Luke Ashby (Summers) Memorial Fund

Family and Friends,

With the sudden passing of our brother, Luke, we are overwhelmed with the love and support we are receiving not only from everyone in the Philly area, but all of you who live across the country. Due to the constraints of COVID-19, we are not able to physically be together as family and friends to mourn our loss of Luke. Many of you are asking how you can help and show your love for Luke and our family during this time of COVID-19. So we have decided to put together a memorial fund to cover costs associated with being able to celebrate Luke's life. Thank you for your support during this devastating time.

Luke M. Ashby (Summers) of Drexel Hill, Pa. passed away suddenly on November 10, 2020. He is the beloved son of Michelle Summers and the devoted brother of Rachel R., Jessica S., and Christian A. Summers. He is the grandson of Gail A. (nee Bull) and the late Arthur R. Summers. He is also survived by numerous loving aunts, uncles and cousins.

Luke was born in Darby, PA to Michelle Summers and Frank Ashby. He is a graduate of Penn Wood High School in Yeadon, Pa. Luke survived a near fatal accident when he was a child and persevered through overwhelming odds to become a diligent worker in the fields of construction and hospitality as well as a loyal family man who was always willing and ready to help a friend or relative in need. Luke was an empathetic & gentle person who often found himself in the company of children and animals who would instantly recognize the goodness of his soul. A self-taught guitarist and lifelong lover of music, t here was rarely a time when Luke was not listening to or playing melodies. He’ll be remembered for his unbridled energy, uncanny memory, witty sense of humor as well as his ability to connect with people of all backgrounds and beliefs on a deep level.

In lieu of flowers, an offering in Luke’s name to
Children’s Seashore House of Philadelphia 3501 Civic Center Blvd. Philadelphia, PA 19104
OR to the
Brain Trauma Foundation 228 Hamilton Ave. 3rd Floor Palo Alto, CA 94301
