Luke Daniel Schemmel, a compassionate, spirited, and funny soul, was born on the beautiful Vashon Island, WA on May 14, 1989. His thoughtful nature and infectious laughter will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Luke's life was a testament to his love for the outdoors, his family, and the simple joys of life. He was a resident of Tacoma, Washington, where he brought joy and laughter to his community for the past four years.
Luke was a man who knew how to appreciate the beauty of nature. His love for outdoor activities like golfing and hiking allowed him to embrace the tranquility and serenity that the environment offers. His adventures in the great outdoors were always filled with a sense of wonder, and he had a knack for making every journey memorable. Luke's love for his family was profound. The bond he shared with his parents, Mark and Sara Schemmel, reflected his big, loving heart. He was a beacon of light in their lives, and his unique sense of humor brought joy and laughter into their home especially for his sisters Eva and Marla.
Luke's memorial service will be held on Sunday, May 18, 2025, at 12:00pm PDT at the Newell-Hoerling's Mortuary, located at 205 West Pine Street, Centralia, Washington, 98531. The service will be an opportunity for those who loved Luke to come together and celebrate his life. His spirit, laughter, and love for life will live on in the memories of those who knew him.
We invite all who knew and loved Luke to share their memories and upload photos to his memorial page. Let us celebrate Luke's life by sharing moments of joy, laughter, and love that we shared with him. Through our shared stories and pictures, we can keep his beautiful spirit alive and shining.
