Leah, I was one of Luke’s mods. I have watched him since his first video, then started participating in his live streams. I even got discord so I could chat with Luke and his followers. Although, I am not a recovering addict, I am a nurse and mother. I became interested in Ryan’s content, because we have a friend in common, found Luke from there, and wound up gaining a tremendous amount of incredibly helpful information from recovery influencers. I simultaneously developed a deep respect for the addiction community, and an absolute need to support the unsupported. Luke, will forever live in my heart. I loved the fact that he properly pronounced my last name, Italian accent, and all. I loved how much he loved you, Leah. I loved how quick he was to admit when he was wrong, and apologize. I loved how accurate his knowledge of medication science was. He was, and will always be a bright light ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If/when you want to tell your story... we'll be here to listen 🤍 I'm so sorry. Seems like you and luke had a great connection and a very special bond. Thank you for your vid. We appreciate your words.
So incredibly sorry for your loss, Leah. I can’t imagine the pain you are enduring. It was clear from Luke’s videos that he was really just trying to get to a place where he could be with you and just take a breath and enjoy life. Thank you for sharing this, it’s a message of healing to the whole recovery community
Awwee Leah...Im so sorry 😔..I lost my daughter to this damn drug too 😢 💔 amd I wish I could say something to take your pain away but unfortunately nothing can take it away. I do think its a great idea to make your videos n share your stories. Luke will be so Proud of you! He loved you so much Leah. We all saw that! The advice I got from my Dr when I first lost my daughter Crystal was to Make Sure I took care of myself Nutritionally (i couldnt eat for 5 days) so i got Meal replacement shakes n Vitamins n drink water. And if u feel like sleeping...Sleep!!! And when u feel like crying ..Cry!! .. And Keep your Mind busy the best u can. Theres no Right or Wrong way to Grieve...And the 5 Stages of grief dont have to go in order. And they can be revisited over n over. The 5 stages arent a Rule.. Reach out to support groups or to people that have lost thier loved ones the same way. It does help. Like I said..Thiers no right or wrong way to Grieve. I remember the mornings in the beginning would kill me...I would wake up n just for a Few Seconds everything was ok...And then BAM! Reality hit me n I remembered she was gone! I would get waves of horrible rushes thru my body.. Its like waking up n someone Slaps u across the face really Hard. Im so sorry u have to Hurt n Experience this grief. U are in my Thoughts n in my Prayers Leah. Be Gentle with yourself. 🙏 🤲 ❤
Much love Leah. Luke left a huge imprint in this recovery community and he will always be remembered. I pray you find some peace in knowing this. God bless
I’m sorry for your loss. I know those words don’t help but I don’t what else to say other than Luke was very likable and seemed really kindhearted. Sending love to you and the family.
Leah, we were just watching your video on my livestream tonight. We have many people praying for you and Luke’s family. Please keep making videos in the future and we will all keep Luke’s memory alive! I’m really sorry for your loss… 💔 R.I.P. Luke! We will miss you man. -Kevin
We are doing a live stream this Sunday around 3-6 pm. That was one of first videos I’ve posted so I was super nervous and still feel like I can’t think straight. I’m still in shock with the whole situation. I’m hoping to make some videos when the time is right about what me and Lucas were up to the past few months leading up to his death. I want to do whatever I can to keep his memory alive. 🤍 it is incredibly hard making these videos but I know that it would make lucas happy.
I can see why Luke was so crazy about you. You seem like such a kind and beautiful soul !!! I'm so so sorry. I know there's nothing any of us can say to make this pain go away,but we as a community are here for you. Thank you so much for getting out of your comfort zone to update us !!!
Hi. I lived a really cool life as a Musician and a sailor . My Girlfriend of 7 years out there with me and when we moved on land because I got Cancer and she turned into a Crack addict and ran into the darkness deeply. I did everything I could do to rescue her but I finally had to walk. I think she is alive today but so damaged she is not her anymore. I am Happy now but will always love her dead or alive it really doesn't matter I had to let go to finf Love of Life again. Time goes on for us.
We're right here with you and thinking of you 😢 I am so sorry Leah. I'm sending you so much strength girl ❤ thankful for everything he's brought this community
I don’t know you at all but I’m heartbroken for you. The pain in your eyes. This could have easily been my husband. I’m so sorry. I wish I could take away your pain from someone in recovery to another. Please continue making videos. ❤
Leah im so so sorry for your loss. Ofc you feel broken, you lost your partner and 'better half', thats unimaginable pain. I encourage you to tell your story and start making vids-i know its mad stressful but you have an important story to tell and ppl who are interested in hearing it! I never subbed to Luke's channel unfortunately but we spoke in the Reddit subs at the beginning of the JKent debacle and i was admittedly tough on him at first because ive lived this shit and i had feared this ending for him. Pls know you're in my thoughts and pls dont hesitate to reach out if you need an ear or need to vent. ❤
Luke had a big heart, I love how he had so much love and respect for u, his goal was to live a clean sober life with his true love, the devil fought him daily, Luke was one of a kind, everyone loves Luke, he wanted to help everyone, it sucks and I still can’t believe this, I am heartbroken for you, I know u 2 loved each other so much. I would love to hear your story, my son has 2 yrs sober after 8 yrs and Luke always had encouraging words for me while I was trying to be there for my son, I hope he knew how much I appreciated him. 4yrs? That is awesome, congrats ❤❤❤❤ hang in there, we are here to support and listen, Luke would be so proud of u, don’t ever doubt yourself, you did all you could to be there for Luke, he made that known. You both are very special, I admired you for coming on in the midst of your grieving. I pray for god to comforts ur broken heart 💔 ❤️🩹 😢 love and prayers to you and family🙏🙏🙏
Leah my heart is breaking for you! My prayers and love go out to you and all Of yours and Luke’s fam. Keep coming online and giving updates. We love ya!💕
Oh Leah 😢 my heart hurts for you. One day at a time baby girl. He’s proud of you . Congrats on almost 4 years! I’m in the same boat- 4 years 11/30. Luke seemed so genuine and kind. He was a real one. He was lucky to have you. ❤
I'm very sorry for your loss, Leah. God is near to the brokenhearted. I will pray for you in this difficult time. I would love to hear your story. I have just over 4 years clean as well.
