I can't say I know how helpful or healing it is to say it, but that really is sad news and I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm also a bit ashamed that I have to jump back on those over-used lines of grief. I just don't know what to say or how to comfort you--perhaps that is why.
I suppose my only advice to you is to honor his character, honor the creation inspired by him.
Become the best writer you can be so that other people can also experience what kind of guy he was and why people loved him for it.

Jo, I probably won't get the words right either, but your original post gave me a vivid picture of Levi. I'm sorry you've lost such a loyal friend; someone who took the risks that challenged you and his other friends to live braver, more generous lives. I hope you never forget him, and maybe it will help if sometimes you do something for someone else and think "Levi, this is for you"? I don't know. Grief is intense and private. Just know you have our sympathy/prayers. Take care,
Jenny

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure your book will be a fine memorial to him and I hope that brings you a little comfort.
How amazing to have something like that (your neighbor's intense words) come out of a tragedy. I'm from Virginia (born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg) and your situation really spoke to me (I don't know, maybe because I can picture the landscape and the good kind of "bad boy" people who live there.) I lost a friend like that many years ago, and he still resonates in my memory. I'm sure your writing will be a fitting tribute to his life.
I'm so sorry. He will live on in your writing and in your heart.
Sorry that sounds so pathetically corny. But it's true. That's why they always say it. People like that don't just go away.
