Gifts from the Heart in Memory of Lucas R Banks
Lucas R Banks was born on November 26, 2002 in Seattle, WA to Lisa Watt Banks and Michael Anthony Banks and was brought home from the hospital on Thanksgiving day. When Lucas was two years old, he and his parents traveled to China where he became the best big brother to Maile Banks.
Lucas was an adventurous person who loved goofing around, dancing and having fun, and always extended himself to help out and support people in any way he could. He is remembered as a free-spirit who cared deeply for people and wanted to make the world a better place.
In 2021 Lucas moved to Oahu, Hawaii to start a new adventure and journey. He loved Hawaii, the Aloha spirit and the people who lived it. Following the devastating wildfires on the island of Maui, Lucas considered moving to Maui to help where needed and possibly help rebuild Lahaina town.
The world lost Lucas on August 21, 2023.
In honor and memory of Lucas R Banks, the family would like to continue Lucas’ legacy of helping people and generously giving a gift that will keep on giving for years to come – the priceless gift of a decent home for a family in need.
Lucas R Banks Gifts from the Heart will help to build a home that will change the lives of a family who otherwise could not afford a safe and decent home.
Consider joining the family’s efforts by making a donation In Memory of Lucas R Banks.
Keeping Lucas’s Legacy Alive
Lucas’s ohana, who raised $150,000 to help support the construction of a new home for a local family, joined us from August 20th to August 24th to mark the year anniversary of his passing. They spent the week working side by side with our construction team in Kula. Click each picture to see the special ways they honored his memory during their time with us.
Lucas was included in each day by gathering in opening and closing circles.
Lei’s were made by the group and stacked on Lisa and Mike on their shared birthday!
A mango tree was planted to grow and gift the homeowners with fruit for years to come.
Lucas’s Ohana put the roof joists on this house in Kula.
