Galveston, Texas (formerly of Racine) – Born into this world 11/12/79 and left this world 06/19/18. Luke leaves behind his loving parents Colleen and Albert Totero, Carl (Renae) Pavilonis, sisters Abby Totero and Anne Totero, nephew Carter, special friend Penny, his beloved dog Friday, extended family and many friends. Luke was a loving and giving person to all, an avid outdoorsman, fisherman, welder, scientist, conservationist, and Master Diver. He graduated from UW-Milwaukee (conservation), Galveston College (welding) and worked for NOAA, wind energy, fishing, and restaurant industries. He volunteered working bird sanctuary/rehabilitation and sea turtle rescue. Luke enjoyed time with his family, friends, adventure, the ocean, all animals, and traveling. He will be forever and dearly missed. A private memorial service is planned. Donations in Luke's name are suggested to the Humane Society or conservation effort of choice.

Luke's family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our extended family, Penny, and Michael Langendorf of Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home for their kindness and care during this time.
