David Eugene Levoy

David Eugene Levoy was born in Williston, Florida and passed away September 28, 2023 in Shiro, Texas at the age of 71. He was preceded in death by his parents Allen and Wilma Levoy, and his brothers Al Jr. and Michael Levoy. David is survived by his wife Regina, sister Patsy McCammon, and nephew Dustin McCammon. After marrying his first wife Diann Simpson, the two of them entered the army in 1971 until departure from service in 1974. David's last duty station was in Okinawa, where he was assigned to the Makiminato Army Medical Supply Depot. Job opportunities in Texas beckoned, and after a stint at surveying, David worked as a Relay Technician at Houston Lighting and Power. He had an engaging and questioning mind, particularly about history. At a Houston Archaeological Society meeting on the U of H campus, where he was taking classes, he met his second wife, Regina. They married in 1980 and left Houston for a more rural life, first in Walker and finally, in Grimes County. He worked at Texas Municipal Power Agency from 1981 to 1996, after which he worked for the Texas Department of Corrections in Huntsville, first as a Correctional Officer and later as a supervisor at the Mattress Factory in Wynne Unit. Before and after retirement, David indulged in his love of riding motorcycles and travel, and together he and Regina shared adventures from backpacking in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming and canoeing in the Maine wilderness to trips in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. But he believed in serving community as well, and was a Shiro Volunteer Firefighter for several years. David wanted so much to travel more, but Lymphoma intervened, and after a courageous fight with this aggressive disease, this kind and caring man made his final journey. He is missed by those who loved him and befriended him, including the Masons of Richards Lodge where he served as Worshipful Master in 2017, the American Legion Riders in Huntsville, and the Southern Cruiser Riders of Conroe. A memorial service will be held on Saturday December 2, 2023 at 1:00 PM at Sam Houston Memorial Funeral Home in Huntsville, TX.
