In 2017 Luke married the love of his life, Pamela, whom he called My Love. She made his life complete with the blessing of two little girls, Anna & Aliyah.
In the words of his girls he was amazing, he made them laugh and he was a great father. Pam describes him as a hard worker, who loved the simple things in life, fishing hiking, and spending time with family & friends. He enjoyed country music, country living & making others laugh.
Luke's new love for the Bible, brought him joy and a loving relationship with Jehovah God. He made many changes in his life, so he could become a friend of our creator.
To be with him & hear his heartfelt expressions of his love for God, would bring happiness and make others want to learn about God too.
Luke would want others to dig into the Bible so they too could become Gods friends.
Luke knew he is now in the memory of God because of his friendship with him. The promise from God is found at John 5:28,29 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out"

A memorial service to be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's  Witnesses of Livingston, TN, Sunday at 1:00 pm friends and family are invited to attend.
