Rodney Willard Levy

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Rodney Willard Levy on Sunday June 4th peacefully at his home in Hatchet Lake, Nova Scotia. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend to so many.

Rod was born in Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia on June 8th 1958. He was the son of the late Willard and Julia Levy.

Rod was so many things but most of all he was a proud family man and a devoted husband. He was the most dependable, honest, hard working man and the rock of his family. He could fix anything and took great pride in everything he did. He was kind, sentimental, and a real jokster. He was a mentor to many people and believed in second chances.

Family and friends were everything to Rod. He loved his home and life. He enjoyed boating, especially in his later years at the Armdale yacht club.

Over his career Rod worked with Sears Canada, Downeast Communications, Bell Canada and MICCO.

Rod will be lovingly remembered by his wife and soulmate of 43 years. Janet. They were each other's everything. Their relationship was so special and it was evident how much he adored his "Little Janny". He is survived by his daughters Shannon Toth (Devin Kellegrew) Halifax, Helena Gabriel (Joseph) Longmeadow, Massachusetts, Sara Miller (David) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Grandchildren Andrew and Kyle Toth Halifax, Hannah Gabriel Longmeadow Massachusetts, Andi Miller Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Sister Louise Marriott (Garfield) Whites lake. Sisters in law Diana Brown (Les), Linda Horne (David). Brothers in law Harold Landry (Sheila), David Landry (Belinda). Father in law Harold Landry Senior. Half brothers in law Victor Bobbit, Terry Bobbit. Half sister in law Faye Nicholson. He is predeceased by half brothers in law Wallace Bobbit, John Bobbit, Albert Bobbit and Raymond (Sonny) Bobbit, half sister in law Joan Perry (Bobbit), and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Many people looked up to Rod but there was one person that he looked up to as a mentor and best friend. They held council every Friday for coffee for many years. His "buddy" Mickey Macdonald. Words cannot express their relationship. He valued their friendship that turned into family.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the neighbors and first responders for all their help and support.

As per Rod's wishes, there will be no service. Private family viewing followed by cremation at J A Snow Funeral home 339 Lacewood Dr, Halifax NS June 9th 2-5 pm.
