Live Like Luke

A 501(c)3 organization created in the memory of Luke Alexander Bresette whose mission is to put smiles on as many children’s faces as possible. Luke Alexander Bresette was born on June 4, 2002. He was full of energy from day 1. He had the blondest hair, the cutest dimples you would ever see and a heart of gold. He loved life and lived life to the fullest each and every day. He believed more in asking for forgiveness than asking for permission. Luke was the younger brother of Anna and Joe and would go on to be the big brother of Sam and Tyler. Luke was the middle child and he made the family “GO!” Luke was the typical middle child. He could easily hang out with his older or his younger siblings. Luke loved all things about sports. He would constantly research on the Internet what was going on for the particular sport that was in season. He loved the Royals and Chiefs. In addition, he loved Butler basketball, KU basketball, Notre Dame football and the Miami Marlins. He played every sport he could. He loved baseball. Luke was a natural second baseman. He loved football and played defensive tackle and would play his heart out. He was thrilled to recover a fumble and hustle on every play. He loved basketball where he could be point guard and it was guaranteed he would go after every loose ball. Before Luke passed, his basketball team would win a 5th grade Christmas tournament and go on to win the 5th grade city championship. Luke explored all things in this world. He enjoyed playing “war” in the “forest” with his brothers in the backyard. He enjoyed playing pranks on people and doing prank phone calls. He gave it all in everything. Luke left nothing behind each day. Luke lived life to the fullest each and every day. Luke went to bed each day with no regrets and lived life to the fullest. Luke passed away on March 22, 2013 from a tragic accident at the Birmingham, Alabama airport where a flight information board fell on him, his brothers Tyler and Sam, and mother, Heather. Joe, Anna, and Dad were not physically hurt. The physical injuries were severe to Heather, Sam and Tyler. The emotional pain and discomfort is indescribable and continue to affect our lives every hour of every day.
