Luke Christopher Moulton
Desert Hills Fire Lieutenant
June 6, 1980 – June 12, 2009

Luke Christopher Moulton, 29, passed away Friday. He was born on June 6, 1980, in Lake Havasu City, to Timothy K. Moulton and Julie (Sallee) Moulton.

Luke attended Starline Elementary School and later graduated from Desert Tech. Following graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy for three years, where he worked with computers, programming Tomahawk Missiles. Upon his discharge, Luke moved back to Lake Havasu City. He soon decided to follow his father's footsteps and became a firefighter for the Desert Hills Fire Department. Luke was a certified scuba diver, EMT, Wild Land Firefighter trained in high angle and rope rescue, just to name a few of his many accomplishments he had achieved during the past few years. In addition to being a fireman, Luke also taught tae kwon do to a group of local children. He was a red belt.

He was always up for the challenge of a new task and he could always be depended on to get the job done right the first time, no matter how big or small it was.

Luke was an avid bowler, winning several trophies and award patches. He loved doing things outdoors, whether it was playing sports or going hiking in the desert or climbing in the mountains.

Luke had a big heart and really loved life and was a joy to be around. His younger stepbrother and sister really looked up to him and were proud of their older brother, “The Fireman.”

Luke will be missed by his family, including his extended family of firefighters and by his many friends.
