I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your son. No parent should ever have to experience such a devastating loss. Your family is in my prayers.

Luke was a fellow coworker of mine when we were both seasonal employees at Bodie Island Lighthouse. Although I mostly knew Luke only in a professional capacity, his kindness was a fond memory I carried with me after our season ended. I never met someone who loved the sun, sand, and surf as much as he did. I will remember him for his physical vigor, his endless kindness, and his sheer exuberance for new experiences, always. Rest easy, friend. You are deeply loved and deeply missed.

Although I do not know any of you and did not know Luke, I am so sorry for your loss. When someone so young leaves us, and suddenly,we are left in shock and wonder what just happened. Please know my thoughts and prayerful wishes are for and with you. May you be able to grieve in your own ways and times- No one can write the timeline for you. I know from experience.

Deborah and Jeff -

I have no words. Though I wish I did.

I remember Luke and his brothers from Little League. He was a good kid and a good baseball player. I'm sure that you were proud of the fine young man he became. I will add your family to my prayers.
