Lukas Wiley Sandstrom

Sandstrom, Lukas Wiley Age 28, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at Elmbrook Memorial Hospital. Luke is the son of James and Susan Sandstrom and loved brother to Casey and Joshua. Cherished grandson to Elaine Sandstrom and Irma Jean Wiley. He brought much joy and happiness to his fourteen Aunts and Uncles and 20 cousins. Luke lived on Okauchee Lake and if he wasn't working he was fishing, hunting, or cooking. He was a very passionate fisherman be it open water or on the ice. There was no place he would rather be than fishing. Luke guided his father, friends and uncles to many trophy fish. He was always the one doing research as to where the next fishing hotspot would be or the latest and greatest lure. Luke was a sixteen year member of the Long Lake Deer Camp and was known as Cool Hand Luke to camp members. Everyone at camp looked forward to the many wonderful meals he would prepare for camp. Luke was a very accomplished chef and will be remembered for his rubs and marinades. His smoked meat recipes will never be matched even though he worked very hard to train his father in the art of rubs and smoking. Luke's family would like to thank Dr. Mike Schneider, the good men and women of the Elmbrook ER, the Froedtert Heart Failure Team and the Brookfield EMT's for all of their hard work and support. A visitation will be held at the Funeral Home on Friday, October 2 from 3 to 7 PM. Additional visitation will be held at St. John Vianney Catholic Church, Brookfield (1755 N. Calhoun Rd.) on Saturday, October 3 from 10 to 10:45 AM, followed by the Mass of Christian Burial at 11 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations in Luke's name to The American Heart Association. Luke's ability to light up a room and make people laugh will be greatly missed, but the stories and memories will forever live on.
