Unc you are irreplaceable!! One of a kind!!! Unparalleled!!! I came to you numerous times seeking wisdom & advice, you delivered every time. Always taught me to take the high road, Faith..Family and Finances will forever be my living standard because of you.

You were Precise!! Detailed!! Unambiguous!! With your experience. Relaying that message to me gave me clear transparency on the standards, that a man should hold himself.

Unc you are a true Consigliere

Van, You truly were a special person! We are grateful for all you have done for our family. The generosity that you extended to help and support with our grandmother "Mimi"providing her home-cooked meals from checking in on her making sure she was good "top flight security". I was always on ease knowing you were on-call 24/7. You were my ride or die Cowboy fan. You will be greatly missed. Until we meet again RIP. Love, Nicole King

I miss you so much and the reason why is because when I was on roller skates you taught me how to skate I'm super sad that you had to go but I hope you have a fun time in your mansion that God had created and have fun with your new friends love sweetie

HEY UNCLE I LOVE 💕 YOU YOUR IN A BETTER PLACE Thank you for being the BEST UNCLE A Girl Could ask for

LOVE NIKKI

I remember finding out that I was pregnant and you called me and told me how happy you were. I will never forget that. The phone calls everyday meant so much you use to always ask "what you eating today" checking on me and the baby. It was so special, you we're special to me & will forever be in my heart. I love you Uncle & I'm gonna miss you so much. Holding on to the memories we had. R.I.H my love ❤️

From: Ayana "FeFe" Richardson To: All of my extended, blended, family that ranges from California, Nevada, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, United States Army, and all points in between.

During this COVID-19 Pandemic, we have lost so many, and I have been affected tremendously. If you feel as though, I left you out on purpose; the answer is no that I did not. I have served this country for over 23 years both stateside (CONUS)/oversees (OCONUS); to include my cousin Deantoni Little, my cousin Andre Goodwin, and my cousin Renee Littleton. For we are a military and police family, who serve so that you can enjoy your freedoms and have been away from most of all our family for long periods of time. The sacrifices that we have made, isn't less than or greater than your sacrifices in caring for ill/sick family members. It takes a village....I would like to thank all five of Uncle Levan's children, his six siblings, my Aunt Linda, Aunt Sherry, Aunt/Cuz Lynn Anglin, Gmom/Cuz Peggy, Alanda, Tony Littleton, Cortez Littleton, Renee Stinson, and my Zwolle/Many/Mansfield family. The whole point of me mentioning family is, because I didn't want to leave anyone out. Let's move forward positively and come together as one to celebrate the life and legacy that he left behind....his children have lost their father when most still have their husbands, significant others, etc. My uncle told me, aunt Amanda, my mom Kathryn, and Delon that he wanted to get home to his children and grandkids. Let's respect his last wishes; I love and miss you all from the bottom of my heart. And, I will close with 23 PSALM:1-6 (my uncle had me to read to him before his surgery):

1. (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. AMEN.🙏🙏🙏

To Lavan, a very good-hearted person. Thank you for sharing your "love and kindness" to me and to Refuge Christian Church⛪ members and others.

You really touch my heart with your helpfulness and kindness to others and your "good cooking!" That smothered turkey wings, gravy, and cabbage was great!

Thank God for you giving your life and your soul to Jesus Christ 🙏 before you left here! We're all so happy and proud of you, Lavan. Now "Rest In Jesus Christ! My dear brother!" We'll see you again some day.

Love you always, Lavan. Your Sister in the Lord, Queen Sweetglo 👸

The memories & conversations in my heart I will never forget, Love you always~ your niece, Ty'Yonna 💙

I love you and know that you are no longer here, so I can't help but miss you...We ALL miss you. In life you have worn many titles...For me, you were a great uncle. You taught me how to tie my shoes, play the dozens, and cook amongst many other things, but most of all you taught me about family and how to love each other in tough time. We are in a tough spot, but we'll get through because it's what family does. All of us matter to you and you matter to all of us. Lastly, we all played a huge role in giving uncle a sense of family and community in his final time here. He acknowledged all of us, so let's celebrate his memory as a family united. #GoneNotForgotten. From Delon Richardson

My brother we celebrate your life. Because of your knowing Jesus as your savior,the Bible says To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. So we mourn as the Bible says but not like them that have no hope. And this is our greatest thought toward you, knowing that we will see you again. Until then rest in peace my Brother. Minister Lanneau White

FINAL FAREWELL STATEMENT (VIA EMAIL/TEXT):

From Ayana "FeFe", my son Marquis "Bam"(my Uncle's twin), daughter Amia "Mimi", son Jaden "Buddy", and A'Miracle "A'Mi".

