He was a loving, devoted father, grandfather, and brother to his family.

Survivors include his daughter, Morgan (Andrew) Levsen of Laramie, WY; three grandchildren, McKenzie, Bentley, Teagen; four siblings, Connie (Marvin) Masters of Forestville, Julie (Lynn) Clark of Forestville, Theresa (Steve) Johnson of Green Bay, Karen (Randy) Krueger of Sturgeon Bay; stepsiblings, Marie Ramos of Nashville, TN, and David (Pam) Smith of Ohio; sister-in-law, Carol; along with many nieces and nephews.

“To Aunt Connie and Uncle Marvin, dad and I would like to extend our mutual love, appreciation and gratitude for your years of generosity, unconditional love, and support day or night. We could not have made it through this difficult time without you both. Dad will be eternally grateful for all the many times you were there for him when he called on you throughout these many years. And for staying by our sides during these last few days for stepping up and fulfilling all his wishes. You have taught me the true meaning of family during this time. Love, Morgan”
