E. Levoine Humphreys
June 3, 1942 — May 19, 2018
Earl Levoine Humphreys was born on June 3, 1942 in rural Dundy County. He departed May 19, 2018 at UCHealth Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland, Colorado. He was 75 years of age.
Levoine was born at home on the school section in the southeast corner of Dundy County to William Kermit and Opal M. (Lemon) Humphreys. He went to country school south of Max, Nebraska at District 52 and graduated from Max Rural High School in 1960. While in high school, he enjoyed participating in all sports. He was a Lincoln Journal Star basketball player of the week and went to state in track.
Following high school, Levoine worked in construction until he was drafted into the United States Military in 1964. Following his training, he was deployed to South Korea for his entire tour of duty. After his return from service, he went back into the construction business and met his best friend, the late Darwin Rowe. They worked together for numerous years while Levoine lived in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Levoine moved back to Max in 1977 to be with his family and continued working construction. He wanted to watch his nieces and nephews grow up and enjoyed their sports and other activities.
He was generous with his tools and knowledge. He loved card games, Indian artifacts, dogs, stock-car races, hunting, practical jokes and he always had a good story to tell. Levoine was a member of the American Legion and VFW Post 4178. He was also a member of the United Game Bird Association and a lifetime member of the Max Community Club.
