Luke was the baby of our family. From the moment he was born, he was a rough, tough, rugged boy. He had a fascination with big trucks. When he was little he loved to drive down the interstate and would get very excited when he saw 18 wheelers. He would start shouting big truck, big truck. As he grew older he developed a love for sports. He played many sports early on but baseball became his main sport. When he got into 7th grade he began playing football and quickly fell in love with it. He would go on to excel on the football field earning all district honors his junior and senior years and an athletic scholarship to play at the University of Texas Permian Basin. He became the kind of person who walked into a room and instantly commanded attention, not because he demanded it, but because his presence was impossible to ignore. Luke had a voice that was deep and calming. He was tough as nails both mentally and physically. He faced challenges head-on, never backing down from a fight and he overcame adversity time and again. Luke truly had a warrior mentality.
But beneath his rough, tough exterior lied a heart that surprised people. He was fiercely loyal, and when someone was in pain, he felt it too. There was a softness in the way he listened, an authenticity in the way he cared. Compassionate and empathetic, yet always up for a laugh or a little chaos, he was the kind of paradox that made life richer just by being around.
On July 3rd of 2024 our world would change forever. Luke suffered a massive stroke sometime during the early morning hours of that night. He was transported to the hospital where he fought for his life for 5 days. Luke went to be with the Lord on July 8th.
Luke is gone from this earth, but his legacy will live on forever. He was kind and generous. He loved the Lord, his family, and football. He was a loving son, brother, grandson, friend, and teammate. He was fiercely loyal and could not stand to see people he loved hurting or in conflict. The stories that Liz and I have heard from friends and family since his passing solidify that Luke was not everything we thought he was, he was everything we thought we was and more. If you have memories of Luke, please share them with us. All of the stories and the memories fill us with joy in the midst of sorrow.
