Luke Chambers Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He is survived by his parents, Patrick T. Chambers and Theresa A. (Bullock) Chambers; sister, Diane (Matthew) Weaver; brother, John (Bryant) Chambers-Smith; nieces, Claire Weaver and Emily Weaver; and his aunts and uncles. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Walter and Rita Chambers and maternal grandparents, Roy and Jane Bullock.
Luke graduated from Peoria High School, attended courses at Illinois Central College, and earned certificates of study from Oaksterdam University. He was employed at Northwest Confections Illinois (WYLD) in Pekin, IL. He had a particular talent for what is called Doodle Art by detailed and compacted pencil drawings. The family has some beautiful drawings for remembrance that will be shown at the celebration of life.
Luke's family was unable to find adequate heartfelt words for this obituary to describe his big heart and virtues, nor how those qualities will be eternally missed in their lives, so they will maintain them privately in their hearts, relying on those who knew him to already appreciate his deserving qualities.
Cremation rites have been accorded. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Wilton Mortuary on Saturday, March 2, 2024, between the hours of 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, friends and family are encouraged to visit www.thewiltonmortuary.com to leave a condolence, submit a photo, or share a memory of Luke.

Dear Terry, Pat, John and Diane,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. Luke was a sweet kid and I have fond memories of his smile at family gatherings. One Christmas, we were playing that gift exchange game where you give someone a gift and the next person gets to take that gift or pick one of their own from the basket of gifts. Most of them were "White Elephant" joke presents but we had bought a specific toy for Luke to receive since he was the only kid in the game. I can't remember how many times that gift was claimed and reclaimed before we managed to get it into Lukes' hands but I will always remember his big delighted smile and him saying thanks. God bless him and all of you. I will always remember that sweet kid. Uncle Paul Bullock

Pat and Terry
I am shaken to the core to hear of your son Luke's passing. I lost Adam, my oldest, thirteen years ago. There are no words to describe the horror of loosing a child. The void is like nothing we have ever had to endure and will never endure again. You both are remembered so fondly by the Coletta Family. Even after the law firm closed, Pat you continued to be a big part of our family handling all our legal matters, both estate planning and residential sales. Terry, you always had a smile for everyone. Again, I send my deepest sympathy in the loss of Luke. Your lives are forever changed and will never be the same again.
My love and hugs