My Uncle Levan was a loving and kind man; to know him is to love him. We all have made mistakes in life, but he finally kept working/improving until he got it right. I'm gonna miss him with all of my heart. He was always entertaining, great chef, loved his Lakers, Cowboys, BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomatoes sandwiches)-for he was an excellent cook, from Short order to soul food, and everything in between. He was a great son, father, brother, uncle, and friend; took on responsibility of Patriarch after the passing of Uncle Ovan; called and checked on everyone as best as he could; some took him for granted, because they misunderstood his intentions, and he just wanted to make sure we were good. His guidance from his life lessons is greatly appreciated; wanted us to do our best and not make the same mistakes. He made his wishes and prayers known; God saw fit for my Aunt Amanda/Mom Kathryn/family to advocate on his behalf; with the help of my brother Delon and Aunt Amanda drove him back home from California to Texas. He made it just in time to see his family one last time or talk over the phone, before God came and took his Angel back to his Heavenly Home. May God be our strength in time of sorrow; we have time to get it right; because there might not be tomorrow, so check in on ya loved ones, family and friends; those that are sick and shut in. As I close, there's no goodbyes, but joy for my Uncle who completed his race/journey, has no more pain, and eternal life. Amen.🙏😥🥰

Life is about making memories with your loved ones . I will always remember our conversations on sports ! He loved the "Lakers'" , the times we did projects on the house and Lavan would always say "Look man I know what I'm doing ! " Even sometimes when he didn't! Man you will be missed but not forgotten! -Earl woods

Uncle Lavan. My Mom put me on her message but I wanted to write my own. Thank you for all the times we walked to the store and I rode my scooter. Remember I let you ride my scooter and you broke the handle and you said you was going to buy me another one but you cooked me some scrambled eggs and pancakes instead. I would play my video games in the back room with Aunt Linda and you would always say "Dewaaaay, whatcha doin boy" I won't be scared if you come visit me while I play my games. Sometimes I game until 5 in the morning. Don't tell my Mom tho. Thank you for being a fun uncle and tell Granddaddy I said "Hi" From Dewey

LeVan , from the day your mother and my sister bought you home from hospital, I loved You. I will always remember the many ways You took care of me when I didn't have the strength to take care of myself. We shared so many things during your lifetime and I am thankful to God for allowing me to share in and be a part of your life. Nephew, I miss You so much. Your memory shall live in my heart forever , Auntie Linda

Dear uncle, I will miss you and love you. I was blessed to have you in my life for 20+ years. We the woods family will miss you, may your soul continue to rest in heaven. Jaysha Woods

But Just knowing you are flying high looking down on us all brings peace to my heart . All the memories and funny things you would say are stitched into my mind and heart forever unk love you always ..bumper and family

I will miss your sense of humor and your ability to keep us laughing all day long, your endless reminders that you are a "grown *** man", and that everything you cooked was next level. I will forever be grateful for the type of support you showed me when I was crazy busy doing my Hollywood thing, you would make my life so much easier. You should've been on stage telling jokes too but now you've made it to the main stage! Love you Unc/Cousin!

My brother, you told me last summer that you were going to head on back to Louisiana in about a year to handle some business and you did just that. I never took the opportunity To thank you for loving me and my kids unconditionally and thank you for allowing us to love you back. I'm going to miss the late night full meals that you would cook and the long talks and yes sometimes the disagreements. But then all it took was a look we would give each other and know that all was forgiven. I love you Brother Rest In Peace💞💞💞 Alanda/sister/cousin

With all the emotions I have while writing this, I look back on the memories we shared, wether you teaching how to barbecue or playing dominoes and listening to music. Our long talks on the porch or in the living room were something special that I won't ever forget. You told me to make sure I celebrate your life when the time comes, and I'm doing just that with a smile. It has been a pleasure to be on this journey with you called life. You have your wings now Big Unc. Fly high, until we meet again. From your nephew Jovon.

The last time we spoke, you said, "I want to live." This 11 minute video of Uncle and Niece time will always hold special memories for me. You've done the work. You've planted your seeds, you've paid your dues. From God we come, to God we return. You have been healed, your soul is at peace, and I'm grateful for every second. Years of uncontrollable laughter, store runs, cooking, gatherings, celebrations, tears, phone calls, video chats, text messages and I could go on and on. You weren't just my uncle; you were also my husbands uncle and a fantastic great uncle to my children. I'm so happy for the memories you created with Dewey. He will hold tight to "the stories behind his eyes". I am confident that YOUR SPIRIT WILL LIVE IN ETERNAL TRANQUILITY.

Forever, we will love you.

♥️Sheena, Kris and kids
