Hi Luke,

Yesterday marked 10 years without your smile, wit or a quick joke to lighten the mood. I will always recall those days we spent in the Academy together.

You and your family will always be remembered.

Rest easy Brother, we have the watch now.

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Luke,

Limp Bizkit came on my Pandora station and I just laughed to myself when I remember how mad you use to get when I would blast it in the morning at KLETC. Miss you my friend.

Time may have passed but you are not forgotten. I believe as long as someone remembers you or speaks your name, you are still with us.
Thank you for your heroism.

Thank you Luke - we had many a conversation about this is this and that is that. I'm a better person for knowing you...bottom line. Thanks for who you were and what you represented. I miss our comedic conversations. I pray your family is in Christ! "See you on the other side" brother.

Hey Brother, was listening to Pandora today and Limp Bizkit came on and made me think of you and how much you hated me playing that CD over and over again in the morning when we were at KLETC. Sometimes I would turn it up louder when you were in the shower just to make sure that you would hear it! It still saddens me everytime that I think about you and realize that you are no longer with us.

Thinking of and missing you on your 34th birthday my son. Your son and daughter are growing like weeds and just as precious as they can be. I thank God every day that you gave us Keri, Hunter and Brooke. We will always do our best to help look after them.

Luke will be missed. We were in the same class at kletc. I always enjoyed his sense of humor. He was quick with a smile and a joke, but was very commited to what he did.
God Bless to you all

I got to know Luke for a short time while he was my roommate at KLETC. He could light up a room just by walking in and always could be counted on to do whatever needed to be done to lighten up the mood. RIP Luke, thank you for your service and may God open up the gates of Heaven for you.
