Levi Glen Wilson

Levi "Glen" Wilson, a cherished individual known for his kindness, loving, caring, and humorous personality, left us on September 10, 2024. Born on September 30, 1954, in Michigan City, IN, to LB Wilson and Mary Ellen (nee Jones) Hudson. Glen lived a life filled with tremendous service towards others. His presence radiated warmth and joy to all who had the pleasure of knowing him, and his legacy of love and laughter will forever be remembered.

Levi Glen was a proud Rogers Raider, having graduated from Rogers Senior High School in Michigan City, IN, in the year 1973. His commitment to excellence was evident early on and continued throughout his life. After high school, Glen embarked on a career that would see him become a well-known and respected member of the Michigan City community. For over 20 years, he dedicated himself to the Michigan City Refuge Department, where he was affectionately known as the "garbage man," a title he carried with pride.

His industrious spirit didn't end there. Levi later took to the open road as a truck driver, a vocation he pursued with passion for another 20 years. A true handyman, he was known for his ability to fix his own truck whenever it broke down, ensuring that he could always keep moving forward. Along his travels, Levi Glen was known for his love of Mountain Dew, Little Debbie cakes, and cookies, earning him the playful nickname "Cookie Monster" for his sweet tooth. His sense of humor was reflected in the many nicknames he acquired, each a testament to his multifaceted personality and the affection he inspired in others.

Outside of work, Levi was a man of many talents and interests. In his high school days, he played football, displaying a competitive spirit and teamwork. His love for automobiles was more than just a hobby; at the tender age of 16, he built his own car, showcasing his impressive skills and determination. A jack of all trades, Glen could often be found working on cars, a pastime that brought him great satisfaction.

Music played a significant role in Levi’s life. He was not only a drummer at his church but also performed in numerous singing groups and bands. His musical talents were a source of joy and inspiration, and his performances will be remembered by many.

Above all, Glen was a family man. He was a loving father to his eight children: Tawana Lynch of Milwaukee, Shai Allen of Houston, TX, Talethia Kelly of Longview, TX, Aryes Wilson, Jamiel Wilson, A'Daigha Jones (Lawrence Jones), Kolibri Wilson, all of Michigan City, IN, and Dane Wilson of Indianapolis. His 14 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren brought him immeasurable happiness, and his role as a grandfather was one, he cherished deeply.

Levi Glen's life was also enriched by his siblings, brother Mark Hudson and sister Carolyn Moore, both of Michigan City, IN. The bond they shared was unbreakable, and their shared memories will continue to bring comfort in the days to come.

He is preceded in death by his parents LB Wilson and Mary Ellen Hudson; siblings, Terry Wilson, Connie Parchman, Rosie Wilson and Jackie Wilson.

Levi "Glen" Wilson's journey on this earth may have concluded, but the love he shared and the lives he touched will carry on. His laughter, his generous spirit, and his unwavering kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Glen's memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with this remarkable man.
