Christmas 2023
Luke loved Christmas…we did this year for him🎅🏻 We brought his Christmas tree that his friends had made the first Christmas he was gone in 2022, to his memorial camp and the total fire ban meant there was only one thing for it…Christmas tree lights instead🎄

The swing 🛹
As a young man, Luke was a keen skateboarder. He would skate every single day, doing tricks over and over again until he got it right. Luke knew all the best skate spots and at 14 years old he went, with his younger brother Zac, to Barcelona which apparently is the skate capital of the world…he is skating heavens half pipe now 🤍

Live forever date ~ 1 year on
On the first live forever anniversary of our son’s passing, all his friends and family came to Collie to build a memorial bar camp. Luke’s favourite pastime was camping and 4x4ing so we decided this was the way to pay tribute to our beautiful boy 🤍Luke forever 24🤍
