Our hearts are broken as we share the devastating news of the passing of 15-year-old Luke Dowell. After four long days of searching with the help of family, friends, the community, and local law enforcement, Luke was found and is now at peace.

Luke was a kind and bright soul who loved his family, his friends, and spending time outdoors surrounded by nature. His smile could light up a room, and his laughter brought joy to everyone who knew him. He will be forever missed and remembered for the love and light he brought into the lives of so many.

This GoFundMe has been created to help his parents Jason and Tiffany Dowell as they face the unimaginable loss of their son. Funds raised will go directly to the family to help cover funeral and any final expenses and to ease some of the financial burden during this heartbreaking time.

If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing this page to support the Dowell family. Every contribution, no matter the size, means so much as they navigate this difficult journey.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and kindness for the Dowell family.

Forever in our hearts — Luke Dowell
