Christopher Furd Lucas, Brookings, SD—Christopher Furd Lucas passed away recently, just shy of his 36th birthday, leaving behind a community in mourning. Known affectionately as “Furd,” Christopher was a cherished friend and neighbor whose sudden passing has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew him.
Christopher’s untimely death profoundly affects his loved ones. A fundraiser organized by Anthony Murray has been set up to help cover the funeral expenses and support the family during this difficult time. The GoFundMe campaign has raised $1,675 of its $5,000 goal from seven generous donors, including contributions from Riley Boese, Shon McKee, Justin Vignes, Brooke Carsrud, and Abraham Thasing.
Many have shared their grief and condolences on Facebook. Jake Murray expressed his sadness and encouraged others to contribute to the fundraiser. Jason Johnson simply wrote, "Omg…" while Maren Dewar sent all her love to those affected. Elise Pokel expressed her devastation and offered her support to Jake and their mutual friends. Lisa Dahl sent wishes for love and peace, and Vicki Saffel, Christopher’s former next-door neighbor, shared her shock and condolences upon learning the news.
Chany Evans shared the heart-wrenching detail that Christopher never fully recovered from the death of his sister eight years ago. The pain of that loss was compounded by the fact that he did not have children of his own but was often seen with his nephew, his sister’s son. The emotional toll was immense, and it is a poignant reminder of the deep connections we share with our loved ones.
The community has rallied together, showing an outpouring of support for Christopher’s family. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 10th, at 4:00 pm at Greenwood Cemetery.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Christopher Furd Lucas. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
