Lukas James Carrick

Hypoluxo

Lukas James "Luke", 31 exited stage left on Saturday April 28th at Martin Memorial Hospital, in Stuart, Florida. He was born in Tampa on September 11, 1980.

He grew up in Palm Beach County where he graduated from Cardinal Newman High School, class of 1999. His passion was music, writing, singing, and playing. He could make a mouth harp speak like no other. He loved photography and combining his photos into beautiful pieces of art.

He had an infectious smile, that would bring you to your knees. He touched so many lives in his music, his art and his personality. He loved a good road trip, where he met and touched the lives of people from Florida, Vermont, New York City, Portland, Truckee, Los Angeles and numerous other places in between.

As a young boy he excelled in every sport he played, he was an incredible "short stop,"

and "catcher" in baseball and he was an unbelievable "quarterback" in football.

He loved skateboarding, roller hockey and continued on to play ice hockey with his travel team from Planet Ice, competing in Lake Placid N.Y. and assisted his team in bringing home a bronze medal. His other passions became wakeboarding, wake skating and then right into extreme snowboarding. He loved the rush of pushing the envelope with everything he did. He made the most of his life with the short amount of time he had on our planet. We love him and will miss him terribly.

He truly was "The Lunatic the Lover and the Poet".

Survivors include his parents, Tom & Ann Carrick, sister, Kelsey Lynn Carrick, his future nephew and his pups Chippy Chip, Odie Dodie and CharlieWiggles, aunts and uncles Tom and Jean Flynn, Shawn and Lori Watts.

Services: A viewing will be held Thursday May 3rd from 11am-1pm at Forest Hills Funeral Home in Palm City and a memorial service to celebrate his life will commence at 1pm.
