Lucas Jay Sweet

QUEENSBURY – June 20th, 2023, two year old, Lucas Jay Sweet passed away in his daddy’s arms due to hydrocephalus. He was surrounded by his family who loved and cherished every precious moment they were granted. There wasn’t a single person who he couldn’t put a smile on their face.

Lucas was born in Glens Falls, on August 29th, 2020, at 8:21 pm. He was born into this world with a purpose. He was and will continue to be our light. He loved Olaf from frozen, music and dancing around the living room in the arms of his mama to Mambo No. 5. When daddy would come home he would light up with smiles. He sure loved to babble and giggle. He enjoyed spending his days with his parents, siblings, family and friends. In this family no one fights alone. Blood doesn’t make us family. Love does and Lucas was sure loved and still will be.
