Lucky was a man who poured his heart into his community. With a helpful spirit and a life of service, he served as a volunteer paramedic, a volunteer firefighter, and a reserve deputy with the sheriff's department, always ready to answer the call. Outside of his service, he found peace in the outdoors. He loved to hunt and fish but even more than that he loved shooting. He ran his own gunsmith shop where he took pride in his craft and in helping others. He was surrounded by wonderful friends, and was known for the kindness he showed everyone he met. His dog, Rip, held a very special place in his heart. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
