The Story
of Levi Foster

Levi Foster was born at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eugene, Oregon and grew up in the small town of Veneta, Oregon with his parents Leonard and Peggy, younger sister Shelby, and the family chocolate lab Rocky. At a young age Levi knew he wanted to be a US Marine — and in November 2008, that is exactly what he did. He graduated bootcamp in June 2009 at MCRD San Diego, and not long after was sent to his first deployment to Afghanistan.

On June 15th, 2022, Levi took his own life after struggling with PTSD, leaving behind two young children he loved to take fishing, camping, and traveling. He also enjoyed working on vehicles and taking his dog Cartman on walks by the river.

In honor of Levi and other military veterans and first responders, we — along with Cottage Grove CDJR — are committed to supporting our heroes, past and present.
