Luke Christopher, 17, died June 10, taking his own life, according to the Lewiston Police Department.
Christopher would have been a senior at LHS this fall. He was active with football, and put his heart in the game.
He was cherished by too many friends to count, who all had only but good things to say about him. He helped the people who he thought needed help, friends remembered. He focused on friends when he saw their expressions change throughout the day.
He wasn’t just an ordinary kid, he had a certain quality of empathy about him that no one else had. He was sweet, kind, and without a doubt wonderful to his friends and family. Christopher was always someone who anyone could turn to in a time of crisis, someone that anyone and everyone could talk to. Christopher focused more on those around him than on himself, friends said. He was too kind for his own heart.
At his memorial service June 16 at St. Stanislaus Church in Lewiston, his family asked everyone who attended to wear brightly colored clothes, especially his favorite, hot pink. The colorful clothing lit the service like a rainbow on a rainy day.
