I can remember at lunch, we used to do this thing where we’d make the “okay” symbol with our hands, turn them upside down and place them over our eyes. We’d try to get people, and they’d have to lay on their back and go “Caca Caca Caca” like a bird. Levi was a goof about it, he didn’t care where he was, he’d do it, and laughed as we were on the floor in tears. Even at lunch, he’d get up and flex to make the girls over the other table swoon. We had a good laugh, and I remember threatening him for taking my cheese sticks, saying: “I’m going to punch you, man” he’d always laugh and punch me back when I socked his arm.

It’s sad to see a man like Levi go, someone who was sturdy in his beliefs and ever sturdier as a friend. I’ll miss you buddy, and may your body find solace as its returned to our loving Mother Earth, and your soul rest in peace as you embrace your Father. I’ll see you one day. And you better have my $2.50, haha.

My church is a supporter of the great works of the Florida Baptist Children’s Home and I wonder if Mr. Barns has any family.

William if you hear of a funeral date or other details, please inform us.
