On May 8th, after a baseball game, Levi Whitton and his dad, Thomas Whitton, were in a car accident on their way home to Mount Pleasant. Sadly, both of them passed away.
Those who knew Levi were all looking forward to seeing him back after the baseball season.
Now, Levi’s mom and Thomas’s wife, Allison, are left to face this unimaginable loss while raising their two young daughters.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help with funeral costs and support the family during this difficult time.

Further, Revolution Combat Sports shared jis father, Thomas, was a good man who always supported Levi’s martial arts journey.
Thomas often talked with staff and other parents, sharing stories and enjoying conversations about history and the school’s symbolism, especially anything related to 1776.
The family has started a GoFundMe for funeral expenses and transitional support for the surviving family members, as Mom & wife Allison is left behind with 2 beautiful but young little girls. If you’re able to help thank you and if not please share if you can. I can’t imagine what she is going through now😔: https://gofund.me/309d9b28

Hug your loved ones, folks. You just never know. Rest easy, little ninja🙇♂️🙏
PS: I will not be sharing this news with the kids during classes next week. I believe this type of event is one that needs to be heard from a parent as they see fit for their child. If I’m approached with a question about it I will do my absolute best to steer them back to a family member but if that’s not possible I’ll handle the conversation delicately and generally and then notify the parents upon pick up so they can provide support and context as they see fit.
Rest in peace, Levi and Thomas. You will both be missed more than words can express.
