Georgia, US — It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Levi Meeske, CPP, a respected professional, beloved friend, and cornerstone of Georgia’s payroll and business community. Levi’s passing marks the loss of not only a dedicated colleague but also a mentor, leader, and trusted confidant whose influence reached far beyond his workplace and professional affiliations.

Those who had the privilege of knowing Levi remember him as a man of remarkable integrity, warmth, and dedication. His passion for his work in payroll and compliance went hand in hand with his unwavering commitment to the people around him. As a Certified Payroll Professional (CPP), Levi earned the respect and admiration of peers across the state and beyond, becoming a steady source of knowledge, encouragement, and guidance within the field. His colleagues describe him as someone who approached every challenge with thoughtfulness and every conversation with kindness.

Levi’s presence within the American Payroll Association (APA) and its Georgia chapter was nothing short of foundational. He was a driving force behind numerous initiatives, always striving to elevate professional standards, support continuing education, and foster a sense of community among payroll practitioners. His colleagues recall that Levi never sought recognition for himself — instead, he focused on helping others grow, ensuring that the profession he loved would continue to thrive.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Levi will be remembered most for his humanity — his ability to connect with others on a genuine level. Whether mentoring a newcomer, offering a listening ear to a friend in need, or lightening the mood with his signature wit, Levi carried a quiet strength and compassion that left a lasting mark on everyone he met. Friends and peers have shared countless stories of his generosity, humility, and unwavering positivity even in challenging times.

His passing has left an irreplaceable void in both his professional and personal circles. Messages of grief and remembrance have poured in from colleagues, chapter members, and friends across the country, all expressing deep appreciation for Levi’s leadership, mentorship, and friendship. One tribute described him as “the heart of every room he entered — steady, kind, and always the first to lend a helping hand.”

In addition to his professional excellence, Levi was deeply devoted to his family and friends. He cherished time spent with loved ones, and those closest to him will forever remember his laughter, his insight, and his unwavering loyalty. His life was one defined by service — to his community, to his profession, and to the people he cared about most.

As the Georgia payroll community mourns his loss, it also celebrates the incredible legacy Levi leaves behind. His contributions will continue to inspire and shape future generations of professionals.
