Francis' Obituary
Francis “Frank” George Luke passed away on January 1, 2024. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on January 27, 2024, at Hillcrest Lawn Memorial Chapel in Great Falls, MT.
Frank was born on September 7, 1957, to Francis George Luke and Joan Birmingham in Bronxsville, NY. He attended Scarsdale High School. Upon graduation his sense of adventure and wandering spirit led him to Bozeman, MT where he began taking classes at Montana State University, eventually earning a degree in civil engineering. He fell in love with everything in Montana, making his home in Bozeman for many years before moving to Black Eagle in 1996. Since that time, he was employed as a project manager and estimator by Shumaker Trucking and Excavating. After 28 years, he was looking forward to retirement in April.
In his younger days, Frank loved hunting, fishing, snorkeling, and playing golf. He was interested in gun and coin collecting, history, and had a deep reverence for all things military. As the son of a Police Officer and later a Fireman in New York City, NY he had an immense appreciation and respect for those who serve our communities in these capacities. He was always engaging toward others, talking to everyone and anyone. A real character and one-of-a-kind person, he endeared himself to everyone he met with his quick wit, humility, and unique personality. He had a warm heart and soul and will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him. Rest in peace Frank.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father. He is survived by his beloved uncle, Richard (Mary Ann) Luke of West Caldwell, NJ; sister, Marni Corrigan of Libertyville, IL; brother-in-law, Larry Corrigan of Libertyville, IL; 2 nieces, whom he adored, Mikaila and Kelsey Corrigan; and his many cousins back East.
