Chris
Christopher Paul Levitt
8/14/1977 — 5/6/2007, St. Andrews Tavern and Coed Football Team Mate. Rest in Peace.
Our world here in Orlando has been rocked this week by the very unexpected and wasteful taking of life.
We are all in mourning. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this difficult and painful time. He was, and will always be, one of the people you never forget. Many of us today are feeling emotions that are awash with shock, pain, hurt and sadness. Emotions that, in time, will be replaced with memories of a good friend and team mate.
Chris was a guy with character, a quick whit and a permanent smile. He always entertained with tales of his great adventures, of which there were many.
He will be sadly missed at the pub, and on the field, where he was always guaranteed to give 100% (and usually more!). Only one week ago he scored a cracker of a goal that he relived with us all many times, a goal that apparently would have ensured a trial for his beloved Leeds United.
And he was always there to back you up, whether on the pitch or elsewhere, we were always thankful for that. The whole St. Andrews Family of patrons, players, staff and friends mourn a great loss today, as do so many others who had the fortune to have Chris in their lives, rest in peace mate.
Please leave your thoughts, comments and anecdotes to our beloved and faithful team mate, friend and colleague. The one, and only, Chris Levitt.

What can we say but “we miss you every second”. There are no words. How can it be a year when you just left the room 5 minutes ago? Wherever you are you will be shining as you shined when you were with us here. You are loved and cherished and we know that you are watching over us as we look up to see you shining down. Soon we will be together singing “Marching on together” forever. Sleep in peace Chris, my darling boy. We love you and miss you so much that it is painful. You are in out hearts and souls always.How have we survived without your contagious, cheeky grin and those twinkling eyes…..barely.God Bless darling.
I’ll love you forever,I’ll like you for life,As long as I’m living,My baby you’ll be.
Love always your heartbroken mum and pop.

Tim, the kids and I took Bonnie with us to the church today. Bonnie and I went out to your resting place and sat and had a chat with you…but you know that; you were there. I hope you enjoyed her stories about having lunch and a cig with you at Hooters. Yes, Hooters. Why does that not surprise me? Big grin!
I just kept thinking of that infectious giggle and the way your eyes would squint up uncontrollably when something struck you as hilarious. Always a smile or a grin even while illustrating that self depractating sense of humor.
Everything has changed in our family….scattered pieces of ourselves left in rubble here and there. May 6th, 2007 fell on our world like a pane of thin glass, and a year later, nobody seems to be able to pick out all the little shards still left in each of us. I don’t think we ever will. You were part of us, and without you, life lost lots of the tiny bits of light that help make it liveable.
I miss you. We miss you. We pray for you with the kids every single night. Please watch over us from the clouds, protect us with your light, and reach down from heaven and help heal our broken hearts.
We love you.
Bec, Tim and the kids!!!!

A year ago since that dreadful day but there is not a day that goes by when you are not in my thoughts. I still think of when you took me to that night club and we laughed all night. You were so good at making everyone laugh. I miss you more every day and the pain doesnt ease.
Love you and miss you cousin

To Dear Chris
Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity of meeting you but I went to school with your Mum.
She is one of my best friends, and has been a support to me.
You were obviously very popular and loved (after reading your many messages) and are sadly missed by all. I do hope we get to meet one day -in the next world?
R.I.P Chris
Love from Angela&family;xx

It is coming up to THAT horrific time,although the almost year has been hell on earth.I do not know how we are still here but here we are. I still feel so lost and bereft about what happened to Chris….and Alicia .......innocent as it was ,a friendship…...I have had various pieces of advice ,none of which have helped as no one has experienced this exact,particular experience and horror as the other victims are other families loved ones so hence we all have different stories and horrors to try to ovecome…........ I have been seeing a phsycologist for a year and have had a mental breakdown(nervous breakdown). We try but things are still so far from what they were that we are in Limbo. Chris’s Memorial Mass will be on Tuesday, May 6th 2008 at 6.30 pm. being a leap year this year made this a day late.Monday the 5th will be the calendar year….........This time last year was a crazy time and then….........................God Bless you all for loving Chris…..........I love him so xxxxx
