Such a loss
I didn't know how accurate I was in my last column about how many people would be impacted by the drowning of a 19-year-old at Lake Powell on Sept. 20.
I received several e-mails regarding the column about the circumstances that took the life of Luke Rogers. A ranger at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area sent an e-mail yesterday to say they had finally found the body and were in the process of recovery. Last night an e-mail from Luke's uncle arrived. He said 1,500 people attended a memorial service for Luke. He also attached a link to a video of Luke. I'm glad Luke has been found for the comfort of his family. Such a loss.

Thank you for finally seeing how important Luke was instead of chastising his death. He was a beautiful, amazing person and I can't even tell you how many people loved him. Everyone who ever met him knew him to the fullest because he was just that real and full of heart. This has been an etremely hard thing for the communities at his college and home and I appreciate you making another, more heartfelt entry about Luke. We will never stop mourning Luke.
