| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, Arizona Wednesday, November 12, 2008 Levi J. Dennis, 21, left us Nov. 2. He was born Jan. 26, 1987, in Phoenix, Ariz. Levi, a home-school graduate in 2004, earned his Awana Citation Award in 2005 and attained his Associates Degree from Yavapai College in 2006. Shortly after, he entered the Navy, having just completed his training as a Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman. He held the rank of Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class. He is well remembered for his help in Awana Clubs, earning his citation in 2005. He enjoyed working with his peers and helping the leaders, but had the greatest impact working with young children (the youngsters adored him). His charismatic, mischievous nature is missed by his parents Ben and Mary, his brother Shane and sister-in-law Kristy. He will also be missed by brother Jesse, sisters Heather and Dasia, and brothers Galen and Ian. Many family and friends and SARC team members are already missing him. Memorial services will be held at Skull Valley Bible Church on Saturday (Nov. 15). His family is most assured by his acceptance of Christ and considers Levi’s habit of telling those he spoke to he loved them, one of his greatest gifts to those near him. Arrangements are by David’s Desert Chapel Funeral Home of Wickenburg. --------------------------------------- The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Friday, November 14, 2008 Levi J. Dennis, 21, left us Nov. 2, 2008, (Phoenix, Ariz.) as the result of a tragic accident. He was born Jan. 26, 1987, in Phoenix, Ariz. He is devastatingly missed by his family, friends and fellow Navy "SARC" team members. Levi completed his Associates Degree at Yavapai College at age 19, was accepted to the Naval Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman training program and completed it with the rank of Hospital Corpsman Third Class. He was preparing to deploy to Japan later this month to serve as a Special Operations Combat Medic. Locally he was involved in helping younger people through Awana and community activities. He earned his Awana Citation for 10 years of service and leadership. A pastor said of him: "Levi challenged us to think." Levi is remembered for his mischievous smile and charismatic personality. His family is comforted by his acceptance of Christ and his habit of openly telling them how much he loved them. They are also very proud of his service, accomplishments and the person he was.
