Dear friends and family,

My name is Robert Battell, and I am reaching out to you during this incredibly difficult time on behalf of my brother-in-law, Luke, and his family. It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of Luke's untimely passing in his sleep. He was a vibrant soul, cherished deeply by his partner, Emma, and his two beautiful boys.

Luke was known for his passion for sports and his light-hearted spirit, often blending his love for life with a good laugh. It’s hard to believe that someone so young and full of life could be gone so suddenly. Like many of us, he didn’t have the opportunity to prepare for such a tragic loss.

In light of this, I kindly ask for your support in giving Luke the farewell he deserves. At this time, we’re awaiting a postmortem to determine the cause of his passing, and as a result, there isn’t a date set for the service yet. I promise to keep everyone updated as soon as we have more information.

All contributions will go directly towards covering the expenses of his service. If there happen to be any remaining funds, they will be provided to Emma and the boys to help support them during this challenging time.

Thank you all for your kindness and support. Luke will be profoundly missed by all of us.
