Sorry for your loss man. Sounds like he was a great guy.

He was, one of the most genuine good hearted people you could meet. Had the time of day for anyone training in the gym, always encouranging. Pretty good football player for st Chrissy's in his early days too.

You know those are for your liver and not for your kidneys right?

Do you know what he was taking when he died?

So sad to hear and to young to die

**Swifto** · 09-01-2011, 12:56 PM

Chronic high BP will cause your kidney's serious trouble. And... We all know what increases BP.

I've followed this the last few days and I saw he had surgery and his body rejected the new kedney's... He went home on medication, but seems he go into trouble.

RIP.

RIP Brother

RIP man been reading about this on every board. Seems like he was a good guy.

jez, very young, how long was he in the game?

**auslifta** · 09-01-2011, 09:28 PM

Bodybuilding about 18 years, he was a genetic freak though (didnt start gear until later than most pros do). At school I remember him having massive quads just from footy. It's overused when people say how goodhearted a person was after they died, but with luke it's an understatement.

sorry to hear

**Shol'va** · 09-01-2011, 10:30 PM

I echo what everyone else has said. I only wish he was 96 instead of 34 when he died. I hate it when good people die young. We will probably hear all the BS associated with BB'ing deaths at a young age soon if it hasn't already begun........
