Luke Matthew Davis

Luke Matthew Davis The life that touched countless minds and hearts began for Luke Matthew Davis on October 1, 1979, when he was born to John Richard Davis and Marianne Griffen Davis in Tucson, AZ. Luke's father was the first graduating class through CDO High school and he came back to coach football and teach at his alma mater. The CDO football field played a huge role in Luke Davis' life. Luke, his sister, and mom spent countless Friday nights on this field, watching their father live his passion. Luke Davis would soon play on this field as well. During this time, his father was struggling with Multiple Sclerosis and he could not always make it down to the field to watch the games. However, he never missed watching Luke play. John would park his old truck up at Dennis Weaver Park and flash his lights to let Luke know he was still with him on that field. It turned out the CDO field would be in his life, beyond just high school. Luke had the pleasure of being able to work for the Northwest Explorer, as a sports reporter, where he made countless lifetime connections and had the opportunity to be on the CDO sidelines again, watching the magic happen, just as he did as a child. Luke graduated from CDO in 1998, and went on to receive his Bachelor's degree in Journalism in 2008 from U of A. Luke worked at Blue Fin Sea Food and Bistro for almost five years, while pursuing his dream of becoming a sports reporter. During Luke's journey through life he was lucky enough to meet Nicolette Loretta Homan. They met at On the Border, where they both worked in 2002. It was obvious to everyone around them that they were soul mates. Luke and Nicolette realized they loved each other within a couple weeks. He knew she was the one for him immediately. After a heartfelt proposal in 2006, Luke and Nicolette married a year later on September 15, 2007. Luke and Nicolette were two peas in a pod… their hearts truly beat to the same rhythm. Luke was never happier; he had found the deep, meaningful love that his he had witnessed between his mother and father. Nicolette was "his girl" forever and ever. Luke was such a rock to everyone around him. He was extremely close to his father . When John Davis passed away three years ago, it was a huge blow to his family. However, Luke never waivered in his calm outlook and approach to life. He was a huge support to his mother and sister during this time, all the while, working full time, going to college, and being an incredibly loving wonderful husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend. Luke Davis was truly an amazing man, he always had a smile on his face, and a hug to give. His hugs could make anything seem like it would be OK. Luke is loved so dearly by his wife, mother, sister, family, and friends. This world will not be the same without him. His smile brightened the hearts of all that were lucky enough to meet him. He was the best man in the world, and we will miss him with every fiber of our beings. He is survived by his forever smitten wife and soulmate, Nicolette Loretta Davis; his forever loving mother and sister, Marianne G Davis and Lane Michelle Davis; his parents-in-law, Kurt and Lori Homan; his brother and sister-in-law, John and Nicole Homan; his favorite nieces, Mia and Liliana Homan; his lifelong best friend, Danielle Fredricks, and countless other extended family member and friends. Luke Davis, you will forever be in our hearts. You are loved more than all the grains of sand on all the earth. You will be greatly missed and our lives will never be the same.
