Our prayers go out to Brielle, Scott, Lance and the rest of the family. I met Luke when I worked at Chesapeake Controls and loved his "No Filter" way of getting his point across. He had such a great attitude, work ethic and saw the fun side of everything.

Luke, you were my friend, hunting and fishing buddy, and my son. You always made me proud of the wonderful man you had grown into. You were smart, creative and extremely innovative. You were always good for a laugh whether it was at your expense or the demise of another on the receiving end of a prank. Life will never be the same without you and you are truly missed. I will remember and love you forever (unless I end up with Alzheimer's) The Lord bless thee and keep thee, the Lord make his face shine upon thee and give thee peace.

I am forever in debt to the fact that I was the daughter of such a wonderful father who had always put me and others before himself. I feel as thou he is still watching over all of us. My father has contributed so much to my life and many others, Scott, Cheyrl, Leona, Sonja, And Myself took it hard, It is not easy to let someone this important go. My thanks to all of you that have been such a support to my family in such dreaded times. Luke would not want all of us to be sad because of this, he wishes for us to celebrate his joining to God. We all know now that he is know in better hands the when he was in ours. Again thank all of you for helping us out in time of need.

Rest in Peace
Luke Dale Engebretson

All the way back to 1997. Maybe earlier, who can remember? Luke was a great dude, who worked hard, played hard, loved his friends and family, and I owe my life to him for waking me during a house fire.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to Lance and family, and to Brielle. Wishing you all strength and peace.

Cheryl and Scott, please know that my heart aches for you both. There are no words that can express the impact of Luke's death. Losing a child hurts to the very core of a parent's being. I pray that God will provide comfort and healing through your grief for the hours, days, weeks, months and years to come.
