Dear Shields Family Please know that u all r in my thoughts and prayers. My heart is so sadden from this tragic loss of such a good dear friend. Luke will be so missed by Jeremiah, me, and the kids. We shared so many good times together through the years, Its as though he was part of our family.We knew we always had a friend in Luke. He had a way of teasing the kids, that always made us laugh. I have never met anyone who cooked deer meat as good, and doubt I ever will:)Austin Lake will never be the same either! We had such fun out there with him. Please know that he will never b forgotten in hearts. And I hope that we can all still keep in touch… Peace out Luke….may your soul Rest In Peace and your Spirit Fly High.
To the Kidd / Shields families, I just wanted you to know that you guys are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you find peace somehow. Luke was always a happy-go- lucky person and that is the way I will always remember him. I am always here if you need to talk. Vanessa

~Luke~ (My Cousin) You’ll Always be in my Heart(never forgetting (Snipe Hunting).You’r JokinG nature..& Laughter & How You were always protective with all Children..My Kidds looked up to You And We will all miss you more than ANY words could EVER Express……LOVE YOU MY COUSIN (cousin JerkOff)DEB
I want to give you sunshine in the rain. May each new day be a perfect gift. May love surround you, may your spirits lift. If someone had to describe you so many words come to mind. Beauty and grace, a heart so kind. You radiate warmth like a blazing fire. You are courage and wisdom. You truly inspire. You attract like a magnet beautiful things. You sparkle and shine like a diamond ring. You light up a room when you walk in. If someone feels sad you can make them grin. You are elegant and charming. You know right from wrong. You are the melody from a beautiful love song. You are a breath of fresh air on a hot summer’s night. When there is darkness you turn on the light. I do not want these words to make you cry. I do not want to ever say goodbye. I believe miracles really do come true. No one deserves one more than you. Please know how many lives you touch. These words are my present. You are loved so much.
If tears could build a stairway and thoughts a memory lane I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again No Farewell words were spoken No time to say good-bye You were gone before I knew it And only God knows why. My heart’s still active in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one can ever know. But now I know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forgotten I pledge to you today A hallowed place within my heart Is where you’ll always stay.
rip luke we r going to miss u so much your sister inlaw angel
LUKEI went away to a place where there’s no tears, nor sorrow only laughter and smiles, As he move amongst the clouds. He will look down and smile upon you,He knows you’ll grieve and wish he was still here He is here in the memories you hold dear.Remember how much he loves you and know he took your love with him. His pain is gone and he is Free!

Luke you were such and amazing man, spending 2 years with you was one of the most amazing 2 years of my life, You did so much for me and TJ, and you dont know how much you will be missed. I want you to know that I love you I always have and always will Lukey… Love Kimmie and Tj
Luke, you were always a great friend, although we were not close after high school, I do remember the great times we had. You were always happy, smiling about something, and you touched the lives of many people around you. My heart goes out to your friends and family at this time. I wish I could’ve been to your funeral, buddy, but, I was out of town. It’s sad your time with your family and friends ended too soon, but, your spirit will always live on, and you will not be forgotten. I believe, God has a purpose for you, and your friends, Pete, Kyle, and others will be there waiting for you. R.I.P. Luke, and watch over your family and friends. I pray that God will find some way to comfort them, by letting them feel at ease, knowing you are in good hands now.
