Levi Garrett Windle was born Oct. 6, 1979, in Sheridan, Wyoming to Steve and Gayle (Hampton) Windle. He passed away Oct. 19, 2003, as the result of injuries sustained in an accidental fall.
He moved with his parents and brother, Brody, to Leander, Texas in 1986. He attended Texas A & M University in College Station, Texas where he soon became a true devoted "Aggie." He was pro-tradition, fiercely loyal, and greatly loved by his fellow "Aggies." Levi loved BTHOB and what it represented. He was instrumental in continuing the tradition of bonfire.
He loved to work and play on his grandparents farm near Dodge City where he visited every chance he got. He entertained and teased his cousins and family with comical stories and pranks. The farm experience led him to choose Agricultural Education as his major. He was a dynamic leader and mentor. He loved life and lived every minute to the fullest. His unique magnetism made him a role model for his fellow "Aggies," his family, and anyone who crossed his path. Levi never met a person who did not become his friend. He had a smile as wide as Texas that rarely left his face. He deeply loved his parents, brother, and extended family and often expressed it through his words, actions, and deeds.
Levi was preceded in death by his brother, Shiloh.
In addition to his parents and brother he is survived by his faithful beloved canine "Captain Gingersnap" (Cappy), grandparents Clarence and Phyliss Windle of Payson, Ariz. formerly of Dodge City and Liberal, Marvin and Floris Jean Hampton of Dodge City, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and innumerable friends.
