Born on December 23, 1976, to J.J. and Cherry Ruffino, Luke was a lifetime resident of Bryan, Texas. He graduated from Bryan High School in 1995. Growing up Luke was a natural athlete playing multiple sports. Throughout his adult life he always enjoyed being out on the golf course with his buddies and telling a good story. He also showed his competitive spirit playing pool, darts, and dominoes. He was an avid fan of Texas A&M sports, especially football.
Luke loved water sports especially skiing, and his fondest memories growing up were with his Aunt Roro at the lake. He held a special place in his heart for Camp Creek and all of the memories made there especially early mornings on the boat with his Momma.
Luke was known for serving customers through hospitality and events. There’s no doubt that if you were his friend, then you were his friend forever.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Luke and Josephine Lampo Ruffino, Gene and Thelma Brown; and uncle, Ricky Ray Brown.

When God calls us home what a glorious day it is.. Pray and celebrate Luke’s life.
Going to his eternal home is a blessing beyond measure.
Oh, how my heart breaks for your family. We don’t expect to outlive our precious children
but our Saviour had other plans for Luke. I’m sure his Grandmother Jobey was at the gate welcoming
Luke to enter the Pearly Gates. You probably weren’t aware that Jobey would bring Luke with her to
visit me when he was just a little fella. March 1 was Lila’s Birthday so when I called her I shared your sad news with Lila. Even though Lila has been stricken with Dementia now, she remembered Luke & Jobey. I so enjoyed seeing the two of you at my Ed’s service – thank you so much for sharing my grief. May the Lord Bless and continue holding all of your family in the Palm of his Hands. My Love, Bea
JJ and Cherry,
I was saddened to see that Luke had passed into the loving arms of Jesus. I found him to be quite a joy to sit and visit with over the years. Lisa and I understand the hole that you feel in your hearts having lost two sons. Remember to fill the edges of that hole with the loving memories of Luke. Our thoughts and prayers for you and the entire family are with you.
Dean and Lisa Coffer
