Help lay luke to rest

Sadly last Tuesday on the 21/12/21 my sister Natasha, lost her soulmate to suicide. We all lost not only a loved one but one of the most kind hearted, compassionate and out going loving people you could ever meet.

Luke William John Pitman, 22/6/94-21/12/21 forever 27

As a kid, he was loving, compassionate, empathetic and was always the first to give a helping hand to others, not just to family and friends but strangers too, this followed him into adulthood.

He was always taking in stray dogs, cats, birds etc. He loved spending time with family and friends and going on holidays to the country as a kid. Loved fishing, nrl, basketball, netball, power rangers, Pokémon and so much more.

Luke grew to be a fully qualified chef and even started his own business with his soulmate and long term partner, affectionately known as Tash, as the both loved their reptiles they decided to start up

bulletproof reptile rehabilitation services.

Luke and Tash had so many plans trying to get their reptile rehabilitation service off the ground, plans to start a family, marriage. They were together 7 years and 7 months with what was thought to be many years to come. From the first time they met the sparks flew, once they made things official of becoming a couple they were basically inseparable.

whilst his unselfish traits were a benefit to others it was sadly a detriment to his mental health.

Even though he had plenty of family and friends around him,

He felt as though he was alone, a disappointment and a failure This was so far from the truth, in hindsight if only he knew this. He was the most kindness person outgoing loving guy you would ever meet was an amazing uncle,brother, son, grandson, nephew, friend, chef and everything in between. But unfortunately his choice was made in darkness instead of the bright light he was.

While no one can fill the void that Luke has left, there are ways that we as a community can ease the financial burden that comes with losing a loved one In such a traumatic way, with the business that was self funded and no Will. I understand money is tight this time of year but any donations would be greatly appreciated and go a long way in helping his family give luke the send off he deserves. Even if it's just $1
