Our lives are tied together beyond the blood we share in our linage. We are fellow sojourners in this earthly experience. 

When we see your photo we see the strong genetics and family resemblances, to those of us who held and cherished your precious spark of spirit and life of adventure.

 I remember when our family anxiously awaited with expectation  your birth. I have often thought about when you and Craig were born. Our family was prospering  in this expansion and it was delightful to see. With every birth we matured and stepping into our new rolls as parents and our parents were honored to become grandparents.  I believe that in our anticipation and excitement each and everyone were nervous as well. With trembling hearts we transitions from children to parents and from parents to grandparents. 

Even with all our careful preparation's we were not prepared for all the wonder of your life. 

Your precious beginning left a permanent mark of joy, a forever  memorial in our lives.  In one special spoken moment, you became the abundant exaltation of SON, GRANDSON, BROTHER and NEPHEW.  Your joining into this complicated world,  gave us purpose. We  delight in this gift of "you".   You were completely from above. The evidences of this in, the sharing of your life energy creating a special blessing in our lives.

In the adventure of living, you have traveled ahead on a path we all follow.  One day we will sojourn with you again. It will be a happy reunion to see you at that point. 

For now you are in the embrace of the Father who lovingly holds you, his son. Anxiously awaited, joyously and preciously planned. He orchestrated your life and return. The perfection of the wisdom and care that culminated in your birth and life can only be  surpassed in this transitioning. You are in the presence of pure love and pure love requires nothing. 

With the greatest of love and blessings from the entire house of your family line.

Luke! WE WILL MISS YOU. May you rest in peace. 
I have known Luke for many years. He likes to show up unannounced  and disappear throughout  the years. But, for the past few years, I know where he has been. He's in Arizona at home with Keren. I have never seen him so happy. We have many memories together...the good and the bad. He called us family and that's what we are. Thanks Keren for loving him unconditionally and showing what families  are all about. 
Love, Annie M.

Dear Luke - 
Knowing you has been a crazy ride. I remember when your aunt's horse kicked me that one thanksgiving. I'll always remember our crazy car rides with Jade and Annie. I am happy that you got to meet Miles but I am sad that he won't get to experience his Uncle Luke. We will always love you and we will miss you. Wishing you a restful peace.

I’m very grateful Luke was brought into my family’s life. I met him when I was around 8 and he was the only person I knew who could banter with my sisters the way he did. He also introduced us to Jiblet and Toda 🖤 the first dogs I’ve loved. Luke was apart of many childhood core memories and will be dearly missed. May his soul rest in peace.

He would always update me with pictures and videos on what ever he was up to. I’m really going to miss you baby!!

My husband always was working on something! He never stopped.

He loved animals! We would have had a zoo eventually lol

These are the only pictures where we had the entire family in one photo - Easter 2023.

Luke became part of our family almost a year ago, and with him, our family was complete. We are at a loss that he is no longer with us. We will miss him at every family gathering, every time something significant happens - we will especially miss his funny commentary and amazing way he would lighten the mood.

Luke was more than just my friend I called him a  brother  although we didn't know each other for more than a few years after a matter of a few minutes it was clear to both of us that as Luke put it "we we're both cut from the same cloth" . Luke was one of the best friends I've ever had and I will miss him for the rest of my life . My heart goes out to anyone who had the pleasure of meeting Luke because he was such a great person that  I  know he will be missed dearly by all .
