If you performed an internet search for Luke Roux prior to June 25, 2022, you might not find a lot of information; in fact, you would likely find nothing. 

Luke was the opposite of flashy.  He didn’t create an image or persona online. He was who he was.  Action not words.  

Luke represented the best elements of Christianity by living a simple life rooted in love and kindness for those around him.  He was a young man of few words. When words were needed, they were real, and always kind.

Discipline is another word that comes to mind when you think about Luke.

By his choice…sleep, diet, and activities were executed with consistency and precision.  Luke took great care of himself, so that he could be his best and able to help anyone, at any time.  Some of his friends would joke with him saying, “Luke has a government mandated bedtime.”  This allowed him to operate at peak performance all of the time.  We would all benefit from living our lives more like Luke did. Seems like a very simple and regimented individual; however, those that were close to Luke knew that the only thing simple about him was his lack of needing anything beyond what was essential.

• Luke was an athlete: ice hockey, baseball, tennis, swimming, and his latest passion disc golf. 
• Luke was a gamer and participated in e-sports events. 
• Luke was a lover of music and a musician: an eclectic taste in music mostly leaning toward progressive rock, and accomplished on drums, violin, and guitar.
•  Luke was a scholar: math was by far his biggest strength, and he graduated high school with first honors. UConn recognized his strength and interest in math by awarding him academic scholarship support.

Luke was prepared and fully equipped to continue spreading his love and kindness beyond his family, friends, and the Farmington community before his life was cut short.
