I died on a Monday morning in late November of 2007. The skies were grey, my favorite color. I listened to some relaxing music while I wrote out this farewell, and made my peace with whatever governing forces there may be in this universe. I understand that there may be a price to pay in taking my own life. But, I am willing to pay the price to

This is all coming to me as a shock and it's definitely getting tough to hold back the tears. We all need to be strong for eachother. If anyone wants to talk about this, us Florida people should have a get together and grieve together.

yes I think we should it may help, I know that Luke would be happy if we did that. We should try to figure out a day.

I'm thinking probably on December 9th, and people are invited to come to my place. We can all buy snacks and everything. Just to hangout and remember him.

Anyday will work for me cuz I really dont care if i have to call out of work, I hate the damn place anyways. I wish I could just buy a ticket for everyone to come over here so we can all be together to talk about Lukie.

I just, I don't even know what to say. There's nothing. Damn, I'm gonna miss this guy :'(. I found a quote, maybe this will help someone deal with grief, I know it's helped me when I've lost friends in the past. We had some words, but I'm so so so glad I met Luke, I'm glad he lived with me, I'm glad I got a chance to be his friend.

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility . . . "

Hey if there was anyway anyone knows how to contact the family of Luke and can let me know I would love it. I am a friend of his from Orlando and I wanted to pay some respects perhaps let their family know what a great guy their son was to me and others. If anyone does not want to post the info here please email me at nickpacifico@gmail.com Im also open to talking to anyone, so feel free to email me. I wish to pay my respects with more than a livejournal post.

Luke was a great friend. Luke was always an AWESOME presence to be around and brought tremendous amounts of joy with little thoughts about himself to his humble friends here in central florida. The day we dropped him at the bus station he was already sorely missed. I wished to ride them cycles and shoot them guns in the desert friend.

Red teams finest has left us.
RIP friend.

Carrie, thank you so much. I know how hard this will be and is on every one of Luke's friends. I was so sad and upset when I learned what had happened and sad moreover because I had no way of contacting his family, no way of offering them some support.

I just called and spoke to Luke's dad and I just... really appreciated being able to reach out to them. Really really.

Thank you.
