Chad Lamont Luke, 51, of Victoria, passed away amongst his family October 22, 2024. Chad was born November 22, 1972, in Fort Worth, Tx, the oldest child of the late Jack Lynn Luke and the late Karen Lavon Blandford.
Chad is survived by his children, Hunter Luke of Victoria, Tanner Luke and wife, Sonya, of Okinawa, Japan, Morgan Luke of Pensacola, Florida; sister, Jennifer Richards and husband, Chris, of Grandbury, TX; their children Preston Richards, Gracie Richards and Luke Richards; his in-laws Horace and Theresa Whitt of Victoria, Tx; his aunt Anna Thompson and her husband Darwin, of Artesia, New Mexico; his aunt Patricia Asbill and her husband Danny of Bosque Farms, NM and cousins Scott and James Asbill; and numerous friends and co-workers.
Chad served proudly in the United States Marine Corps. He had immense love for God, country and Corps. He had many wonderful adventures and formed lifelong friendships during his time of service. Chad was working at Circle 8 as a crane operator in New Mexico.
Chad was an exceptional father, brother, uncle and friend. He did not know a stranger and was always quick with a joke or witty comeback. He enjoyed many things over the course of his life; including riding his motorcycle, traveling with family and friend, and sightseeing in the mountains. He also loved his coffee and enjoying the beautiful sky above. But he loved and enjoyed nothing more than his three beautiful children, Hunter, Tanner and Morgan. They were the light of his world. They will cherish their memories of their dad for a lifetime. He touched many lives and will be missed by all who knew him.
Visitation for family and friends will be Saturday, October 26, 2024, from 1-2:30 PM at Rosewood Funeral Chapel with a rosary to be recited at 2:30 PM. A Celebration of Chad’s life will follow at 3 PM at Rosewood Funeral Chapel with military honors under the auspices of the Victoria Veterans Council.
