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.

To all who look at this site still I hope you have a good and peaceful 2009. Chris would have been in the thick of the celebrations and loved a good party as you all know….especially fancy dress! I was the same when I was younger and especially loved New Years Eve.The last New Year I spent with Chris was at the great 2006 party where it was a 70s theme.Chris got John and I to go with Sammi and him and we had a great time. I’m sorry for forgetting names…..I am senile…..Everyone was blotto and it was a couple of years since I’d gone out like that.Thanks for including John and I…I’m so glad we did…...things are different now and I still have a huge hole where Chris’s lust for life was…..We are doing what we can and I will always have Chris telling me to live life even though it’s not possible yet.Time may help. God Bless to all who have written me and love to all family and friends. Sionna and Rob the baby is beautiful…God Bless and happiness to you all…..Chris…...you are still the wind beneath my wings….my hero…......love mum xxxxx

Hi All,
For those who get follow up emails from this post I apologize that you have probably just received a number of emails that contain spam.
They will not cause you any problems and you can delete them when you get the chance.
The problem was caused by me changing a setting on the spam filter that momentarily let them all through. This won’t happen again.

Hey Chris, it’s getting to that time of the year again. The difficult time. To make matters worse we’ll both have to hold our breaths again as Leeds once more embrace the play-offs.
I want you to do me a favour mate. JB will be on his way up shortly. Please look after him and keep him out of trouble! I know what the pair of you can be like when you get together!
Thanks mate .......

Chris, I had a few moments to myself to try and understand the world in which we live - I don’t think I can ever understand it. But, I can remember…and the memories (albeit not as many as I would have liked)I have of you restore my faith, it’s people like you who brought so much light with them…just to be around you, you were truly so infectious…Even though my memories are few, I feel truly blessed to have known you… I love & miss you so much x x x x
Auntie Fran, I love you too. Thinking of you always x x x
