This is Canada, so luckily no medical bills.

This is a worthwhile idea. A fund in Lukas's name will provide the family an anchor to which to hold on to in the difficult time ahead. It will allow them an opportunity to fund raise (which will make them feel like they are doing something for their dad/husband even after he is not around) and it also makes his name and all he stood for immortal.

The best funds are the ones where the principle gets invested (thus keeping the fund for ever) and the interest is used for whatever charitable work is desired.

I unfortunately have experience in this area, and Lukas's wife is more then welcome to talk to me whenever she is ready or if she thinks this is a good idea. Fund raising for a fund is not easy, but it does give those that are grieving a goal, a reason, a focus.

Let me know.

I usually do not get emotional but this thread took me. I was able to keep my cool until I saw his picture in hospital gown. I think I shed a tear . Someone as young as Lukas it's just so sad to see him go. He had a full life ahead of him. He had dreams that suppose to turn reality, he had places to go/people to see, tracks to race on, play with grandkids etc - but it's all been taken away from him. So so unfortunate. I DO work very closely with cancer patients and I know what they go through. It's one of the harder (if not, THE hardest) thing anyone has to deal with. Cancer follows no rule or order.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Lukas passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I'd like to do few things:

1. I'm going to change the password of Lucas's account and have his wife/family come and say two words. DEpointfive0, please check your pm. I'll send you the password so that you can give it to his wife.

2. I think we should help his family directly with some fund. Funeral costs are very expansive. At this time, his family needs help. I will personally (Me and Trips) donate certain amount of money to his family/wife from THE370Z (and me). But if you guys feel that you guys want to donate as well, maybe we can setup a paypal account for his wife? Through this account, members can donate directly to the family? or donate using THE370Z link and I'll forward that money to her directly? I mean, I'll wait and see what method his family prefers. Lets wait on that.

I'm extremely saddened by this. Those of you reading this, please live life to the fullest because you never know when it'll be taken away from you. You may have passed away Lukas but you'll always be in our heart

My sincere condolence to his family.
One of Gods son finally went home. I know this obscured but I do celebrate for Lucas journey back home to the Father.

No more pain, no more sorrow. Now I do ask for Lucas to intercede in our behalf that God may provide us more life to enjoy every moment with our Love ones.

Lucas I may not know you personally but I would say Im glad you made it back home. You have not lost the battle for you have won and touched others life to appreciate everything no matter how small.

To your family I pray for courage and strength that may you pass this trying times in your life. But God do have his own purpose for this. We cant possibly fathom the reason now but one day you will understand why, God will show you great things just trust in Him. I know the pain will stay forever but I pray for Gods love to heal that pain.

In Death comes Life, to be born again one has to die first.
Jesus Christ had said this same words before He died on the cross.

So i would say Lucas is alive but he is in another world now. Be glad and one day
It inevitable you will see each other again

Stead fast our prayers and support be with your family.

Reading this made me quite sad, but it is great to see a group of people from all over come together for a fellow enthusiast. May he rest in peace and my sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

I'm so sorry to hear about this. Loss of a family member is very hard to deal with as I'm sure a lot of us have dealt with this in the past too. God speed to Lucas and his family and I will have them in my thoughts and prayers. Everyone love life and those around you. That's all that matters.

Hello, my name is Jennifer I'm Lukas' wife (zakimak). I thought I'll post this reading of how I feel.

TO MY LOVE, MY HONEY...
Such an amazing man/husband/father, so wonderful and so full of life
A strong man and wise, a man to lean upon and trust
Holding me against him so warm and sweet, I’m his wife and his angel he say
Kissing me tenderly, he gathered my soul, holding it tight
I felt so safe, so desired, so loved the world was my play yard, my lala land with no trouble or strife
Then came the wild wind, the storm of disease -CANCER taking him from me, US
Breath by breath my heart shattered, his strength waned, but he fought a good fight
Now he is gone, I see him here no more only in dreams and the whisper of my mind can he live the malignant demon, the destroyer of life, took my honey from me
Every night I wonder why he has to go he has to die
Every night I lay thinking why I am sitting here having a cry
Every night I think the worse who fault was it was it a curse
Every night I lay to sleep cuddle my pillow and begin to weep
Why it was him and not me, he is such a delight
His suffering and pain, his fear and his doubts
Why him and not me, he doesn’t deserve pain
His beauty and grace, his compassion and joy
Why him and not me, life is so… why?
It’s hard to explain just how I feel
This moment in my life just seems so unreal
It was only months ago you were up and on the go
No one could have imagined that this would unfold
Into a nightmare that we can’t escape
The site of you in so much pain, distress and despair
I wish God/Buddha would just take you there
Away from the struggle you are fighting so hard, you never gave up
To a place of serenity where you will be peaceful and calm
I never thought the day would arrive that I would watch my husband die
But today it seems the time is near, your sweet voice I will no longer hear
Your smile, your XOXO and your loving ways I will always treasure
You have left a hallmark in our hearts that will last forever and ever and ever.
RIP my honey… We will be forever yours. We love you!

You are the ones from near and far who made him feel the love.
You are the ones he fight. Thank you for giving the gift of the love.
Before he passed away he said "I love you brothers, you are my brothers, love laugh live everyday as if it's your last.
while he was trying to write is username and pw he passed out.
