Luke is also survived by a brother: Ben (Kalyn) Kaufman of Columbus; a nephew: Leo Kaufman of Columbus; maternal grandmother: Judy Morman of Columbus Grove; his two dogs: Murphy and Winston; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
He is preceded in death by a brother, Kyle Kaufman; maternal grandfather, Bob Morman; and paternal grandparents, Leon and Marilyn Kaufman.
Luke loved his dogs and playing online video games with his cousins and friends. So many knew Luke and to know him was definitely to love him. Luke was our hero. He showed us how to love, how to be strong and how to smile every day despite the turmoil life threw his way. He loved fiercely. His wit and charm made everyone smile. We'll miss him every day, but know he's without pain and with eternal happiness.
