Luke Anthony Rich

Luke A. Rich of Verona, WI, (formerly of Warwick, NY) passed away as a result of a motor vehicle accident on June 5, 2025, while travelling in California. He was 24 years old.
Born in Brooklyn, NY, on March 7, 2001, he was the son of Anthony and Erin (née Harvey) Rich.
Luke was a project manager for EPIC System in Madison, WI.
A family statement reads, "Luke is remembered for brightening up every room with his big smile, extroverted personality, and extraordinary sense of humor. He was so funny that he often made himself laugh. Furthermore, he was a brilliant man who applied himself to all his endeavors, accomplishing much in 24 years. Luke also sought after wisdom, and was a forever student, always wanting to learn about His Father's world. He fervently loved his family, extended family, and friends, and we all loved him back with the same zeal. Most of all, Luke's tender care of Zeb was beautiful to witness and will be sorely missed by all.
Luke, we miss you and have confidence in Christ that we will be reunited with you for eternity.
Romans 8:38-39, " For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."
