Unexpectedly on March 30, 2024, at just 32. Forever the best daddy to Addie and Parker. Incredibly loved and devoted husband of Brooke. Cherished son of Janeen and Paul Mullinger, son-in-law to Jo-Anne and Kelston Swete. The best brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend.
With a broken heart, Brooke will continue to pursue Luke’s dreams,
and make sure you always order one more coffee for him.

We were blown away by the sad news of your passing.
It is hard to believe that we will not see your infectious smile when we travel south and stopping in to get our coffee from you. We will now have to repeat our order that you always remembered.
RIP Luke your beautiful legacy will live on for sure xxx
Thinking of you all Brooke as you search for the new normal in your lives xx

As I sit here in the beautiful sun shining down on your beautiful send off today Luke. I wanna take this time to send all the love to your baby’s and wife at this time. You were the bestest coffee maker I ever came across. I wish I had the courage to come down for your send off today. I have major anxiety problems in public. I will always treasure our talks we had each morning at the coffee cart. Much love Luke. Rest in eternal love. Love Vee

Dear Luke, when my wife and I moved into Purkiss Street we said the only thing missing around here was a scent coffee cart just around the corner. Well, didn't you fill that hole Big Time. We used to play a game, I'd order the coffees and pass Renee hers, she'd take a draw and say, "yes that's one of Lukes". Not only were you awesome at what you did, you were able to connect so easily. Whether we talked of the perils of business (around Covid) or sharing the thrill of fatherhood, the connection you created with others was what we will remember most. It was never "just a coffee" with you.
We will miss you. Rest easy my friend. Mark n Renee x

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Luke was incredible person and was always smiling. I first meet him in muffin break when he worked along side my older sister Rowena & Mylene. We are heart broken to hear his passing. Rest in peace Luke
