The Himebaugh-Klaiss Family


OUR FAMILY

Luke and Mary met at Luke's best friends' wedding in 2004 and have been close friends ever since. They kept in contact and grew incredibly close throughout the years.

In 2009, when Luke and the girls went back to Michigan, Luke and Mary hit it off so well in person that they decided to throw caution into the wind, with Mary and Devin moving out to California to join Luke and the girls as family.

In November, after Mary had been at every Cheering Station during Luke's quest to walk 120 miles for Breast Cancer over a two-week span, Luke got down on one knee at the last Cheering Station and proposed to Mary. Mary said "yes" and they are getting married in April, back in their homestate of Michigan.


LATEST NEWS!

  • Luke is transferring to the USS Halsey (DDG-97) in July and will be deploying shortly thereafter.
  •  
  • Luke's sister, Shayna, recently passed away from Breast Cancer.
