Lucas Scott Cravens

Lucas Scott Cravens, born Feb. 7, 1994 in St. Louis, MO to proud parents Rick E. and Cindie J. (Schroeder) Cravens of Cedar Hill, MO. Luke passed away 01/09/18 at the age of 23.

He is survived by his parents and beloved grandchild of Ruben (Georgia) Cravens of Washington, MO, Sharon K. Cravens of House Springs and Marianne and the late Wilfred (Bill) Schroeder of Cedar Hill, MO.

Brother of Tom Barnett of Cedar Hill, MO and Ben Barnett of Pevely, MO.

Fiancé of Autumn McNail, the love of his life.

Luke had many aunts, uncles, cousins and two nieces that were very close to his heart. He was a friend to most everyone and a lot of them he considered family.

Luke loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, camping, spelunking, kayaking, canoeing and anything to do with a river. He was an avid hunter and excellent marksman. Luke won a master angler award at age 6.

Luke was a tree trimmer by trade and enjoyed the thrill of being in the biggest tree he could find – even if it wasn’t for pay.

Luke was a people lover and people loved him back. He will be very dearly missed by all who knew him.

    Luke stole my heart the day he was born. I watched him grow up to be a kind; fun loving young man and I will always treasure those memories.

    Sending prayers for my brother Rick, Cindie, Ben and Tom. May God watch over all of us in this difficult time.

    Love you all
    Karen

    Lucas was a hard headed but great person. I’ve known him for about 10 years. Tho I knew him in a professional way I still considered him as a friend. He always made me laugh or smile even if what we were dealing with wasn’t something to smile about. I was so very proud of his accomplishments and that I got to be apart of a very special day for him. Cindie, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I wish I could give you a hug!!! Please let me know if there is anything I can help you all with in the future. Much Love. Heather @ A&B.

    Its been 5 years…
    My heart still hurts…
    I wonder what things would be like today, what we’d talk about to catch up.. I miss you.. I’m like older older than you now… it’s weird.. they say the pain fades or whatever but it doesn’t, I miss you now more than ever as the years pass on and your still not here to see them with me… you are still my strength, sometimes you’re the only reason I make it through a day… I love you Luke, forever.
