My good friend Katy was close with Luke. I know she treasures the countless hours that they spent on the mountains in Colorado and will surely miss him. I only met Luke briefly once at Katy's wedding. He shares a birthday with my husband as well as Katy's wedding date. So sorry that you lost him so young. 
Peace, Janet

Dear Pat & Glen,  Ditto stopped in today to share the sad news.  I wish you had not joined our group.  We are truly sorry.
Jan & Lloyd

Reading of your loss has touched me deeply.  I do not wish to be intrusive, as I did not know your son, or your family.  I only want you to know that even total strangers share your pain, and wish you comfort.  God be with you.
                   Kristen

My deepest sympathies for your loss.  Luke was a very special person/friend/brother.  He was one of the most genuine people I have ever known.  The loss of Luke will have a long term affect on myself and many others.  I strive to live my life up to the standards that Luke set forth.  He will be forever missed.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Luke's family and friends. Luke was a joy to be around, with a genuine smile and a contagious laugh. Luke lived his life to the fullest - a lesson we could probably all learn from him. He will be missed.

All things exist in balance.  Though it is hard and painful, life is balanced through the cycle of death.  In life, Luke was caring, passionate and adventurous.  Upon returning to the earth from which he came, may Luke be an inspiration for those who loved him and live on through our memories.

My deepest sympathies to you for your loss.  Luke was a wonderful classmate and friend in the Landscape Architecture program at North Dakota State University.  He was truly a great joy to be around and will be deeply missed!

ADAM - WE HAVE ONLY MET YOU A COUPLE TIMES BUT DEB AND SAM THINK A LOT OF YOU AND ARE ALWAYS MENTIONING YOU.  WE WERE SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE DEATH OF YOUR BROTHER.  YOU HAVE OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY.  HENRY AND KAREN DURAY, (DEB VAAGEN'S PARENTS)

My thoughts and prayers of support are with you, his family during this difficult time.  I've know Luke for about 10 years, as ""Millhouse.""  We met in Fargo and have kept in touch by email/phone.  My husband and I have made copies of several photos and a video we'll give you early next week.  We send our love, Mandy & Tony

The employees of the Canyon Lakes Ranger District of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest extend our deepest sympathy to the Oldenburg family.  We are always so saddened when enjoying the beautiful forest setting ends in tragedy.  Our most sincere thoughts are with you.

My most heartfelt sympathy goes out to the entire Oldenburg family an Lindsay.  The passing of Luke is indeed a shock and a terrible tragedy.  I knew Luke from SAE and have the fondest memories of his enthusiasm for his friends and for life.  I am truely sorry for your loss, and my prayer for you is that you may find a peace that passes all understanding.  Luke will be missed.
In the bonds...

I am truly sorry for your loss.  I was blessed to have known Luke as a classmate at NDSU.  We lost touch after graduation as new jobs and lives started but he always brought fun and life into the studio.  He will be missed.

Millhouse,
You were a tribute and example of professionalism, true friendship, family, and living it up.
Enjoy the sunrise over snow capped peaks with a cold one for breakfast, and know that we will share one with you when we can.  We love and miss you, Brother!!

My condolences to the Oldenburg family and Lindsay Pederson on their loss.  He seemed like a great guy in the few times that I got to work with him.  I missed getting to know that we shared the same love for the outdoors. 
We'll miss you, Luke.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all friends and family of Luke.  I have had the great fortune to become friends with Luke over the last 6 years through our work and subsequent social events.  Luke was a diligent worker, an optimistic thinker and a genuine spirit.  It is times like these that we look introspectively at ourselves to see if we are being all that we can be.  Luke certainly did his best and I am a better person for knowing him.

My condolences to Millhouse's family and friends.  Although I didn't know him well, he was always extremely nice and fun to be around at SAE.  
With much sympathy, 
Ann Grigel (Stone)

To the family I'm so sorry for your loss.  I worked with him at one time and remember him being a really nice guy.

First we would like to send our deepest sympathy to Luke's family and loved ones. We always had a great time when we were with him. He was very kind, caring, and always made us laugh! Our time spent with ""Millhouse"" will always be treasured, he will be missed! 
Chris and Tacey

I met Luke ""Millhouse"" through several friends at SAE.  I can honestly say that he was one of the most kind individuals that I have ever had the fortune of crossing paths with. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his many friends.

