A Special Blessing for Emerge

"Kickin' It With Luke" Memorial Fund donates $12,000 to Emerge for a Client Van and Outdoor Activities

Lucas "Luke" K. Stoddard, age 29 of Dayton, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, May 10, 2017. Luke was born on October 27, 1987 at a whopping 12 pounds and remained larger than life for the next 29 years.

He was a 2006 graduate of Northmont High School and an avid European Soccer fan. Luke always had a twinkle in his beautiful blue eyes and a smile that would warm your heart. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew him, including a host of friends from coast to coast.

Luke is survived by his parents, Greg and Cindi Stoddard, and brother Zach.

The "Kickin' It With Luke" Memorial Fund has generously donated $12,000 to Emerge Recovery & Trade Initiative. This donation will fund a client van and outdoor activities for residents, helping them on their journey to recovery.

We are deeply grateful for this generous gift that honors Luke's memory while helping others rebuild their lives.
