It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Luke, only 18 years old and away at college pursuing his dream of becoming a commercial pilot, who was tragically taken from us in a single-car accident. Luke’s light, laughter, and determination touched so many lives in his short time here, and his loss leaves an unimaginable void for his family and all who knew him.

As his loved ones navigate this devastating time, we are asking for your help to ease the financial burden of funeral expenses, cremation, transportation, and related costs. The suddenness of this tragedy has left the family with not only overwhelming grief but also unexpected expenses that no one is ever prepared for.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to help cover funeral services and to support the family with immediate needs as they mourn their beloved son and brother. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and show this family how deeply their community cares for them.

If you cannot give financially, please keep Luke’s family in your thoughts and prayers, and help by sharing this campaign with others. Together, we can surround them with love and support during the hardest days of their lives.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. Luke’s memory will forever live on in all who were blessed to know him.

All funds will go directly to the Hawthorne Family.
