Jake Logan Luther, 26, caring husband, adoring stepfather and loyal friend to many, passed away November 5, 2022. He began his life of overcoming odds when he defied the doctor’s prognosis and was born on September 10, 1996, in Wichita to his loving mother Nancy Carloyn Luther, who preceded him in death in 2016.
Jake was a survivor of accidents at ages 10 and 25, both requiring him to learn to walk again. He persevered through physical and emotional pain to provide for his family and to make everyone around him laugh and feel loved. Jake’s grit and strong will showed up in the way he loved people deep enough to speak the truth and fearlessly share the good news of Jesus. Jake was actively involved at Revolution Church and pursued fellowship with his Journey Family, Bikers for Christ and his many loving friends. He found purpose serving the guests at the Salina Rescue Mission and working with individuals of all ages with disabilities. He was a child at heart who loved finding creative ways to play with his stepchildren. He loved spoiling them, cheering for them, and taking them on motorcycle rides. He adored his wife Ashley and stepped into the husband and stepfather role with pride and honor. He was a brave brother running the dangerous “sweep” position when riding with his fellow members of Bikers for Christ. Yet he was also a softie earning the nickname ‘June Bug’ from his wife because of his fear of the insect.
He is survived by his loving wife, Ashley Marie Luther and stepchildren Briley Vallejo, Amadeus Vallejo, and BellaRose Kitchen; his father, Loran Walter Luther; stepmother, Starla Fauci-Wills; sisters, Orion Fauci-Wills and Serenity Reeves; dear friend, Tyler Wolf and the many other friends and family Jake touched during his life.
In addition to his mother Nancy, Jake is preceded in death by his grandparents, Clifford and Ruth Spear and Logan and Tonya Luther.
One of Jake’s favorite verses: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
