Luke went home to be with the Lord on Friday, March 25th, due to a tragic car accident. He was born November 8th., 1980 in Forsythe, Montana. He attended Lakeside High School in Nine Mile Falls and graduated from Kennewick High School in 1999. Luke worked as an in-home caregiver for Addus Health Care at the time of his death.
A son, brother and a terrific father, Luke was a man of many talents. Drawing was a passion and he was currently pursuing a degree in art. He especially loved being a father to his son Tony, playing basketball with his brothers and spending time with his family.
Luke is survived by his son Anthony, Anthony's mother Stephanie, parents Gary and Anita Skinner of Nine Mile. Brothers: Trevor and Aurora from Billings, MT; Kyle and Michelle from Kennewick and Corey from Cheney. Nieces: Erin, Abby, Katie and Saige. Nephews: Zak, Kaleb, and Ethan.
Luke will be remembered for his contagious smile, bear hugs and his quick wit. Celebration of his life will take place at Suncrest Family Worship Center in Nine Mile Falls, April 2 at 11:00 am. A luncheon will be served immediately following the service.
Memorials may be sent to Anthony Skinner, 13315 Meadowview Lane, Nine Mile Falls, WA 99026.

Dear Anita and Gary,

It is so hard to believe that Luke has been gone since 2011. I think about him often and our whole family talks about our love for him at each and every family gathering and the cherished memories he has left us with. As long as I am alive he will always be a cherished part of my life. God bless you and your family.

I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Luke was a good friend of mine. I will never forget going to Old Country Buffet with Luke and he would mound his plate with mac and cheese! We had many good times together and I will cherish those memories. He definitely had a big heart. I will miss you Luke.

Dear Anita and Gary,

I write with deepest sympathy and love for all of you and pray that God's loving arms will enfold all of you so that you may feel his peace and love in this time of loss and sorrow. Luke was a wonderful boy and grew to be an outstanding and loving man. He brought much joy to our family and we enoyed our family vacations so much more when he joined us at Jump Off Joe Lake Resort. He was there for me when I lost my Amber and reminded me that my daughter was with God and in a better place. He was best friend to both my sons, Michael and Ryan and never let them down in their times of need. I cannot express in words the ways he enriched all of our lives. There is a saying that God puts people into our lives and it is never for shallow reasons. God put Luke in our lives and he made us laugh, he made us feel loved and for this, I will forever be greatful that we had this opportunity to know him. He will truly be missed and there will never be a day when he will not be remembered in our prayers. He will always be remembered at our family vacations and gatherings. We will laugh at the funny things he did and talk about in wonder and awe of his talents and abilities. He is forever in our hearts and the legacy of his love will live on.

God Bless all of you in the Skinner family.

Love Michelle, Rudy, Michael and Ryan

Skinner family and especially Tony - So sorry for your loss. I knew Luke from high school and while he was popular and fun-loving, he was never rude, just seemed to enjoy being himself. I believe he is truly in a better place and it is only a matter of time before you can see and be with him again. Sincerest good wishes in the meantime. -Rita Fryer
