Happy Birthday, Dear Phillip.

We all love you and miss you terribly. That you are not here with all of us is still a complete and unexplainable shock. Your warm smile, tone and presence will always remain.

You made us all very proud of you with your excellent and dedicated work. You reached your determined goal to serve your country as Secret Service Special Agent Lebid.

May your Mom, Dad, your sister Nicole, your brother David, your Grandparents and all of your relatives and friends be strong and healthy. We have all been blessed to know and love you.

God bless you.

Happy Birthday Phil! Wish you were here to enjoy it and spend time with your family and friends.

Phil, so many people loved and cared about you and you have touched so many lives, including my own. You had so much love to give and share, and by looking at all the reflections that have been left, it looks like you did not have a hard time sharing it; which does not surprise me :)!

Always missing you!

I was searching the web in regards to police information and I came upon a site with fallen officers. I saw your picture and I immediatley thought of some of the officers up here I have had the priveledge of working with. You were so young-only two years older than me. To your family-I am so deeply sorry for your loss of a son who can in no way ever be replaced. You will all be in my prayers. I know that this first Christmas was so hard. If I can do anything for you during this time-please let me know. To his friends, fellow agents, and former police colleagues-It must be so hard for all of you who lost such a great person. I am praying for you as well. May you always remember and aspire to be an agent or police officer the way he was. To have a love for people to do the job that he did is the greatest honor to his memory you could give. I am so proud of the men and women in our country who live to serve others so that others may have a better chance at life. Agent Lebid-you will not be forgotten. Your family, friends, and fellow colleagues will make sure of that. Go now and rest forevermore.

I never met Agent Lebid, but I visit this site every now and then to see what's going on. When I read the story, it brought a tear to my eye. Such a young man, so accomplished, with so much going for him. It's hurts when something like this happens. I come back often now, and always go right to Agent Lebid's reflections, I just can't seem to get him off my mind. Like I said I don't know you Agent Lebid, but you have definitely left a mark in my heart. To your family and freinds, my heart goes out to you, try to stay strong in this rough time. To Agent Lebid, Rest in Peace.

Phillip,
Your smile lit up the world. I don't think that you knew how great you were. Whether I had not seen you in a day or a year things were always the same. My heart goes out to your family in this time of grief. You lived your dream and most people no matter how old ever do that. In the last few weeks, I have thought about the times we had and I will always cherish how wonderful every encounter was. Until we meet again, rest well sweet Phillip.

Agent Lebid, Our prayers are with you and your family. Rest Easy Brother !

I am very saddened to hear of the loss of Agent Lebid. His dedicated and distinguished service to a proud organization, the US Secret Service and more importantly, to our great nation is deeply appreciated. My condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. He now stands a watch in Heaven with St. Michael. God bless and be safe out there brothers and sisters.

Phillip

Where do I begin? It has been almost three weeks since we lost you, and it feels like just yesterday. Everyone who knew you, whether for 30 minutes or 30 years, loved you. My heart is broken and may not ever heal completely. I think of you so often, and of your mom and dad, David and Nicole. And, although I never got to meet Shannon, I think of her and pray she will heal in time. I hope they are all finding some peace, but feel it will be a very long and painful journey. You are missed and loved more than anyone can ever describe. The legacy and the memories you have created for those who love you will live on in our hearts forever. Sometimes I forget that you are really gone, and go to call you or e mail you and remember, you are somewhere else, somewhere happy, safe and looking down on all of us, as our very own guardian angel. Heaven is a better place because you are there, and earth is a little bit lonelier. I look forward to seeing you again one day, but until then, know, I will always love you and your family, no matter where the future will lead us. Take care sweet Phillip, rest well, your duty here is done.

You will never how much you meant to me! Sometimes I think you're still here. You were the greatest man I've ever come to know and in my heart you will always be.

St. Michael, Heavens glorious Commissioner of Police, who once so neatly and successfully cleared Gods premises of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional eye on your earthly force.
Give us cool heads, stout hearts, hard punches, an uncanny flair for investigation and wise judgment. Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores, strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, St. Michael, from your own experiences with the devil that the police officer's lot on earth is not always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.

And when we lay down our nightsticks, enroll us in your Heavenly Force, where we will be proud to guard the throne of God as we have been to guard the city of men.

I miss you friend, we will never forget.
God speed Phil...

I met Phil Lebid for the first time on the morning of his untimely accident.

It was immediately clear that this young man was blessed with the qualities that make a fine human being and law officer: integrity, honesty, enthusiasm, commitment and compassion.

I believe that he would have had a fine and distinguished career, had he been allowed to stay with us on this earth for longer.

It was an inspiration to have met him.

May God give strength to his family at this time.

Dear Phil, I can still remember the day you tried out for the Team. You were so motivated! At the end of the day you had excelled in all the standards. From that day on you made a mark on yourself: A hard worker, eager to learn, very dedicated and loyal and most of all a true friend! Every search warrant, every callout and each training day, you were the first one there, getting all the equipment ready. Everyone could count on you. You were, (and still are), a role model for every SWAT operator now and ever will be assigned to the Fort Myers Police Dept. SWAT Team. Besides being the best officer I have ever known, you were a great friend. The laughs, the tall tales and all the experiences we shared I will never forget. I am proud that I had the opportunity to share in these moments! Most of all, I am honored that you called me your friend! You will never be forgotten. You will always be remembered as the Best of the Best. Fallen Brother, go in peace and love. Semper Paratus!

I first met Phil at the wedding of an agent/former police officer. My first impression was 'what a magnetic personality'. I was pleased to learn that Phil had applied with our agency and was especially pleased when he was assigned to the Tampa office. Phil was such a good, hard working, conscientious, and competent agent. Everything he did, he did well. He was a supervisors dream. More importantly, he was loving, kind, and compassionate. He made everyone feel good and immediately endeared himself to the office. Phil could always be counted on and had a stellar career ahead of him. The day he was killed I spent two hours with him helping on an interview in a million dollar fraud case. I will always treasure those two hours. One hour after our interview he was gone and the shock we felt does not seem to go away. Our building security guard said that on Phil's last morning he said how much he loved the job. I trust, that a big part of that job was knowing there was an extended family that appreciated you and will miss you greatly. At his funeral a large contingent from Phil's agent training class flew in from all over the country to pay their respects. The Fort Myers Police Department did such a spectacular job in taking a lead in Phil's funeral. For that we are so grateful. Phil, in your short life you left a proud legacy.
