Steven Thomas Luker

You are not forgotten! A Mentor, Teacher and Friend. Steve taught me the value of an Education and the importance of Life and Family. Steve taught me never to hide behind the label of being hearing impaired and to strive to be the best. You will be missed! "Life is what happens while you are making other plans." John Lennon

I was one of Mr. Luker's students at Bountiful Junior High School in the early 1990s. He made sure that I understood all my classwork and that I received good grades. At Christmas time one year, he gave me a huge stuffed dog that has been passed on to my nieces and nephews to play with.
He helped me to succeed and be a better person because junior high was a tough time for a hearing impaired person! He was one of the many hearing teachers that helped to shape who I am today and not let...

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I went through the same program at the U of U as your dad. I remember many classes with him. None of us knew he had excellent art talent until one day we were trying to teach a deaf student what a walrus was. He finally walked up to the chalkboard and drew one. Best wishes...Brent

Jason and Mike,
I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your Father. He was truly one of the good guys!! I will always remember him trying to get me, a BYU fan, to sing the Utah fight song. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Jason, I also just heard about the passing of your Dad and am so sorry I missed the funeral. Steve was my scout master for a number of years and was always a positive influence in my life. He had an amazing way of making everyone feel comfortable when they were around him. He was always a great example of being a person with unconditional love for all. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.

Luker Family:

Mike & Jason, Steve was one of my greatest hero's. I first met him in 1st grade and he worked with me until my softmore year in High school. He would share stories about you two playing football and how well you guys played in your games. I always wanted to meet you two. I have thought much about Steve in the years that have past and I will always have fond memories of his warmth and kindness to me as one of his students. I don't know if Steve ever told you about me,...

Jason and Mike,
We were saddened to hear of Steve's death. We knew Steve and Sally when we both lived on Chadwick St. in Sugarhouse. We both had a Old English Sheep dog and loved having them as neighbors and friends. It has been many years since we ran in to Steve. He was a great man and friend. May you have peace in your heart at this time to help you endure missing him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Jason and Mike,
I just barely heard about your Dad and apologize for not being at the services it was already too late. I have great memories of chatting with your Dad when we were younger. He always had a great attitude for life even with the challenges he faced. Take care of yourselves and your family.

As we miss the people who pass on, we look around and realize how important eveyone we have met impacts us. Mike you are like family to me, and our family! Our love for you is unconditional! My sympaythy's through this time. Kym
