Dear Michelle, Hugh and family.
I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Luke. My heart aches for you all as you learn to live without Luke. Much love, Heather Botting

Luke you were one in a million. So kind hearted. A man who put others before himself. Respectful and Trustworthy and a friend to so many.
It was a honor and a pleasure watching you grow into the amazing young man you become. My heart is breaking for your Family, Hugh, Michelle and your beautiful sisters Gabby & Hannah.
You promised to build me (and your Mum) a house when you became a builder. I guess you are starting your Apprenticeship in Heaven under the best teacher there is and both Mum & I will have to wait to see the finished article till we get there.
Rest Easy Young Man. You were Greatly Loved and will be Greatly Missed
Love

My love is and always will be with Luke’s whānau. You all lost a great man ❤️
I met Luke during his short time working at the warehouse where we shared the misfortune of working at such a place together 😅. But he made it bearable with his dark and twisted humour, endless laughs and deep conversations, which I’m sure everyone who knew him knew that’s exactly what he was about! He was a great coworker but an even greater friend and I’ll cherish our time spent at and outside of mahi. You’ll forever be missed, gramps 👴🏼🖤

Deepest sympathy Michelle, Gaby and family. My thoughts are with you at this incredibly sad and difficult time xx

I love the stories I have heard about my little son. Nice to know he made more than 1 work place bearable. Comments from others saying the same thing. Proud that he walked work mates home so they were safe. Saving lives, helping others, and being a kind soul. I have always been proud of his honesty too. I have always loved who he was. Everyone has been very kind with all their donations thanks very much.
Forever in my heart Lukie.
Hugh Dawson , Invercargill
