This is a tragedy for the University of Central Florida, Orlando, and the nation. Our hearts go out to all the victims and their families.<\/p>\n<p>UCF alumnus Christopher Andrew Leinonen, called Drew by his friends, was a victim of this hateful act. Drew graduated from UCF with a B.A. in psychology in 2007 and a M.S. in clinical psychology in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Drew was an advocate of support and respect. He started his own chapter of the Gay Straight Alliance at his high school in an effort to promote an open and supportive environment. He worked as a licensed mental health counselor to support those in need.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/psychology.cos.ucf.edu\/people\/cassisi-jeffrey\/\">Jeffrey Cassisi, Ph.D., <\/a>Chair of the <a href=\"https:\/\/psychology.cos.ucf.edu\/\">UCF Psychology Department<\/a>, immediately recognized Drew\u2019s supportive nature while he was a student.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrew was in the program when I first started at the UCF Daytona regional campus,\u201d explained Dr. Cassisi. \u201cHe welcomed me with such openness and support. He was such a happy, low key, and good student.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drew made a lasting impact on all those he worked with in the UCF Psychology Department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember Drew very well as a kind and caring individual, soft spoken, bright and intuitive, and well loved by his classmates,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/psychology.cos.ucf.edu\/people\/berman-steven-l\/\">Steven L.

Valdelamar remembers countless car rides with Drew filled with singing and laughter. She said he never failed to bring the class together with his upbeat attitude.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrew\u2019s soul is energetic, hilarious, smart, sassy, witty, and not to be reckoned with. I am happy I got to know him and spend time with him,\u201d said Valdelamar. \u201cI feel even luckier that I got to call him a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drew influenced all those around him with his positive attitude. UCF psychology lecturer, <a href=\"https:\/\/psychology.cos.ucf.edu\/people\/kennerley-margaret\/\">Margaret Kennerley<\/a>, worked closely with Drew and will always remember him by the incredible passion he maintained.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17950\" style=\"width: 326px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17950\" class=\"wp-image-17950 \" src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/07\/Drew-and-classmates-300x165.jpg\" alt=\"Drew and classmates\" width=\"316\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/07\/Drew-and-classmates-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/07\/Drew-and-classmates-299x165.jpg 299w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/07\/Drew-and-classmates.jpg 548w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17950\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Drew and his classmates in the UCF Psychology Department<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cDrew was a very open,\u00a0optimistic and happy person.\u00a0He welcomed everyone he met with open arms and accepted everyone for who they were,\u201d said Kennerley.<\/p>\n<p>Kennerley described Drew as a highly motivated student who bonded easily with his classmates and was\u00a0truly a delight to have in class.<\/p>\n<p>Drew desired to be of help to the LGBTQ community.\u00a0This desire drove him to do well in school and shone a bright light through Drew that had a lasting impact on those around him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe attributed his openness and pride in his gay identity to his mother&#8217;s life long support of him,\u201d explained Kennerley. \u201cHe wanted others to experience the freedom to be who they are. The freedom he was given by his mother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drew was a strong supporter of gay rights and never faltered in his belief that gay marriage would become legal during his lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, he got to see that happen, but he lost his freedom before he was able to marry his boyfriend. I am completely heartbroken by his death,\u201d said Kennerley.<\/p>\n<p>The acceptance and love that Drew stood for was evident at his memorial service. A combined service was held for Drew and his boyfriend, Juan Ramon Guerrero, a UCF pre-finance student who was also killed in the attack.<\/p>\n<p>Anti-gay protesters stood outside of the packed church full of grieving friends, family, and supporters. Hate did not win, however,\u00a0as the vile protestations were met not with anger, but with chorus after chorus of \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d as sung by 500 individuals determined to make sure that love would win.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals wearing large angel wings lined side-by-side in front of the protesters to create a barrier between them and those entering the church. This example of conquering hate with love and respect is what Drew represented.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17954\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17954\" class=\"wp-image-17954 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/07\/Amazing-Grace-Angels-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"Amazing Grace Angels\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/07\/Amazing-Grace-Angels-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/07\/Amazing-Grace-Angels-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/07\/Amazing-Grace-Angels-1024x615.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/07\/Amazing-Grace-Angels-299x180.jpg 299w, https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2016\/07\/Amazing-Grace-Angels.jpg 1665w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17954\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of John Raoux \/ AP<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe \u2018angels\u2019 completely blocked the sight and sound of the protesters,\u201d explained Kennerley. \u201cWe could only hear voices singing Amazing Grace.
