Obituary: Donald Brian Levine - Atlanta Jewish Times

Donald Brian Levine, 68, of Marietta, Ga., passed away peacefully on April 23, 2025, after a short and sudden illness.

He was born on March 4, 1957, in Nashville, Tenn., to David and Francine Levine. Throughout his life, Don was a devoted husband, proud father, and loyal friend. He graduated from Middle Tennessee State University and was a proud member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.

Don built a successful career in sales, including owning his own plant brokering business — a perfect fit for his lifelong love of flowers and plants. In his later years, he found joy in golfing with friends, trading gold, long drives, and attending shows with his beloved wife, Debbie.

Kind and genuine, Don had a gift for making friends wherever he went. He is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Debbie; his daughter, Becky, and her husband, Matt; his sons, Ricky and Jonathan Shenkman; his siblings, Jerry and Gina; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, dear friends, and his cherished dogs, Willie and Augie.

A graveside memorial service was held on Monday, April 28, at 1 p.m. at Arlington Memorial Park. Shiva was hosted at the family’s home.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Multiple Sclerosis Society in Don’s honor.