On behalf of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity here at NDSU, we would like to send our deepest condolences to the Oldenburg family. Many of us seniors will always recall the picture of ?'Millhouse?' painted his bedroom door. Luke was obviously a man filled with a zeal for life, and our thoughts and prayers have been with the family throughout this tragedy. 
PHI ALPHA

The loss of Luke from our lives is a tradgedy unlike any that I have experianced.  The impact he had my life was profound and I miss him dearly.
I am tremendously thankful I was able to spend time with him this June when he traveled a thousand miles to attend my wedding, after which he roundly whipped me in golf though he was using borrowed clubs and had a knee injured such that he could barly walk.
Millhouse one of the rare type of person that was liked by everone who knew him, and loved by everyone who knew him well.  He always went out of his way to try to connect with his friends, regardless of time and distance, and I dearly wish I had worked harder to follow up on his suggestions to get together.
I can only guess the impact that his passing has had on his family and on Lesley; my own grief can only be a fraction of yours.  The fact that Luke was such a wonderful person makes his passing even more difficult to understand and bear.  I offer my deepest sympathies and support.

My deepest condolences to the Family members and close friends.  I am so thankful for having such a great friend in life!  Words cannot express the time I had the opportunity spending with Milhouse!  He had a glow of happiness and independant freedom that made him who he was!  Luke certainly siezed the day, as we should all learn a lesson in life how to live life to its fullest!  Luke taught us as he was an inspiration to so many!  God Bless you Luke!  To the family & close friends;  We were all very lucky to have him in our lives as the number of people I see on the emails proves what he meant to everyone!     
I will miss you ""Phi Alpha Brother!""

Luke was a graduate of our landscape architecture program at North Dakota State University, and he made many, many friends while he was here.  Our landscape architecture graduates form a close-knit community, even as they have ventured far afield, and many have contacted me about Luke's tragic accident.  To Pat and Glenn, and to Adam and Lindsey, you should always be proud of Luke's many achievements and of the way he touched so many people at North Dakota State University and beyond.  On behalf of the NDSU landscape architecture faculty and students, I extend my deepest sympathy.

Our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy are with you all at this time.  Luke was indeed an awesome guy and we are so thankful he has been Aaron's good friend for many years.  Luke will be missed by so many of us.  Love,   Wayne and Joleta Smith

With sadness in my heart I offer my sincere condolence to Luke's family, to Lindsay and to all that knew him.  His ability to truly live was only rivaled by his ability  to spread that sentiment.  
It was Luke, several years ago, that accompanied me to the funeral of another friend.  Luke knew him from skydiving. He died in a plane crash while teaching a flight lesson in northern Minnesota.  At the cemetary, an airplane was heard in the sky above and several people jumped out.  As they fell closer to the earth, they formed a formation which clearly was missing someone.  It was impossible to keep a dry eye.  When it was time to leave, our hearts were heavy.  Yet we were somewhat comforted by the fact that our friend lived by a philosophy that we both believed in: Live while you can; Live all you can.
We'll miss you my friend.

I had known Luke for a few years as we both went to NDSU... but it was a surprise to meet him again a few years later in Loveland.  We worked together for a short time on a project, but it was nice to get to know him more.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all as I can't even begin to imagine your loss!

I cannot imagine the loss you are feeling right now.  You are in my Prayers and know that your son was one of a few type that could touch others just by his presence.
Take Care 
GOD BLESS

It was a priviledge knowing and working with Luke.  I looked up to him in more ways than he probably realized.  He packed more adventure into his 31 years than most do in a lifetime.  He inspired all with his zest for life, and will continue to inspire me.  Carpe diem!

I am a friend of Adam.  I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. His memory will be with you forever.  May god blessed you and your family at this time of need.

I am a good friend of Adam.  I want to express my deepest sympathies to Adam's family, and to Adam.  I am sorry I never met Luke. I know Adam loved him very much.  May the lord bless Luke in heaven, and his family.
Barry Weiner

My sincerest condolences to Luke's family as well as to Lindsay and her family. Unfortunately, I didn't have an opportunity to meet Luke but have heard many good things about him from Lindsay's family. He was loved by many and will be missed.

My heart and condolences goes out to lukes ""Millhouse"" family and friends.  I pledged SAE with Luke and after hearing of his tragedy found myself going through pictures and memories of the great times spent at NDSU with Luke.  Luke defines the ""True Gentleman.

I just wanted to extend my deepest sympathies to Luke's family. My heart goes out to you and I hold you all close in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I worked with Luke on several projects in Loveland and Fort Collins, when our companies were partnered on those projects. He was a great guy and will be greatly missed by so many!

Glenn, Pat and Adam...our heartfelt prayers be with you.  It is hard to find the words to express our deepest sympathy on the loss of Luke. We aren't walking in your shoes, but the Lord will lift you up and help you all through this tragic time.  Love and Prayers.

Although Luke and I had only known each other for two years,  I always enjoyed my time with him.  Humility and being humble are the two most important attributes I will always remember that Luke possessed.  Thanks for being part of my life Luke, I'll miss climbing with you.  God bless.

