Luke Copeland is the son of John and Mary Copeland
and the brother of Lydia Copeland, all of Clinton, Tennessee.
Luke was a junior at Anderson County High School
at the time of his death. An accomplished musician,
Luke played drums for the ACHS marching, concert and jazz bands.
He was a kind, gentle soul who would willingly give
the shirt off his back to someone in need.
He died of depression at 9:00 p.m. on Monday,
September 16, 1996.

Luke's gravestone, with drums on each side and
the Biblical phrase, "Blessed are the Pure in Heart
for They Shall See God."


Just before the second anniversary of Luke's death, this
beautiful cross appeared next to his headstone.
We recently found out who left this precious gift.
Jason Patton, a fellow ACHS band drummer,
made this lovely cross. Then, he
and fellow-drummer Jason Jones set it up at Luke's grave.
Thank you both! We are so grateful for this beautiful gift!
It's wonderful to know others remember and care for Luke.
THANK YOU!
