Levern and his parents immigrated to Canada when he was 4 years old and they farmed in the Acme area of Alberta. He attended high school in Swalwell, then went on to
Canadian Union College (now
Burman University) in Lacombe. There, he met his “college sweetheart”, Ruth Schafer, and they were married for 67 years. After Levern graduated from CUC, he was a pastor for the Seventh-day Adventist Church until he retired. He was an avid photographer, and enjoyed producing slide shows of nature and places he had travelled to. Levern leaves behind his devoted wife, Ruth and three daughters, Gaylene Border (Dan), Donna Krenzler, and Janice Krenzler; four grand children, Jonathan Border, Jana Border, Peter Dassenko, and Andrew Dassenko (Felicia); and five great grand children, Devon, Braden, and Breana Border, Kayla Border, and Abbagail Dassenko. Levern is resting in Jesus, awaiting the call of the Life Giver on the Resurrection Day. “Even so come, Lord Jesus”. Rev. 22:20.
