Braun's Story

Braun Levi was an extraordinary soul whose radiant energy touched everyone who knew him. A beloved Loyola High School tennis star, teammate, scholar and friend, Braun lit up every space with his warmth, joy, and unwavering generosity. Known for his trademark smile, compassionate spirit, and quiet leadership, he made every practice, match, or gathering more meaningful by being fully present and deeply supportive of others. Just months before his passing, Braun and his family lost their home in the Palisades Fire, yet he remained resilient and positive, continuing to inspire those around him with his strength and optimism.

His life was tragically cut short at just 18 by an alleged drunk driver, yet his impact endures. The Live Like Braun Foundation—created by his family in his memory—carries forward his legacy by celebrating Living Like Braun- spreading joy through charitable donations, drunk driving awareness and scholarships that reflect the values he lived by: kindness, courage, and love.
