Mr. Levi Massey "Smiley"
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, and I have kept the faith:
2 Timothy 4:7
On Monday, December 13, 2021 Levi Massey (Smiley) exchanged his address for a life of eternity. Levi was an amazing man who loved to dance and crack jokes. He loved his family the most.
