We lost our beautiful boy Luke on Wednesday, May 17th. Like too many others, he was taken from us by the devastating heroin epidemic.

Luke was funny, gentle, and kind. He loved football (go Pats!), wrestling, basketball (go Cavs!), snowboarding (aka bombing the mountain), eating very fine foods, and spending time with his countless friends. But for the past few years, Luke's greatest wish in life was to be a 'normal kid.' He has left behind more loving family members and friends than could ever be captured here.

Now he is with his beloved Ed 'the governor,' his extremely loving grandparents, and too many beautiful souls who have experienced the same struggle. Luke is at rest now but our fight to end addiction does not stop here.
