Luke Gillin Obituary
July 8, 1995 – May 23, 2017
In his brief life, Luke Haley Gillin made friends easily and cared for them when they needed it. He was a fierce friend. His wit, intelligence, and honour made him a passionate and formidable debater on any issue that interested him, as his father will attest. His sense of humour, from clever jokes to corny puns made people laugh, especially his mother. His love of music and the making of it sustained him during difficult times and created friendships across the world. Luke passed away on May 23, 2017. His passing was peaceful and he is in a place without pain. He leaves behind his parents, C.T. "Terry" Gillin and Robin Haley-Gillin of Oakville; his grandparents, Natalie and Keith Haley of Roanoke, Virginia; aunts and uncles, Karen Haley-Wingate and Tal Wingate of Richmond, Virginia, and Mike Gillin and Pamela Newberry Gillin of Houston, Texas; as well as many cousins across North America. Visitation will be at Ward Funeral Home, 109 Reynolds Street, Oakville, on Thursday, June 1, 2017 from 2:00-4:00 and 7:00-9:00 p.m. A Funeral Service will take place on Friday, June 2, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Cuthbert's Anglican Church, 1541 Oakhill Drive, Oakville. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Riverwood Conservancy, a place he loved to wander, think deep thoughts and be at peace. Please Visit the Book of Memories at

Dear Lord Jesus, I thought I was reading a misprint which I just read today in the Toronto Star obituary section. I am deeply pained and saddened to learn of the loss of your son. I cannot fathom what emotions you feel, Mr. and Mrs Gillin. Perhaps our paths will cross soon in Ontario. Rest in Peace you sweet, precious boy. I will remember you well for such a brief, shining moment of life here on earth. Amen. With sincere condolences, Wanita Caroline Harris.

Luke, I loved talking to you, exchanging ideas and listening to your insights. When I visited the house to see my son it was not a complete visit for me unless you were home and we could chat. You impressed me with your understanding and insights into world and humanity in general. Matt just called and let me know of your passing. This has brought tears to my eyes. You will be truly missed.

Luke, I never knew you much to my regret. But, I know your mom; her heart, her compassion, her intelligence and wit. I imagine her traits in you, bold and strong; ever present, ever young. Memorialized for an eternity. Rest in peace, young man and know that you were loved.
