Today we lost a son, a brother, a friend, and a warrior. Have never seen a person battle like Luke Laufenberg, but he lost his fight with cancer. He was truly inspirational. The hole in our hearts will never be filled. You are my hero. RIP my sweet Luke. See you on the other side

We can debate ad nauseam the merits of Jason Garrett’s coaching tenure with the Cowboys. Here is what I know- after working 14–16 hour days, he showed up late at night, unannounced, for the last 3 days of Luke’s life. That is what I know.

It was 98 degrees on July 10. Luke had lifted weights and was working on his routes. I loved coaching him. Receptive to coaching. Two days later, he was told he had 2-8 weeks to live. All he wanted in life was to play football. TY @UTEPAthletics @UTEPFB

I took Luke to the Nike store. He had $30 left on a gift card. He found something that was $50. I told him I would pay the difference. He said, “nah, that’s too much money.” He knew he had 2-8 weeks to live. Who thinks like that? I would have bought him the store. #LiveLikeLuke

Met Jacob when he was in the same hospital as our Luke, both battling cancer. Sadly, Jacob has now left us, as well. A piece of my heart goes with him. As Sean Payton told me, “children go immediately to heaven.” Luke is there and I promise he will take good care of Jacob #RIP

Happy Birthday to Luke. Would have been 26 today. Knew on his 21st we may not get a chance to celebrate number 22. You ask yourself how can there be 8 billion people on the planet and one less rips your heart out? Luke, you were such a healthy eater but have some cake today

Today is “one of those days.” July 12. Full body CAT scan and walked into a small exam room where doctor told Luke, treatment had failed and he had “2-8 weeks to live.” All these photos came after he learned he had weeks to live. We should all have these smiles #LiveLikeLuke

Remember the kindness on opening day of ⁦ @Rangers ⁩ GM Jon Daniels. Luke had the option of palliative care after relapse. Had 24 hours, & when doctor came n to get his decision, he said, “if I am going down, I am going down swinging.” Told Jon the story and this bat arrived

1 year ago today Luke was told he was terminal. 2-8 weeks to live. Worst day of my life. I was numb. He came home and said, “I want everything to be the same.” He was a hard working kid and I think he thought he would work the cancer out of his body. #LiveLikeLuke

Met up with a great group of Luke’s friends for coffee and reminiscing at Foxtrot. And it “wasn’t the coffee we were after.” We all sported our “Luke” ⁦ @UTEPFB ⁩ shirts.And Luke, they told some stories on you I did not know about, so you are in trouble next time I see you!
