| John Levulis |
John was assigned to the 10th Mountain Division's 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team based at Fort Drum, New York.
On May 1, 2015, John and three other soldiers were travelling in a Humvee on the New Jersey Turnpike. They were part of a 12 vehicle military convoy. The men were travelling from Fort Drum in New York to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst which is 18 miles southeast of Trenton.
A car behind them tried to pass the Humvee, clipping it and sending it veering off the turnpike into a tree. The driver of the Humvee was thrown from the vehicle. All three passengers were injured.
John was rushed to a nearby hospital where tragically he succumbed to his injuries 6 days later.
Ramdel Magloire, age 43, of Hackensack, New Jersey, has been charged with reckless driving. A passenger in his car was also hurt in the crash.
John graduated from Eden High School in 2008, where he played basketball and lacrosse. He was proud of his hometown.
