Lucas loved to live large, he was a jack of all trades, from food service and owning a bakery, to working in IT services and sales, his favorite role was being a family man. Familia meant everything to him, and he always made sure his family felt loved by him. He had a heart of gold, and always sent you home with full bellies and fuller hearts, (and some leftovers). His favorite hobbies included frisbee golf. dancing, cooking, reading comic books, and watching really cheesy movies and shows with his favorite people. He had a healing energy and was always there for anyone who needed to “grab some earth” as he would say. He was a big fan of garage sales, and finding things and making them feel loved again. He was an amazing soul, is loved, and will be missed dearly by many.
