Christie Leverette celebrates and cherishes each moment with her family
Christie Leverette’s heart overflows with gratitude and love for her family. She treasures the time spent with them. Known for her role in Buried Alive and Survived, she often shows her appreciation for her folks with sincere posts on social handles on special occasions.
For instance, on Mother’s Day of 2018, Christie popped a picture of her mom, Katrina Harkins, and her grandmother online. The caption said,
Happy Mother’s Day to the world’s best mommie and grandma! I am so blessed to have them in my life!
Similarly, on 2017’s Father’s Day, she threw up a throwback snap with her dad, Drennon Leverette, plus a clip of him having a chuckle. The message she attached read,
The older I get the more I appreciate how much of a blessing it is to have my dad in my life.
She jokingly added,
You still ugly tho. Love you!
Christie’s uploads are special, more than the usual festive shout-outs. She shared a picture with her mom and grandma on the day she graduated. In the caption, she even called her mother her “twin.”
These snapshots and texts show appreciation for her family’s unwavering support and influence on her journey. With every single shout-out, Christie gives props to the solid ground her family has set up, showing off how close they are.
Leverette’s mom, Katrina, is a coach, and her dad, Drennon, loves biking with his crew
Christie’s mom, Katrina Harkins, is pretty important in her world. Professionally, Katrina is a super supportive coach and has snagged the title of track and field state championship coach four times; she rocks it as a personal trainer.
Like Christie, her mother always posts stuff about her life on Instagram, tossing in her love for sports and her family. Katrina doesn’t just stick to coaching though; she runs this business called TTFN Timeless Treasures that hooks people up with custom-made clothes, shiny medals, and all kinds of squirt gear. Her shop’s big on giving people top-notch stuff without making their wallets cry.
Drennon Leverette, Christie’s dad, may not be all over social media, but he’s still a big part of her world. You can’t peek at his Instagram because it’s private, but you can catch glimpses of his biker vibes on his Facebook from back in the day.
The guy’s big into motorcycles and loves to hit the road with his squad, always on the lookout for new adventures. Similarly, Christie’s father completed his education at C.L. Harper High School, attending from 1981 to 1986.
Both Katrina and Drennon are like her personal cheer squad, throwing a whole lot of love and guidance her way. So, they’ve had a big influence on the things Christie holds dear and what she’s fired up about on her path.
Christie Leverette’s younger brother is skilled in finance and healthcare systems
Christie Leverette and her younger brother, Drennon “Kris” Leverette, share a close bond. One can see it all over Christie’s social media because she has been sharing clips and snaps of them hanging out, like when they visited Paris in 2019.
Also, back in 2017, she got all mushy in a post and called him the “best brother in the world.” In a similar vein, Christie shared a heartfelt message on Instagram on his 24th birthday in 2016. Her brother was born on August 11, 1992, and she wrote,
“Everyone please wish my baby brother @krisleverette a very Happy Birthday!!!! We getting old! I thank God all the time for blessing me with you as my brother!”
She further wrote,
“Hope 24 brings so many new blessings and ventures! Love you! Don’t turn up too hard lol.”
Kris made a name for himself in finance and medical management. He kicked things off in May 2015, landing a job as a CDC Undergraduate Public Health Scholar at the CDC. Before the year was out, he snagged another opportunity at Cerner Corporation, taking charge as a billing manager. He sharpened his expertise there for a solid three years.
Next up, Kris grabbed the title of Senior Revenue Cycle Consultant at Washington Regional Medical Center. He was there from September 2018 all the way to February 2024. These days, he’s all in at Netsmart crafting solutions as a financial solution architect.
Additionally, Christie’s brother, known on Instagram as The Kc Investor, posts tips about money and company stuff. His LinkedIn says he’s working on a PhD at the University of Kansas. Likewise, he’s got a Master’s in Finance and Economics from West Texas A&M and a Health Sciences undergrad degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
