Luke was born March 2, 1982 in Corvallis, Oregon to Janet Lee (Barnett) and Eugene Russell Morrow. Shortly after, the family moved to Newport, Oregon, where his father was a football coach for a continuing 50 plus years.
Luke went to school between Newport, North Bend and ended up graduating from Marshfield in 2001. He was an outstanding athlete and quarterback of the football team. After graduation, in November of 2001, he married Bradi. Luke and Bradi had their first and only son Bodhi Rae Morrow who was born in March of 2002.
Luke was an extremely talented man with the ability to learn anything he put his mind to. He drove heavy trucks, heavy equipment and was one heck of a salesman. Luke worked in the Flooring industry for the majority of his career and excelled while doing so. In August of 2016 Luke and Bradi welcomed Teagan Gene Morrow; born August 4th. Although Luke and Bradi were no longer a couple, they continued to raise their children together. Luke's two children were his entire world.
He enjoyed and excelled in various sports and activities such as: snowboarding with his children, rock climbing with his daughter, hiking, and traveling. He enjoyed taking his children to Disney World and Hawaii, just to name a few. Luke was fortunate to meet a beautiful woman named Sarah, that made him incredibly happy. Luke and Sarah had recently been to Thailand and Mexico and at one point had plans to head to the Philippines.
Luke loved his family and children. He was a loving and doting father and he will be so gravely missed.
Luke is survived by his two children, Bodhi Rae Morrow and Teagan Gene Morrow of North Bend, Oregon; mother, Janet Golbek of North Bend, Oregon; sister, Misty Richcreek and her husband, Donny; niece and nephew, Max and Molly Richcreek; sister, Geni Morrow and her husband, Charlie; cousins, Ali, JT, Casey Jo and Alyssa; aunt, Donna and cousin, Sarah; aunt, Cathy and cousins, Stephanie and Warren of North Bend and the Portland area; aunt, Renee her husband, Scott and cousins, Ryan and Rob of Newport, Oregon; as well as various other cousins and second cousins.

Luke was a good friend. He always wanted to make sure everyone was taken care of. He always knew how to talk to light up a room and make everyone feel great.He would strike up conversations with people he hardly knew talking to them like he´s known them for years. I remember dancing with Luke whenever his favorite songs came on when we were together or how he liked to order big orders of Taco Bell. His laugh will always be something I cherish. Rest easy luke

I didn´t know Luke Morrow well, but what I remember most is the quiet kindness he extended especially being the new kid in North Bend. There was a camaraderie that came with sports-an unspoken agreement where everyone, even the outsiders, had a place. I never once felt uneasy around Luke.

I´ll never forget a simple moment in PE class, playing hoops. Somehow, the conversation turned to touching the rim. Instead of doubting me, assuming my height would be a limit, Luke said, "You can probably touch the rim." His belief in my ability, a stranger´s belief, made all the difference. It wasn´t just about basketball-it was about seeing potential rather than limitations.

We could use more people like Luke in this world, people who see the good in others, even when they´re unknown. Although I may have moved away from Oregon and we lost touch, I hope Luke carried that belief with him throughout his life. The world needs it now more than ever.

What a gift it is to know Luke. I met Luke in 7th grade and was lucky enough to have him as a close friend 30 years later. Back then, we used to cruise around town in his Honda, but our favorite thing was to take a road trip to Eugene. Some of my favorite childhood memories are from that time. Luke loved to talk about his next great travel adventure and of course, the love of his life - Sarah. I will miss his incredible beaming smile and his humor. He was always bragging about his kids and loves them infinitely. Sending all my strength and love to his family and friends.
