Levi Benjamin Felix AKA Professor Fidget Wigglesworth
Resided in Oakland, California
Born July 29, 1984
Raised in Fresno, California, a UCSB graduate, Levi built communities wherever he resided, most recently in the Bay Area. Levi fought a very difficult battle with brain cancer. He did everything possible that his doctors offered, plus more. The evil GBM won this war on January 11, 2017.
Diagnosed February 17, 2016, his faithful companion and love of his life, Brooke Dean was by his side this whole time. She made him the proudest husband by marrying him on October 30, 2016. They danced the night away with close friends and family. December 30th he was sitting at our fire pit with friends in his wheelchair unable to walk, still smiling. Levi never complained. Levi smiled everyday when he saw Brooke walk into a room, even when he became wheelchair bound, then bedridden. She was his main caregiver. He was happiest with his crew of friends and family nearby. Seth and Zev, his brothers, were also caregivers, by his side day and night. His parents, Bluma and Edward, fed him, held his hand and massaged his feet whenever possible.
Levi told us repeatedly that he did not feel like he had cancer; until the day he could no longer communicate. People-connecting and communicating was a big part of Levi's life. He always brought people together. From a very young age he tried to make people comfortable and feel included. He was a dedicated musician who loved to play and sing and introduce new music to everyone. Festivals and Judaism were his soul and spirit. He was the creator of Digital Detox and Camp Grounded. Levi encouraged people all over to "Disconnect to Reconnect". He longed to go to The Island again.
He leaves his bride, Brooke, his most caring and loving brothers Seth and Zev, his Baube Edythe, and broken-hearted proud parents Bluma and Edward.
In lieu of flowers/candy/coloring books, the family asks for your help in creating our 2017 LAST Camp Grounded, the exact way Levi would do it: WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
