Paul is survived by his loving wife Violet Rae Dewey Levie and children: Danny Levie, Shauna Duke (Jon), Michele Morris (James), Tonya Childers (Darel), Dewey Levie (Maribel), and Jamie Manrique.

Upon arriving in Phoenix, Paul’s first job was as a trust officer with a land and title company. He then served as Chief Civil Deputy for Maricopa County. Much of his work revolved around zoning litigation and he was soon hired by a major banking, zoning, and litigation firm. It was from these experiences that he gained a keen interest in real estate.

In 1983, Paul and Rae moved to Prescott, AZ where Paul developed real estate and he and Rae developed a love for Granite Mountain where they enjoyed a gorgeous view of the valley and mountains.

Paul had a strong testimony of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Over the years, he held many callings in his wards and stakes. As a young man, Paul served a mission for the church in Holland and in 1991, Paul and Rae served a mission together in Suriname, South America, where Dutch is spoken.
