It is with unimaginable heartbreak that we share the devastating loss of our beloved Luke Daniel Kellett-Smith – a cherished son, grandson, brother, uncle and friend.

At 34 years old, Luke had been living in Toronto since 2019, building a life full of adventure, friendship, and possibility. Luke truly loved life and lived it to the fullest, making friends and connections everywhere he went. Whether you knew him for five minutes or for years, Luke left a lasting impression. Standing at 6’5”, Luke was a gentle giant in every sense. Kind, warm, and full of life, he had a heart as big as his presence.

Tragically, Luke lost his life on the 31st of December after being physically assaulted in downtown Toronto. His sudden and violent death has left his family and loved ones devastated beyond words.

Luke was the eldest of three brothers. His parents are now facing the unimaginable pain of having lost two of their three sons. No parent should ever have to endure such heartbreak, let alone twice.

My name is Jack, I am one of Luke's closest friends and I am organising this fundraiser for Luke’s parents, Nick & Mariella Smith.

This fundraiser has been set up specifically to support Luke’s parents, and all funds raised will be passed directly to them as beneficiaries. The donations will help with:

• Repatriating Luke from Toronto to the UK

• Funeral and memorial expenses

• Supporting the family as they navigate their grief

Our goal is to help Luke’s parents bring him home to Woking, where he can finally be laid to rest beside his brother James, surrounded by family and love.

Any donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference and help ease the immense financial strain during a time of profound loss. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page so others can help. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and support.

Luke will be forever loved, forever missed, and never forgotten.
