Levi Thomas

Levi Kelly Thomas, son of Kevin and Daphne Thomas of Hurricane, Utah passed away from a sudden onset of Acute Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia on Wednesday, June 24, 2020 in St George, Utah.  In his short 19½ years of life he brought an amazing amount of joy and love to others.

He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  He was the youngest of 6 children.  He leaves behind his parents along with his five older siblings Aubrey (Dayton) Hall, Kara (Shaun) Cox, Kalen (Brittany) Thomas, Lasca (Neil) Young and Landon Thomas.  He is also survived by his Grandparents Kelly and Sheila Dutton of Hurricane, UT and 10 amazing nephews and nieces with 2 more on the way.

Levi obtained the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America and also attended Boy’s State.  He graduated from Hurricane High School with the class of 2019.  He also graduated with 4 years of Seminary. He was a gentle giant and a protector.  He wanted to serve in Law Enforcement and was anxiously awaiting his 21st birthday so that he could apply.

He had a talent for wood working and had made an entire bedroom set as well as tool chests and many other items as gifts to family members. He was handy with ceramics as well with a variety of hand made pots and items.  He had a good voice and sang with the school and church choir. He also learned to play the violin, clarinet and most recently was trying to learn to play the guitar. He loved camping, hunting, fishing and enjoying life in the great outdoors.  He had a zest for life and had a happy energy that was contagious.  He was the best uncle ever in the opinion of his nephews and nieces who adored him almost as much as his parents and siblings.

His funeral / Celebration of Life will be held Friday the 10th of July, 2020 at the Dutton Family Property on Kolob Mountain.  He will be buried in the Hurricane City Cemetery later that afternoon.

For those who would like to attend the funeral for Levi Thomas on
Friday July 10, 2020 we offer the following.  First of all, if you are
sick or showing any possible symptoms of illness of any kind, please
keep yourself and everyone else safe by staying home.  We will have
hand sanitizer and facemasks available if you need them but we won’t
require anyone to wear one if they choose not to.  The pavilion can
hold about a hundred people in the shade and we will have chairs and
benches set up.  You may want to bring an umbrella for shade in case
there isn’t room under the pavilion and shades we have set up.  It
will likely be a warm sunny day but with it being in the mountains you
never know.  Feel free to dress appropriately for a funeral in a
mountain setting.

The viewing will go from 9:30  to 10:45am.  A private family prayer will
be offered the day before at the mortuary.  The funeral will begin at
11:00am and will likely be streamed live on facebook, probably on
Kevin’s Facebook page  https://www.facebook.com/kevin.thomas.10690203
and on the McMillin Mortuary webpage at https://www.mcmillanmortuary.com/obituary/Levi-Thomas .  We hope to
also record it for watching later if you can’t make it at that time.

Directions:  Starting from the town of LaVerkin at the stoplight by
the Turnoff to Zion and the Maverick Gas Station go East toward Zion
6.7 miles to the new turnoff in Virgin.  The new turnoff will be on
your left going North and there is a sign indicating that it is the
road to Kolob Reservoir.

From that turnoff in Virgin it is 20.4 miles to gate of the Terrace
Drive Subdivision on the left and is just before you reach Whispering
Pines.  It is a quarter mile of narrow dirt road from the gate up to
the pavilion.  You can’t see the pavilion from the main road or the
dirt road.  At the entrance to our Pavilion property there is a sign
on the left that says “Dutton Destination”.  Parking may be somewhat
limited so carpooling is recommended where feasible.

A lunch will be served for all who attend right after the funeral at
the pavilion.  After lunch the interment will be at the Hurricane
Cemetery at approximately 3:30pm.

We wish to thank everyone for your kindness, support and for your many
acts of Christ-Like service.
