Leejay Levene was a wonderful young man who tragically died at the age of 18 during routine wisdom teeth extraction in Waterloo Ontario. This mishap occurred in July of 2007, when Leejay went to an oral surgeon's office. Leejay was full of life, loved music and art, snowboarding and golfing. Leejay's mother, Shirley, collected the artwork that her three sons did over the years. Leejay's artwork was photographed after his mishap, and reproduced to help worthy causes at live and silent auctions across Canada. This has become a meaningful way to help heal the Levene family as well as to keep Leejay's memory alive to people near and far. |
