Schenectady - Mickey A. LeVielle Sr., A Beacon of Compassion and Determination
In the morning hours of October 13th, 2023, Mickey A. LeVielle Sr., aged 68, completed his earthly journey surrounded by the love of his children in his cherished hometown of Schenectady, New York.
Mick left this world, leaving a legacy of immeasurable love, unwavering compassion, and admirable craftsmanship.
Born on June 11th, 1955, to the late Robert and Adella LeVielle, Mick's voyage through life was a radiant example of love in action. After graduating from Linton High School and Schenectady County Community College, he embarked on a multifaceted career that showcased his diverse talents. Mick was not only a manager at a jazz dinner night club, The Van Dyck, but also shared his expertise at Kay Jewelers, helping people find jewelry that spoke to their love stories.
Mick's innovative spirit shone through when he opened The Earth Doctor ahead of his time, providing all-natural products and ingredients for personal and household items. However, it was in carpentry that Mick found his true passion. He transformed his career into a canvas for creativity and diligence, turning wood and nails into beautiful, timeless masterpieces. Each chapter of his professional life reflected his dedication to excellence and a genuine desire to contribute positively to the lives of those around him.
Mick's heart, as vast as the ocean, was a wellspring of compassion. His days were filled with a profound appreciation for simple pleasures – a shared meal, a hearty laugh, a warm embrace.
Mick's presence was one of kindness extended to all. His compassion knew no bounds; his heart was a haven for all – family, friends, strangers, and animals alike. Mick listened with his soul, offered support with his heart, and extended his kindness without expectation of return.
His laughter was a melody that reverberated through the lives of those he touched, and his wisdom was a guiding star in their lives. Mick's absence creates a void that will never be filled, yet his spirit remains a comforting presence, forever intertwined with the lives he touched.
Cherishing his memory are his children, Mickey A. LeVielle, Jr. and Kylie LeVielle, who reflect the light of his spirit in their lives. His teachings, love, and zest for life continue to inspire and guide them.
In celebrating Mick's life, the family extends an invitation to embrace the simple joys he cherished:
Please take a moment to savor a cup of coffee, enjoy the beauty of a sunrise, take a trip to the beach, turn up the volume on your favorite music, lose yourself in the scenes of a classic movie, venture into the great outdoors, carrying a piece of his adventurous spirit with you. Let Mick's zest for life resonate in these moments, creating a poetic tapestry of shared experiences and cherished memories.
In lieu of traditional tributes, the family invites you to donate in Mick's memory to a charity that resonates with his altruistic spirit, perhaps one supporting the arts, woodworking education, or a cause close to his heart. The family has created a donation page at St. Jude's to honor Mick's life and help others. Each act of kindness and each donation will be a tribute to a man who lived his life as a beacon of love, hope, and compassion.
