The owner of an I-Drive attraction from which a man fell to his death on Christmas Eve said the Sky Trail ropes course would remain closed during the investigation into the deadly accident.

Robert Belvoir, 52, was on the Sky Trail — a series of rope bridges, ziplines and and other challenges high atop the floor of the Artegon Marketplace — when he fell from a height of 30 feet.

Sky Trail owner Jim Liggett said his company was fully cooperating with investigators.

"On behalf of everyone at Sky Trail, our heart goes out to the family," Liggett said Friday. "The Sky Trail course will not be open until we find out the cause of the accident."

Neighbors remembered Belvoir as an avid race car driver with a heart of gold. They said he was with his daughter at the Artegon Marketplace, formerly known as the Festival Bay Mall, as an early Christmas outing.

State and local agencies were still working Friday to figure out what went wrong on with Belvoir's safety harness that caused him to fall to his death Wednesday evening.

Belvoir's 25-year-old daughter reportedly completed the course  just moments before her father fell. He was rushed to Dr. Phillips Hospital, where he died later that night.

In Belvoir's Belle Isle neighborhood, friends young and old were still in shock Friday.

"He was one of the first neighbors we met when we moved into this neighborhood," said Matthew Echegaray, a young man who would often go to talk to Belvoir when he would see him across the street, working on his race car.

Echegaray said he was stunned when he got the news of Belvoir's death.

"Honestly, I just called my friend and started crying," said Echegaray. "He was such a good person. I've known him since elementary school."

Doors away, we found Dan Ciaponi, who said he used to race in autocross events with Belvoir.

"A very competitive racer," said Ciaponi. "He and I would really go at it on the track. But off the track, he was a fantastic guy to be around."

Ciaponi said the loss is being felt throughout the neighborhood. He says the tragedy is compounded by the fact that Robert's daughter actually witnessed the accident.

"We'll say God bless to his daughter and Godspeed to Robert, because we'll definitely miss him," Ciaponi said. "He was a good guy, a really good guy."

Members of Belvoir's race club, the Martin Sports Car Club, posted a message online requesting that Robert's car, No. 79, be retired as a tribute.

The Sky Trail opened in November with the Artegon Orlando Marketplace.
