Lucas Ransom Obituary

LUCAS McKAINE RANSOM Lucas was born Dec. 5 1990 in Santa Ana CA and passed on Oct. 22, 2010 at Lompoc Surf Beach, Calif. Lucas is survived by his parents, Matt and Candace, Brother Travis, step brother Joshua, grandparents Charles and Joan Cram and a long list of extended family in California and Texas. Lucas grew up in Romoland CA., attended Romoland Elementary, graduated with honors from Perris High, where he excelled in swimming and water polo. He also swam for the club Elite swim team in Lake Elsinore CA. He was a third year student at the University of CA, Santa Barbara, majoring in Chemistry. Lucas was killed by a shark attack off Lompoc Surf Beach. He loved the water, and it seemed fitting The Lord took him from the water where he was having the time of his young life; body boarding in extremely large swells. The wisdom of God is not ours to ponder, but to accept. We pray for the serenity to accept the things we cannot change. He will be missed more than words express. A viewing will be held on Wed., 10/27 at 5:00 p.m. at St. James -Church in Perris, CA with a Rosary to follow at 6:00 p.m. and Funeral Mass at 7:00 p.m. A memorial will be at Evans Brown Mortuary in Sun City, CA on Thursday at 10:00am. In lieu of flowers, send donations to ATT: Stephanie Sorkin for Marcus Schlesinger: Maccabi USA Sports for Israel, 1926 Arch St. 4R, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

Candace, Matt and his Brothers Travis and Josh, I cannot imagine the pain you feel. I was so surprised to hear about Lucas tonight from a friend. I heard of the tragedy here in Centennial when it was reported on the news and I paused to pray for the family. Tonight I am more sad as I know Lucas is the Son of a good friend from my H.S. years. Matt I am praying for you and your family to have peace through your grieving.

To all of The Ranson Family: I will pray for continued peace in your hearts. I can't imagine the pain felt with your loss. I have seen you on the news and am astonished to see such great strength, yet I know it only comes from the Lord. Lucas will not only be remembered in California but all over the US including Grants Pass. I truly believe that the Lord will use your family to touch many lives just as your son had. I also pray that everyone around you experiences the love, peace, grace, and strength that I have seen in you by watching the news. In Christ's Love -Eva and family

Dear Matt, Candace, Travis and Josh,
We are so sorry about your loss. I have known Lucas since the first day that he came to Romoland Elementary; he was always an adorable child with a fantastic sense of humor and a contagious smile. To see Lucas was like seeing a ray of sunshine, always bright and warm. He always seemed to find the way to make everyone around him happy and loved. At Project Courage he was one of our helpers, best helper we ever had (Travis was one of our best helpers too) Lucas was always willing to help those children that required a lot of attention, and to them (those children) Lucas was their hero. Lucas will be miss immensely and it brings me to tears that such a bright young man was taken from this world, but then I have to think that God needed an amazing soul by his side to make all of his angels smile. Lucas, it was an honor knowing you son. God bless you and your amazing family during these hard times.
Love,
Lupe Yvonne Burke

To all of Lucas's family and friends. I was the librarian at Romoland Elementary/Middle school and knew Lucas and his family while the boys attended school there. He was a great kid and sounds like he was becoming a great man. He will be sadly missed and my condolences go out to you all. I will continually keep Lucas and his family in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
