Simon J. Levy

Cherry Hill, New Jersey

Simon Levy, 65, passed away peacefully at his home on February 4, 2026, surrounded by the family he loved so deeply, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Simon was the heart of his family and the backbone of Levy Construction, a third-generation, family-owned general contracting business. He took immense pride in carrying on the Levy name and believed deeply that doing things the right way mattered—whether that meant standing by his word, treating everyone with respect, or leading with integrity. To Simon, the men who worked alongside him were family. He was especially proud to mentor his son Josh, who will carry the business forward into its fourth generation.

Above all else, Simon was a devoted family man. He is survived by his beloved wife, Dever; his children Josh (and wife Jen), Sarah, and Hannah (and husband Jason); and his five cherished grandchildren: Sidney (5), Makenna (4), Cooper (3), Monroe (2), and Cameron (1). He is also survived by his brother Seth and sister-in-law Claudia.

Simon had a rare gift for bringing people together. Whether among family, friends, or coworkers, he made everyone feel welcome. He will be remembered for his sharp sense of humor, infectious laugh, and the warmth he brought into every room.

Strathmere held a special place in Simon’s heart, and his family will continue his tradition of gathering there—surrounded by laughter, love, and the people who mattered most to him.

Simon’s legacy lives on in the family he built, the business he nurtured, and the countless lives he touched through kindness, loyalty, and love.
