Sterling Blake Lucas was born on April 1, 1974 to Stanley Edward Lucas Jr and Trudy Ann Larson. On April 18, 2018 Sterling returned home to his Heavenly Father.
Sterling was a loving son, brother, uncle, grandson and friend. Most importantly, Sterling was an incredibly lovingfather to his son Blake, who was the whole world to him.
As a young boy, Sterling was full of energy and adventure. He seemed fearless in the outdoors. One time during a family trip to Flaming Gorge when he was about 7 years old, he was found to be at the top of an extremely high tree trying to catch a squirrel much to the surprise and panic of his parents!
Sterling loved to ski. As a young adolescent, he would go as fast as he could down the front of the slopes. Later he would pick up snowboarding as he was also into skateboarding in his teens. Sterling loved music and in fact had an amazing voice! Sterling loved biking in all its forms. He absolutely loved the mountains. He enjoyed rock climbing, hiking and just being in nature. Sterling had a great sense of humor and in fact there is a story of Sterling and his friends setting up camp right near a cliff where a gust of high winds blew the tent and Sterling, who was sitting in his chair, right off the cliff! After panicked friends franticly called out to Sterling, he climbed up those rocks and said \"I\m the only @%\"#$ that could fall off a cliff and get back in my chair!\" Oh, there are so many funny stories of Sterling and his adventures that we will cherish.
Sterling\s greatest joy in his life was his son, Blake. He was an amazing father who loved him more than anything in this world. He loved every minute of his time with him and was always proudly speaking to others about his son.
Sterling was a good man. He had a kind loving soul. He always tried to make someone smile and lift them up withhis love and humor. He was a hard worker who valued a hard day\s work. An honorable man.
