Keith Luker

Keith Luker, a man who could out-fish the best of them and out-laugh any somber moment, has taken his final bow on life's stage on November 20, 2023. Born on August 21, 1956, in the quaint town of Pelzer, SC, Keith's journey through life was as rich and full as the laughter he spread
In the town of Greenville, SC, Keith's final curtain call came quietly, surrounded by the love and warmth of his family. He leaves behind a legacy of joy, a loving wife, Darlene Luker, who matched his wit step for step; a daughter, April Hufflin, who inherited his sparkling eyes and his knack for storytelling; a son, Michael Luker, who will carry on his father's legacy of spirited humor; and a brother, Larry Luker, his partner in crime and fishing. Keith reunites with his late parents, Lou Ellen Elrod Luker and Roy Luker, and his sister, Pat Clark, in a place where the fish always bite, and the Westerns play on repeat.
Keith's professional life was spent high among the branches as the bossman at Franklin Tree Service and Davey Tree. His leadership was rooted in strength and kindness, and he nurtured growth not just in trees, but in the people around him
Outside of work, Keith was a man of simple pleasures and grand love. His eight grandkids and three step-grandkids knew him as the grandpa who could turn any chore into an adventure and any frown upside down. Keith's idea of the perfect day was a morning spent with his line in the water, an afternoon telling tales with Larry, and an evening with the family, a Western flickering on the screen, and his laughter filling the room.
Keith was the embodiment of love, a funny bone in human form, and a spirit that refused to be tamed. Friends and family will remember his jokes, which were as well-timed as a punchline at a comedy show, and his ability to find the humor in any situation.
As we bid farewell to Keith Luker, let us not say goodbye but rather "see you later," for his stories, his laughter, and his love are with us still. They're in the rustling leaves and the chuckles shared during a classic Western shootout.
In the grand comedy of life, Keith played every part with gusto and left the audience—his family and friends—wanting more. So here's to you, Keith, the man who taught us that the best way to live is with a fishing rod in one hand, a joke at the ready, and a heart full of love. Your final act may have ended, but the encore of your memory will play on forever.
