He was born on Feb. 17, 1954, in Healdsburg, Calif., to Eugene and Olga Luciani. 

He lived in Sonoma County for most of his life, working as a plumber and then as a surprisingly talented cosmetologist until relocating in Lake County in 2006.

He was a dedicated father with a profound sense of spirituality and a wacky sense of humor.

Rocky, as he was called, was predeceased by his father, Eugene; and his sister, Pamela.

He is survived by his mother, Olga; his sister, Linda; and his brother, Rodney. But his heart will always belong to his two beautiful daughters, Hillary Dewitte and Talya Luciani. He will be with them always.
