Luke Hoyer
Age 15
Parkland, Florida
Student, athlete, son, brother, missed forever
He had a contagious smile. A passion for basketball. An endearing fondness for chicken nuggets. Next year, he was going to try out for his school's football team as a rising sophomore.
Reserved, he was so sparse with words he was crowned “the king of one-word answers” by a fellow freshman. But he wasn’t shy about making making people around him smile to match the grin he often wore on his face. Those who knew him appreciated his dry humor, loyalty and kindness.
Luke Hoyer, 15, was killed on Feb. 14, 2018, in a hallway at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on his way back to class from the library.
