Luke M. Schwegman, age 23 of Batesville, died Sunday, August 1, 2021. Born March 22, 1998 in Batesville, he is the son of Margie (Nee: Biltz) Schwegman and Mike Schwegman. He was a truck driver for Harmeyer Transport.
Calling Luke an avid outdoorsman would be an understatement. He loved the outdoors. Each year, he anxiously looked forward to August 15th and the opening of squirrel season. The same for deer season as well. He was just as passionate about fishing, kayaking and RZR riding. Luke was hard working and showed a work ethic well beyond his age. His family teased that he projected a gruffy, callous attitude, but in reality he was a softy. He doted on and spoiled his dog Lucy and loved his family dearly. He was close with his brother and would do anything he could for his grandparents.
Luke is survived by his mother Margie Schwegman; father Mike Schwegman; brother Mathias Schwegman, all of Batesville; paternal grandparents Linda and Wilfred (Shorty) Schwegman of St. Mary’s; maternal grandparents Carol Schwegman and Mike Biltz, both of Oldenburg and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He is preceded in death by his uncle and godfather, Rick Schwegman.
Visitation is Thursday, August 5th, from 4 – 7 p.m. at the Weigel Funeral Home. Funeral services are 10 a.m. Friday, August 6th at Holy Family Church in Oldenburg. Burial will follow at St. Mary’s of the Rock Cemetery. The family requests memorials to the St. Mary’s Church Preservation Society or the Holy Family Church Capital Improvement Fund.
