting both of you. The precious moment we shared in my office, I will never forget how God bless all of us at that very moment.  My prayers are with you and your family.  Love, Chris Norah

I feel honored to have known Gary. He was a blessing to all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Chris Sargent (Columbus, GA)

I was so sorry to hear about Gary's death, and my heartfelt condolences to Allen and the rest of the Levi family.

    You are in my prayers and my heart goes out to you all.Please accept my condolences.                            Gail Rai (Pine Mtn. Ga.)

Just got home from the memorial service, have good memories of Gary, we had some fun in our younger years. I will keep your family in my prayers.
                                                                        Rex Milner

Gary was a good neighbor, friend, and brother in Christ.  He was our gain and now he is heaven's gain. We are celebrating his life and looking forward to a heavenly hug someday.

You will be missed Brother.  You touched many young people's lives including my daughter.  She thought a lot of you.  May God Bless your family.  They know that they will see you again.

I only knew of Gary through Mr. and Mrs. Levi, but was deeply influenced by his life lived in Christ. Faith in action is a powerful force in this world. I know that Gary has been welcomed home with celebration and joy.

Remembering a life well lived. "we are not like those without hope" I Thess 4:13-18 Finally home!

We wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire Levi family as we knew Gary had been ill and has now passed.  You are in our thoughts and prayers. There is no doubt that his passing will be a great loss to all who knew him.

With deepest sympathy,
Tara Roney and Lillian Hanscomb  ( Westech Hearing )

My heart goes out to the Levi family, which truly includes all those who have been touched by Gary over the years.  We all have a special angel to watch over us, but he will be missed by all who knew him on earth.

Gary Levi was an inspiration to all who met him.  My condolences to the Levi Family.  

Sincerely,

I will always think of Gary as a "man of action (and truth)," as described in 1 John 3: 18: "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." It will always stick with me: His Godly impatience with some of us who talked about what we should do as Christians rather than just moving quickly to do it. He leaves a great legacy here and abroad, as well as lots of wonderful memories that I hope will comfort those who loved him most. Levis, you're in my prayers. Peace be with you.

Gary will, no doubt, have the biggest angel wings upon his arrival.  A beautiful man, a dedicated soul, an inspiration.  Love, hugs and prayers for the family Levi.

Wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain.  With my deepest sympathy to the Family Levi.  Love and Prayers

Gary was an inspiration to so many not only in Harris County but throughout the world.  Our loss is heavens gain.  May the many memories of his life continue to be a blessing to everyone he knew him.  My heartfelt condolences to the entire family during this time.

My mother worked for Mr A.C. and B.J. for years.  My oldest son went to HCHS and has had the priviledge of learning from Allen and Gary, at school in the way they blessed everyone who came thru the doors, and on a more personal level through Bible studies and mentoring.
I am thankful for the additional godly example (there can never be too many godly men in a young man's life) and encouragement Gary provided in my son, Austin's life.
Gary will be missed.
Austin said 'Mr. Gary is up there holding the doors open for all that come in behind him and greeting them by name!' 
Many students have said that their days were better when they knew that Gary was there just to smile and greet them in the morning.
Our prayers are with your family.

Gary and I spoke at the Chinese restaurant in Wynnton with Allen. My prayers are with you all. Sim Thomas

love,
Philip, Jamie, Hannah & Trey Cook
