Levi Faber, 43

Levi Baza Faber (43), resident of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, passed away April 3, 2024, at his home. He was born to Michael Sr. and Theresa Faber on Aug. 4, 1980, in Coeur d’Alene. Levi grew up in the Plummer and Desmet, Idaho, areas and spent time in Pendleton, Ore., and Metlakatla, Alaska. He attended the tribal school in DeSmet through his sophomore year before attending the rest of his schooling in Coeur d’Alene, obtaining his GED at North Idaho College in 1999.

Following high school, Levi went to work for Burger King, spending a few years there, and then onto Jack in the Box. Wherever he worked, he was always a cook. He wanted to attend culinary school but never had the opportunity to. However, he was taught by some of the best sous chefs at the Coeur d’Alene Casino. He was a talented cook with a specialty of fry bread. Levi spent time working at the Circling Raven Golf Course along with the Red Tail. He also spent time cooking in retirement homes and the resort on Hayden Lake. 

Levi enjoyed having a good time, and his sense of humor was pretty witty. He enjoyed watching movies, but he definitely had a love for WWF and WWE wrestling. Levi might have been an older soul; he loved oldies music, and Elvis was one of his favorites. Attending concerts was also a hobby of his. Levi loved spending time with his family, specifically during holidays. If he wasn’t watching a movie or cooking for somebody, you could find him cheering on the Seattle Seahawks or Mariners. 

Levi is survived by his mother, Theresa Faber of Plummer, Idaho; Buckskin Wardlow of Toston, Mont.; siblings Waylon Faber of Wellpinit, Wash., Raven Faber of Plummer, Idaho, Michelle Stevens of Vancouver, Wash., Sabrina (Avery) James of Spokane, Wash., Renee Faber of Bakersfield, Calif., Kari Wardlow of Springdale, Wash., and Donelia Wardlow of Spokane, Wash.; numerous aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Michael Faber Sr.
