Luke was born in Roswell to Glen Adrian Dunnahoo and Sonya Hoppes Dunnahoo on August 15, 1990. Our Heavenly Father called him home November 26, 2011. Lucas lived his entire life in Hagerman except for a few months in Artesia. Lucas had many options for college and a few of scholarships. He decided to take a chance on Nebraska and play foot ball early on Lucas decided that wasnt for him and came back to New Mexico. Along with the many things Lucas accomplished, he attended the training to become a Correctional Officer and was employed at Roswell Correctional Facility for a year. Then he wanted to weigh his options in Las Cruces with Tyler and RJ, staying another year and working at DoItBest Center. He moved back to his home town in 2010 where he began a new career at Wilbanks Trucking. He worked eighteen months for Wilbanks Trucking in Artesia where he made many friends. He was also part owner in 4D Transport.
Lucas graduated from Hagerman High School. He loved his time in school K12. Lucas was an All State and All Star football player. A Bobcat forever, like all of his family and friends.
Lucas, Tyler and RJ Dunnahoo were all raised like brothers, always hanging together through thick and thin. They did everything together. They loved their video games and always pranking someone, but it was always Tylers fault.
Lucas loved his knives and guns. There was nothing better than going shooting and grilling some steaks in the afternoon with the boys.
Baby was the guy that everyone wanted around at BBQs, they knew once he got there it would be a great time. Baby was the life of the party everyone loved to be around him, no matter where he was he always had a great time he ALWAYS made everyone smile. To say he will be missed is the understatement of the year. Baby you will always be on our minds and in our hearts forever. Lucas we love you and you will always be a big part of our lives.