Pat, Glenn & Adam
Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you at this difficult time and may you find comfort & peace in the Lord.
Tom, Marie & Jackie Gartner

My deepest sympathies to Luke's family and loved ones.  I know that Luke touched many lives, and his zest for life was often apparent.  I will always remember him as a truly genuine person and that is a rare quality.  He will be missed by many.

I don't think that anyone(SAE)had more fun and adventures than Milhouse did.  He was a great guy to everyone.

Glenn, Pat, and Adam,
Our deepest condolences.  Luke was like an older brother to all of Adam's friends, and we will all miss him.
Please know that you are in our prayers.

Adam and family, 
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Milhouse, we've been privileged having you in our lives.  Thank you for all the memories and laughs.  We love you my friend.
Glenn, Pat & Adam; our deepest and sincerest sympathies.  Thank you for sharing such an amazing person with us, and the world.
Ben & Codi

My sincere condolences to Luke's family and closest friends.  
I hope the prayers and stories from everyone who  knew him offer hope and peace through this difficult time.

Adam and family, we just wanted to tell you how sorry we are to hear of your loss and want you to know that you are in our prayers.

I am sincerly sorry for your loss.  Luke was such a kind man.  I have fond memories of him in Landscape Architecture studio at NDSU.  I wish his family peace during the holidays.

Millhouse, you were an outstanding person.  Always smiling and excited to be around your friends.  I wish that I could have the courage to attempt some of the adventures that you have done.  You will be missed.  My thoughts and prayers to your family and friends.  WE LOVE YOU!!

Dear Oldenburg family - I'll always remember how much fun Luke seamed to be having no matter what he was doing - whether he was making coffee or dinner, wroking or playing he always seamed to have a big smile on his face and have a great attitude about what he was doing. I'll miss Luke.

Luke you are a standup guy, that rare type of person I knew as soon as I met that I would have a friend for life.   I'll bet you're already back down at the Crestones scrambling around that mountain again showing it whose boss.

Adam, Glenn, Pat, Family and Friends. Heather and I want to let you know that you are all in our hearts and prayers.  God be with you...

Luke was an amazing True Gentleman.  During the past days I have caught myself replaying the many memories of the times shared with him.  His laugh and smile were always on display and his kind demeanor was second to none. I am very glad I got to know Luke. He will be missed greatly.

My condolences to Luke's family. He was an amazing person and I will forever carry with me the fond memories of the times we spent together in the fraternity house. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you. 
Jerry and Arlis Fettig

You are a true gentleman.  You will be missed.  Your smile will always keep me smiling.  You were a friend to everyone, and I am glad that we were brothers.

My condolences to the Oldenburg family on their loss.  Millhouse will be missed by many.

My deepest condolences to Luke's family and girlfriend.  I have so many fond memories from the years we had spent in the fraternity.  Luke was a great friend and I will miss him very much.

My sincerest condolences on your loss, my wife and I had been praying for Luke since I received word of the accident.  As a classmate of Luke's I was able to spend a lot of time with him in studio. I had always felt that he had a great energy for life.  He will be greatly missed.

My condolences to Lukes family and friends.  My thoughts and prayers to you all for comfort in this difficult time.  It was a pleasure to spend those five years with Luke in the LA program at NDSU.

My deepest condolences and support go out to the Oldenburg family as well as Lindsay and her family.  Luke was a great friend over the years beginning all the way back to our early fraternity days. I will remember him for his sense of humor(His laugh) and easy going nature. Luke always had time for his friends.

My deepest sympathies to Luke's family and girlfriend.  Luke was a wonderful man and friend to many.  I will never forget the times I was able to share with Luke at the fraternity house in Fargo, and the many lessons he taught me about how to live life to the fullest.

My heartfelt condolences to Luke's family and girlfriend. I feel lucky that I was able to share big part of a small portion of his life. Luke and I were in the same fraternity and also in the Landscape Architecture program together. The result was a lot of time spent together. When you graduate college and say goodbye to your friends and brothers, you do so thinking that you'll always see them again. I regret not being able to see him again and catch up on his experiences. Luke will be missed by many people and I will always hold him in my memories.

Glen, Pat & Adam-- Our condolances to you all.  Millhouse was a great friend to us both and we will forever miss him.  We will continue to lift you all up in prayer during this difficult time.  Please express our sympathies to Lindsay as well, though we never meet her, Luke spoke of her often and loved her deeply.

Luke,  I have been praying for you and your family every day.  I pray that you will find that ultimate adventure and that your family will find peace in knowing that you lived your life to its fullest.  You have touched so many lives and you will be missed by all.

Pat and Glen, so sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine what your going through.  Marlene and I are keeping you and your family in our hearts and prayers.
Eric
