Obituary: David Levine

David Levine, 83, of Atlanta, passed away on July 3, 2026. David was born in Charleston, S.C., on Dec. 24, 1942, the first child of Anita and Sol Levine, who predeceased him. He is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, Eve (nee Mendelsohn), his four children (Mandy and spouse, Ulrich, Alison, Scott, and Eric), his much-adored grandchildren, Sophie and Max Brackenhammer, and his siblings, Rose Ross and Ralph Levine. We remember him for his love of the beach (notably, Sullivans Island, S.C.), his penchant for colorful sneakers, and love of music. After growing up in Charleston, with a brief-but-important stint in Barnwell, S.C., David graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1964 and then earned his JD from Emory University School of Law in 1967. He settled in Atlanta, where he practiced law for the next 58 years.
