Luke Hargiss
Funeral services will be Tuesday for four-year-old Luke Bentley Hargiss, of Lakesite, who drowned in a farm pond on Thursday.
During a visit to a farm on Walden's Ridge, he wandered off and was found by his grandfather in the pond.
Family members said, "Luke was of the Baptist faith. He loved 'Woody' from the movie Toy Story and fried chicken. Luke had a very loving, outgoing personality. He loved everyone he met and always wanted a kiss on the lips before saying goodbye. A giving soul, Luke’s love will live on with his gift of organ donation. His best friends were Owen, Collin, Lily and Andrew."
Survivors include his parents, Jacob Tanner and Rachel Lynn Burchard Hargiss; sister, Lucie Belle Hargiss; grandparents, Billy and Lisa Hargiss, Patty Nelson Burchard, Michael, Sr. and Tina Burchard and Penny Wooden; and great-grandparents, Jeanene and Bobby Fannin, Linda Mikus and Sarah Wooden.
Services will be held Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. at the First Baptist Church of Soddy Daisy with Pastor Seton Tomyn and Dallas Bay Fire Department Chaplains Craig Paul, Jim Lewis and Joey Quarles officiating.
Visitation will be held on Monday from 4-8 p.m. and Tuesday, from 12-2 p.m. at the chapel of Williamson and Sons Funeral Home.
