David Maurice Levite

Our beloved David Maurice Levite, age 58, died peacefully at home with family in Mobile, AL on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025 after suffering a lengthy battle with complications due to Type I Diabetes.

David was born to Cheryl and Maurice Levite in 1966 and spent his earliest years in Mobile, AL before the family moved to the Washington, DC area. He enjoyed growing up in Old Town Alexandria, VA, attending school at St. Mary’s Catholic elementary school, St. Stephen’s school, and T.C. Williams High School. Throughout his youth David enjoyed participating in sports and activities such as soccer, rowing, sailing and the Scottish Saint Andrew’s Society where he made many lifelong friendships. David graduated from the University of South Carolina where he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, was a proud Gamecock, and a perpetual and enthusiastic supporter of their football team. David had a passion for his Scottish heritage, animals, and sailing, was exceptionally knowledgeable about antiques and history, and proudly practiced his strong Catholic faith. He was a devoted servant of the Lord, and his Catholic faith gave him strength throughout his life. David also humbly accepted the honor of being bestowed a Knight of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher. True to his generous nature, David pursued a career in non-profit fundraising and development. He was blessed to work for the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA for many years as Vice Chancellor and Chief Development Officer. He went on to serve as Executive Director of Development and Alumni Relations at Catholic University’s Columbus School of Law. Consistent with his generous spirit and his love of nature and animals, he also enjoyed working in various executive positions in support of the Audubon Society and the Humane Society, which were causes close to his heart. David enjoyed owning several sailboats throughout the years in Alexandria, VA, Annapolis, MD and Gulfport, FL and was always happiest on the water with friends.

David is preceded in death by his mother Cheryl E. Levite, and is survived by his loving father Maurice R. Levite, extended family and innumerable friends.