You sharing your memories with him and your experiences is the best way to keep his story alive and honor him. Even though I only knew him through this platform, there was something that stood out about him and came across as so authentic, so genuine. He was more impactful than he knew and was such a bright light! Lean into these feelings and your goals/thoughts of sharing your story, and the loving people in this community will be here for you. You’re not alone and you don’t have to be!! Just give yourself time and take it all one day at a time. Sending you all the peace and love!! Take care of yourself ☮️ ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss 💜 he will always be remembered as a great person, gone to soon. Addiction can be an awful beast. I’ll be praying for you and your family and Luke’s family.
Thank you for sharing. You are a natural in front of that camera. I live the Northern accent. If you don't mind me asking what was Luke's cause of death
Hey Leah I was a mod of Luke's and been on his channel during a live before...i just found out... honestly it is hitting ne so fucking hard especially since I am fighting addiction as well right now....If i can ever do anything to help you in his memory i will.... RIP LUKE
I just lost my ex boyfriend a month ago due to this disease. I tried to help.him too but u know we are powerless over other people. Im really sad too and i im sad that another person is dead from this disease.
So very sorry for your loss Leah, your connection is clearly very deep and I wish I could take some of this pain away for you. Ive been there myself and it is such a hard hard devastating loss to go through. Please try and look after your health too he wouldn't wanna see you poorly, although it is very understandable right now. Time will make things seem clearer bless you and thanks for coming on an chatting like this. So much luv Lisa from Scotland 🏴. 💗💗
rest in peace me and luke had just made peace and had talked on the phone last week. He sounded like he had it turned around this time. Very sad outcome and I send my condolences from my wife and me
Leah, I just want you to know that I’m so sorry for your loss. I subscribed and I’m here for you if you ever need someone to talk to. I went through the exact same thing when I was 32 years old. It’s very hard to recover from this kind of loss. Sending you lots of Love. ~Cindy
Luke gave me so much hope, I find myself binge watching his videos...he tried so hard and he never gave up!! Your story could change the life of so many, please tell it.
Thank you for the update, Leah. I feel ya, I have bad anxiety & would be nervous to get on camera too. Thank you for your courage, especially while dealing with such a heartbreak. I am so, so very sorry! Hard to believe. We will keep Luke's memory alive🙏He's watching over. I'm sure he was so proud of you for getting on here! Sending many heartfelt condolences and prayers to you and his family🙏🙏🙏
Sending my prayers and love to you Leah & luke,s family & loved ones . I loved his videos & his journey I was really rooting for him , I'm in shock never thought it would end like this much love from the UK 🇬🇧 . 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Watching his old videos helped me beat my addiction……. eventually that is…… I didn’t know him personally, but there were many times where I felt like he was the only one who understood me. He was a WARRIOR!! And so are you! Addiction is a BEAST and only those who have walked that path will ever understand just HOW HARD IT IS!! My heart is broken for you and yours…… please take care. RIP Luke, I owe u my life and would trade places with u. No one would miss me anyways
I’m so glad to hear that Lucas was able to help you with your addiction 🥺 he helped me in so many ways as well. Addiction is a hard thing to overcome and I’m glad you were able to get through it! I’m sure there are many people who care about you so don’t say that about yourself. Lucas said the same thing and sooo many people miss him 💔
Leah bless your soul. I'm in tears as I'm watching this. I can feel your pain. Your love for Luke is indescribable. I always heard Luke speak of you and his relationship on videos. You guys had a strong bond I admired. Luke had a very infectious energy. I loved his honesty and you felt it in his videos. Addiction is a mf . 💔 it takes all the best ones. I call us tormented geniuses. Anyway I applaud your courage to start your RU-vid right now. Mad love to u. Luke is proud and stay strong through all of this. Much love and respect to you and I don't think Luke knew how much impact and love he had. LukeG TV we love you brother . May your soul rest in peace. ❤🙏
As I was scrolling my feed I came across Luke’s last livestream, I’ve been following his channel through my struggle for the better part of the past year + and I looked up to Luke as a mentor and someone who I aspired to be like, finding out the news has truly broken my heart and my condolences go out to you and Luke’s family I am awestruck and at a loss of words I just can’t believe this has happened he was truly a great person through and through, he was someone I would have gotten along with very well if we had been able to meet. I always watched his livestreams and his talks, it was great to see him grow and it’s truly horrible that he is gone. I hope all the best through this Leah 💔😢
I’m glad Lucas was able to help you. He helped so many and is truly missed. I miss him so much and wish this wasn’t true. He was so brave and honest in his videos. Thanks for your comment 🤍
This breaks my heart. I can see the pain in your eyes. I'm so sorry for your loss. This is absolutely awful what happened I still can't believe it. We are all here for you. Remember Luke is looking down and protecting you. ❤
I'm so so so sorry!!!! He was so funny and down to earth! I pray for you and his family and friends that you all will find the strength to get through this. Such a tragedy.
Im sorry to hear it ,we may not of seen eye to eye but i admire what he did with his time and energy and i can only imagine what your goimg through, we lost our 25 year old son to cancer recently so i feel your pain and know the struggle all to well ,may the lord help you during this time,
