Obituary of Levon K. Irons
Levon K. Irons, 31, of Ulster, PA, passed away at his home on Sunday, December 1, 2019 after losing his battle with addiction from dealing with his ongoing struggles with PTSD.
He was born on January 14, 1988, in Sayre, PA, the son of Kenneth and Tammy Brown Irons.
Levon was a Veteran of the US Army, serving both in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was a recipient of the Purple Heart. Upon returning from the war, Levon struggled with his experiences while serving in the military. Although, Levon was unable to overcome his ongoing issues, his family desires that anyone that has served their country would seek help and never be ashamed of what you are going through.
He was a brilliant musician and loved being part of the musical industry. He had an amazing sense of humor, and his smile and laughter could light up a room the moment he walked in. He loved his nieces and nephews, and his dog, Logan and his cat.
He is predeceased by his paternal grandfather; Francis Johnston.
