Lucas Wayne Columbus, 44, of Kiefer, Oklahoma went to be with the Lord on March 15, 2021. He is preceded in death by his parents Mike and Luanna Columbus of Kiefer, Oklahoma, grandparents Herbert and Martha Fox of Sapulpa, Oklahoma. He is survived by brothers Michael Columbus of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Aaron Columbus of Kiefer Oklahoma; niece Sheriah Fox of Sapulpa, Oklahoma; nephew Josiah Columbus of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and numerous aunts and uncles and his dog Hershey.

Luke lived in Kiefer most of his life where he attended high school and graduated. He was an outstanding athlete for Kiefer High earning honors in baseball and football. He was the starting quarterback and pitcher where he made first team honors in each sport. Luke then went to play baseball for Carl Albert Junior College where he was also a starting pitcher. After his college days ended, he started to play softball, where he also excelled! He loved to play in tournaments every weekend whether it be slow or fast pitch softball.

In his younger days he was something special as he excelled in baseball usually playing in higher age groups. He played in the Dizzy Dean World Series when he was young as he had a blazing fastball as a pitcher and was outstanding at shortstop. Luke was a competitor as he would love to play the best as he was the best too. Luke loved playing ball with his brothers, uncles, cousins, and friends as he enjoyed that time of his life! Luke was an avid Sooner and Yankee’s fan he liked to watch Sooner games every weekend with family and friends. He let it be known that the Yankees were always the best team. Luke lived his life to the fullest, always made people laugh whether you understood him or not. Thank you for giving us 44 years of a joyous life with many great memories. Godspeed Lucas Wayne.
