Luke Matthew Roux

Luke Matthew Roux, son of Stephen and Carri Roux, passed away on June 25, 2022, at 17 years young. He completed the Roux family on October 15, 2004, joining his older brothers Nathan and Edison. His entire life was spent in his hometown of Farmington, Connecticut and was full of family and friendships. However, on his way home, following a route that he had taken many times, his car was struck by another vehicle at an intersection just two miles from home. Luke’s life ended in an instant and cast a shadow across so many hearts. Throughout Luke's life he was dedicated to his Faith, family, and friends and teammates. He represented all the best facets of Christianity living a simple life rooted in love and kindness for those around him. Luke was a true example to others. He was a young man of few words however, when words were needed, they were authentic and always kind. Luke had dedication and determination in athletics including, ice hockey, baseball, tennis, swimming, and his most recent passion of disc golf. In his down time, Luke was a gamer and participated in competitive e-sports events. Luke was also passionate about music with an eclectic taste favoring progressive rock. He was a gifted drummer and also played the violin, keyboards, and guitar. Luke was an accomplished scholar with math by far being his biggest strength. He recently graduated High School with first honors. Luke was to begin his journey to college in the fall as a freshman, at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, where he would have joined his two brothers, and was wildly optimistic about what came next. The Farmington Police Department, Farmington High School staff, the entire community, and its surrounding towns have demonstrated incredible support to the Roux family, as well as all of those impacted by the loss of Luke.
