Hollywood has mourned the loss of several celebrities in 2024, including Speed Racer star Christian Oliver, who died in a fatal plane crash at the age of 51.

Beckey fondly remembered her husband as an “amazing person” who showed her how to be strong even in the toughest times. “He was an amazing dad, son, and husband,” she added.

Luke was diagnosed with stage 4 Leiomyosarcoma, a rare type of cancer that begins in smooth muscle tissue, in August 2022. Despite the grim prognosis, he continued to raise awareness and funds for individuals suffering from the diagnosis, using his social media platforms to organize charity events.

In his final YouTube video, posted on July 18, Luke shared that his condition was deteriorating rapidly. Despite his struggles, he remained determined to stay positive and fight against the cancer.

Luke also created a crowdfunding page to support his family during his diagnosis, with the goal of ensuring they could continue to make happy memories together.

As Luke’s family navigates this difficult time, Beckey urged them to stay strong and continue to hold their heads high, just as Luke would have wanted.
