Lucas Scott Cravens, 23, of Cedar Hill died Jan. 9, 2018. Mr. Cravens was a tree trimmer and enjoyed the thrill of being in the biggest tree he could find. He loved the outdoors -- fishing, hunting, camping, spelunking, kayaking, canoeing and anything to do with a river. He won a master angler award at the age of 6, and was an avid hunter and excellent marksman. He was a people lover and a friend to almost everyone he met. Born Feb. 7, 1994, in St. Louis, he was the son of Rick E. and Cindie J. (Schroeder) Cravens of Cedar Hill.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his grandparents: Ruben (Georgia) Cravens of Washington, Mo., Sharon K. Cravens of House Springs and Marianne Schroeder of Cedar Hill; two brothers: Tom Barnett of Cedar Hill and Ben Barnett of Pevely; his fiancée: Autumn McNail; and many aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and a nephew.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather: Wilfred (Bill) Schroeder.
A funeral service was held Jan. 13 at St. Martin’s United Church of Christ in Dittmer.
