💔 Why it matters

Losing someone so young is devastating. Luke’s life was just beginning — he was on the edge of adulthood, with dreams and plans ahead of him. From what the obituary and community narratives show, he wasn’t just an athlete, but someone who had built relationships, helped others, and had a warm spirit. His loss will be deeply felt by his family, friends, and community.

🙏 My thoughts

• To the Stepp family, Gregg, Robin, and all of Luke’s loved ones: I’m so sorry for your loss.

• To the classmates, teammates, and friends of Luke: It’s okay to grieve, to remember, to talk about him, and to lean on each other.

• May Luke’s memory shine as a symbol of kindness, joy, and the impact one person can have.

• If you’re part of his community, sometimes ways to honour him include sharing stories, supporting his family, or serving in a way that reflects what he loved.
