I’m sure all of Lucas’s friends aren’t surprised to hear that Lucas made
\nsuch a strong impact on my life and the life of my friends over the past
\nyear. I was fortunate to know him for quite a while because of Kristen
\nand Jacob, but it wasn’t until Jacob moved back to Montgomery from
\nAuburn that I really got to know him on a real personal basis. One of
\nmy favorite memories came on one of the legendary weeks that Jacob
\nbabysat for Marshall Long. Lucas was there the entire time (even when
\nJacob was at work then at night school). He would call me when school
\ngot out to find out when we were coming over to hang out. One night,
\nJacob, Lucas, Marshall, and I went to Shogun (by Lucas’s
\nreccomendation). As they served up the noodles, veggies, and rice, we
\nnoticed Lucas would not even think of touching his plate. I asked him
\nwhat the deal was, and he told me he always waited until all of the food
\nwas ready. Then he would devour it all at once. After about 5 beers,
\nthis monster plate of food was ready in front of Lucas. No exaggeration
\n– before any of us were even 1\/4 of the way done with our main meal (we
\nhad already eaten the noodles and rice), Lucas’s plate was clean. Over
\nthe 45 minutes we sat there, Lucas managed to make friends with the
\ncook, and he cheered him on through each stage of the cooking. I
\nremember he stood up and let out a good “Choo choooo!” as the cook
\npushed the flaming volcano of onions across the grill (picture the
\nArsenio Hall fist pump). He introduced himself to everyone at the table
\nand had these strangers laughing so hard that they were having trouble
\neven beginning to eat. Afterwords, Jacob had to go to class at AUM.
\nLucas, Marshall and I rode around blaring the Dukes of Hazzard Theme,
\nsome Ben Harper songs, and everything else on “Lucas Mix #3”. He
\nenjoyed hanging out with us just as much as we did with him. I feel
\nprivileged to say that Lucas Harris was my friend. Lucas called me on
\nAugust 1st at about 5:30pm to tell me that some books Jacob had ordered
\nhad been delivered to the house. Sounded goofy and happy to talk to one
\nof his “little brother type” friends as he always did. I had plans to
\ngo out there in the next couple days to pick the package up for Jacob
\nand just to get a couple of good Lucas stories. I’ve never met an
\nindividual before who could make people laugh harder than him. Every
\ntime he was around, people were rolling on the floor. Lucas Harris
\nplayed a huge role in my senior year of high school, and I will never
\nforget how much fun we all had listening to his stories.<\/p>\n
