1985 ~ 2004
Our beloved son, brother, and friend Levi Mattson, 18, passed away on Saturday, May 15th, 2004.
Born to Matt and Sheri Mattson on September 17, 1985 in Ogden, Utah.
Levi was one of the most kind-hearted and generous children of our Heavenly Father. When he was younger, he never seemed to have anything because he would always give his "stuff" away to someone who really wanted it. If we saw a beggar, he made us stop to give him something. At an early age, he would cry if your were crying...he was very
tender.
From the beginning, Levi was magical. He had the ability to enfold all around him in his aura. People, old and young have always been attracted to him. You could not help but like and then love him. In many ways, he would weave his threads and strings about you and then you were his. He would pull those strings and he would have you dancing or laughing and sometimes crying. You could not help yourself; he had you in his power.
Well, now those strings have been pulled and we are crying for we will miss him, but those same strings that has us attached to him, have bound him to us. We have been promised that those strings that have "sealed" him to us will reach beyond death and past the grave. We will have our Levi forever. And though we cry for him now, we know that we will laugh and dance with him forever; for those strings will never be cut or broken. They will last forever.
Survived by his parents, Matthew and Sherri Mattson. Levi was the first of seven children and the first in this world to show his siblings how. He is now the first to lead them into the next life. Siblings are Logan, Landon, Lexis, twins Hunter and Tanner, and Noah; grandmothers Sherrie Mattson and Phyllis Rice and numerous loving aunts, uncles and cousins.
