Bio: At work and at home, Lucas was a talented storyteller with a gift for humor. Lucas could captivate a room with tales from his patrol car, adventures with friends, or just spinning the awkward encounters life has a way of putting in our path.
As a trooper, Lucas often spoke of seeing people on the worst days of their lives and looking for ways he could help or somehow lighten the mood. He will be remembered by colleagues, family, and friends for his ability to do just that – brighten the lives of those around him.
Trooper Dowell graduated from Chilhowie High School and earned his bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Radford University. Lucas graduated with the 122nd Basic Session for the Virginia State Police on November 21, 2014. In 2016, he became a member of the Division III Tactical Team. He was also recently certified as a general instructor. |
