In memory of Luke Butz

Hi, our names are Dellco and Jenn, and we are friends of Grant and Candice.

With heavy hearts, we share the heartbreaking loss of Luke, a beloved son, grandson, cousin, and friend. At just 17 years old, Luke touched so many lives with his kindness, warmth, and adventurous spirit. He was a caring young man who loved deeply and was deeply loved—especially by his parents, Grant and Candice, his loyal dog Emma, and his cousins Andrew and Nick, whom he cherished like brothers.

Luke found joy in the great outdoors, whether it was camping under the stars, hiking new trails, or mountain biking through the hills with his parents. He had a way of making people feel special, often through his legendary hugs—hugs that could brighten even the darkest days. His sensitivity, compassion, and love left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

As we grieve this devastating loss, we want to help give Luke the beautiful memorial he deserves while easing the financial burden on Grant and Candice. We are reaching out to our community for support in covering funeral expenses, lost wages, and anything else they may need as they navigate life without their baby boy. Any contribution, big or small, would mean the world to them during this unimaginable time.

If you are able to help, please consider donating. Even if you cannot contribute financially, sharing this message or keeping Luke’s family in your thoughts is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness, love, and support as we honor Luke’s beautiful life and stand by Grant and Candice during this heartbreaking time.
