That was an outstanding piece, indeed.

Just so sad. He was so full of promise, and then the accident....he had really seemed to have gotten himself to a good place. My condolences to his family and friends. Especially to his parents. No parent should ever have to bury their child.

"This is the lesson that Jeff Lukas leaves behind. We are a society of complainers, railing at the inconveniences of a narrow airplane seat or a slow Internet connection. Jeff had his entire life taken away—a big life—and embraced his new one."

to me , its somewhat profound, how one sentence can put life into perspective..

Oh, I am in tears! RIP, Jeff, with your lovely gray mares. Dallas Stewart was awesome in recalling Jeff on Steve's Show.
