Philip O. Luke

Our Brother, Uncle, Great Uncle, and loving friend to many has now returned home to his Heavenly Father.

Philip Odeen Luke was born April 6, 1938, in Junction, Utah, to Alton and Wilma Luke. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology in 1960. After 34 years working in the Aerospace industry with Hercules Inc., he bought a motorhome and traveled the

United States (covering all but 3 states) and most of Canada. Phil resided in Palm Desert, California for many years before deciding to move back to Salt Lake City to spend his golden years with family. Phil enjoyed his retirement which included going to the gym, watching BYU and Jazz basketball (often via recording after he found out if they won) and family gatherings. Phil was loved and adored by all that he encountered; this gentle soul will live on in all our hearts for eternity.

Preceded in death by his parents, brothers; Bobby, Craig, and Garth. Survived by his sister Marlyn and numerous nieces and nephews.
