<div>On August 17th, we lost our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, boyfriend, and friend in a head-on car collision. This is a soul-wrenching tragedy for the Salem family. Luke and his family are so loved by their community and need unconditional support at this time. Luke is survived by his mother Mellisa, father Tommy, sister Jordan and brothers Noah and Chad.
</div>

</div>
<div>Luke was bigger than life with an old soul. He gave his all to every passion and hobby. He loved his family, pets, playing football at Cabrillo, gardening, surfing, fishing, God, snowboarding, baseball, cooking, playing alto saxophone, his classic car, and building light sabers. He walked around with his heart on his sleeve, showing love to every person and animal around him. We are inspired by his ability to show kindness to everyone in his life and continuously give back to his community. We will never forget his contagious smile throughout Santa Cruz.
</div>

</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter the amount, will mean a lot to the family and help with funeral costs. Additionally, if you want to show your support through cooking, please consider signing up for a meal: <a href="https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/3zkom1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/3zkom1/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/3zkom1/</a></a>

</div>
<div>We will hold a memorial service in honor of Luke on Thursday, September 5th at 11am located at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church, 435 Monterey Ave, Capitola, CA. All are welcome. More information to come on the paddle out. 
</div>

</div>
<div>May we go forth with love and live like Luke.
