So sorry to hear about Luke’s passing
Bobby and the rest of the family I am so sorry to hear of Luke’s passing. I guess God needed another young man for his heavenly place. Y’all are in my prayers and thoughts may God wrap you in his arms and keep you in his comfort. It’s hard to let a brother go Bobby but just as I had to let go of mine they are so much better buddy than we are.. So all the ones that had went before us as Brantley Gilbert would say Give Heaven Some Hell brothers til we get there. Love you Bobby I am around if you need anything .
You are definitely going to be missed Luke!!! You were a great father that lived for your kids!! You taught them to be strong, like you!! You were a strong man to endure all the pain you were in!! God bless you, rest easy Luke, gone but never forgotten!!
