Gary Levin Passed Away, Daughter Confirms

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL (Boca Post) — The daughter of Gary Levin has confirmed on social media that her father, Gary Levin, has passed away.

Gary Levin was reported missing last week after he was last seen doing a Lyfy pickup. His phone was reportedly turned off and his family then lost all communication with him. He was missing along with his red 2022 Kia Stinger. His vehicle was seen on traffic cameras all over Florida, and investigators had reason to believe Levin was in Okeechobee, FL.

Levin’s car was later found in North Carolina and the driver was arrested following a high-speed chase. The driver, Mathew Flores, a murder suspect out of Hardee County, was in Police custody.

Shortly after that arrest, a body was located in Okeechobee, FL. The Medical Examiner’s office has not yet confirmed the body’s identity; however, Levin’s daughter says it is her dad.

Levin’s daughter shared on Facebook, “My dad was truly a one of kind person, if you knew him or even met him once you know exactly what I mean when I say that. The stories I have received about him from friends, family and complete strangers over the last week have lifted me up more than you can ever realize.”
