TOMS RIVER, New Jersey -- A family is mourning a 18-year-old who was killed in a freak accident on a Jersey Shore beach Tuesday while on vacation with his family.in Toms River, while his 17-year-old sister was rescued.
"Levi was himself," dad Todd Caverly said in a statement Wednesday."He was odd. He was quirky. He was not really concerned with what others thought. He knew Jesus Christ. He was involved in the worship team at church, and was the drummer in a teen/young adult worship band. He was a tech nut and loved to program. The truth is that Scripture says that all our days are numbered. That there is nothing we can do to add a single hour to our life. He knew that.
The Toms River Police Department said Caverly and his sister were using frisbees to dig a 10-foot hole when it collapsed.They used buckets of water, ladders, bulldozers and other heavy machinery in their effort to free the teens.
