Lucas was born June 2, 2006, in Boise, Idaho, to loving parents, Daniel and Michelle (Price) Hammer, but lived most of his life in Rigby, Idaho, where he was well-known and well-loved by many in the community. Lucas was a best friend to his older brother, Deagan, and a loving big brother to younger brother and sister, Bronson and Zevi. He was a happy, loving, giving boy who enjoyed so many things in life.
