Luke Tiahrt Remembered Wichita Associated Press
July 28-- Hundreds of mourners turned out today for the funeral of the teen-age son of Kansas Congressman Todd Tiahrt.
Luke Tiahrt died Saturday, an apparent suicide victim, at the family's home in suburban Washington, D-C. The 16-year-old was the youngest of the Tiahrts' three children.
He was remembered at the public service as very outgoing -- but also somewhat shy and sensitive. He was a musician and artist. His sketches were on display, along with family photos and his school letter.
Luke would have been a junior this fall at Woodson High School in Fairfax, Virginia.
Among the many dignitaries on hand were House Speaker Dennis Hastert, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and House majority whip Roy Blunt, as well as other members of congress and community leaders. www.kake.com
