Luke Reed Obituary
Luke had an extremely compassionate heart for people. He loved helping and giving to others in need. One time he won a gun raffle that was raising money for a lady that was ill in the community. Instead of accepting the winning gun, he sold his ticket and gave the money to the person for which the raffle was being held. Luke was an avid Motor cross rider. When confronted by Coach Ferguson concerning playing football at Oak Hill, he simply said "I really like to ride my motorcycle", to which Coach said that he could do both. Luke again said that he really liked to ride his motorcycle. Luke was very mechanically inclined being able to disassemble and reassemble anything to make it work. He enjoyed flying and learning to fly airplanes with his grandfather as well as driving tractors and doing farm stuff. He loved operating remote controlled cars with his brother Lane.
