On Sunday, Jan. 17, 2021, Bruce Levens passed away at the age of 70. Bruce was born on July 24, 1950, in Minneapolis to Vrem and Gale (Fogel) Levens.

He received his bachelor’s degree from Rockhurst University and worked as a computer programmer in Kansas City. He married Kathrine Arnett and together they raised two children, Emmy and Joseph.

A musician, mathematician, father, friend and lifelong clown, Bruce had a passion for life. He did nothing by half measures — he loved fully, prayed devoutly and was, at all times, his true self.

Bruce was preceded in death by his father Vrem; his mother Gale; and his stepmother Esther. He is survived by his children, Emmy and Joseph; his former wife, Katy; his sister, Lori; and his three grandchildren.

A private graveside service was held on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2021, at Mount Carmel Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City.
