June 18, 2013 - October 13, 2023. A light in this world, Levi Michael Zielonka entered this earth on June 18, 2013 into the grateful arms of his parents and was received into the arms of his heavenly Father on October 13, 2023.
Levi gifted his parents Julie and Brian with the titles of “Mom” and “Dad” and the opportunity to witness zest for life and joy that will remain a legacy to them forever. The origin of Levi is “united in harmony” and he embodied this by being the best big brother to Sofia, Noah, Ellie, Charli, Micah and Harper. He was selfless in life and generous with love. Levi loved his family so deeply and so purely that his light will endure until one day they are reunited again in Heaven.
While Levi will be missed by his grandparents Mark and Sharon Zielonka and Dzia Dzia John Kochmanski, he was joyfully reunited at the gates of Heaven with his Babcia, Marie Kochmanski. Levi will also be truly missed by his aunts and uncles: Amanda (Kenny) Almeter, Nicole (Larry) Lampke, Katie (Anthony) Poupalos, John (Marisa) Kochmanski, Mary Kochmanski, and Annie Kochmanski. His memory will be cherished by many cousins, extended family, and friends; and his infectious smile will be greatly missed by his St. Joseph’s School family.
Levi was dedicated in his love of God and enthusiastically shared that love with others. This love especially came through while he was singing his praises to God at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church and while learning to play hymns during piano lessons. After Sunday church services, Levi could be found enjoying his second great passion, sports. Whenever he was tossing a football around or reciting sports statistics, he was in his element.
The family will be present to receive friends at the CHARLES MEYER FUNERAL HOME, 13228 Broadway Alden, NY on Friday from 1-3 and 5-7 PM. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at the Resurrection Parish/St. Joseph Site, 303 E. Main St., Batavia, NY on Saturday, October 21st at 10 AM (please assemble at church) To honor Levi’s memory, please feel free to wear your favorite sports jerseys or team wear to the funeral Mass.
