I HAVE TRIED TO WRITE SOMETHING SEVERAL TIMES AND CAN’T FIND THE WORDS TO DO IT.IT FEELS LIKE DEJAVU TWO YOUNG MEN GONE LONG BEFORE THEY SHOULD HAVE.

I HAVE KNOWN LUKE FOR OVER A DECADE WE WERE BOTH SPONSORED BY GASPARI, SEEN HIM WIN HIS PRO CARD AND WATCH HIS CAREER GROW INTO SIGNING WITH REDCON1, PODCASTS, AND ON STAGE PLACING 3RD AT THE ARNOLD’S- VERY PROUD.

WE GOT CLOSER OVER THE YEARS, AND NOT A WEEK WOULD GO BY WITHOUT SOME SHIT TALK FROM HIM. LUKE WAS A VERY FUNNY GUY AND HIS HUMOR I WILL MISS. WE RARELY TALKED TRAINING, AND I KNEW LUKE WAS A DEEP GUY BUT I NEVER KNEW HE WAS HURTING.REST WELL BRO.

It’s truly sad to hear that Luke Sandoe lost the battle to the mental demons he was facing.
