It’s been a week since you left. The empty space is deafening. I hope your free and happy. Love you….
I am so sorry for your lost. I haven’t seen Luke since he was younger we did chat on Facebook. I pray God will bring all the family peace and comfort at this difficult time.
We miss you rest easy my friend. Love you.
Luke, I’m glad you were my cousin and I cherish all the memories we made during summers on Norman and Hildas farm in Scotland Neck. i remember the mean chickens chasing us, picking vegetables, eating Hildas awesome meals, especially her collards, biscuits and cakes, you driving the pickup to dump the wastewater in the fields when you were about 12 and all the great times swimming and dancing at the Scout Pond! I didn’t see you enough in our adult years but I thought of you often. Im so glad that Abel and Candida got to meet you in 2013,when we said goodbye to Hilda. Fly high Luke and enjoy that heavenly choir. Until we meet again.
Such a bright and sunny personality who lit up a room.
Have so many wonderful memories dear cousin.
You left many who lives were better for knowing you.
Shine on
Rest in peace Luke
Peace and love

You showed me what a daddy was supposed to be! From being there when I had my son Sabastian to helping me got on my feet. I’ll never forget how we all met, being a witness to your marriage of 23 years, and all your funny songs! I love you daddy forever and always!!!
Luke was a very dear friend of mine who I enjoyed spending time with while I was in town. He always had a smile on his face and a joke up his sleeve. Luke you will be forever in mind. To dear Mrs Dani from my family to you we love you and wish you the best through this sad time, you have our full support and if you need anything we’re a phone call away. We love you and will keep you in our prayers.
Our family is better for knowing you buddy…. fly high until we meet again.
Love Mark, Joyce and family
To one of our best friends, you will truly be missed,
You were the Love of my life. I don’t know how to be without you. Rest easy my Sweetheart.
