Daniel Luoma Obituary
FITCHBURG - Daniel A. Luoma, aged 80, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, born on November 23, 1944 in Gardner, MA, passed away on August 3, 2025.
Daniel, a man of dedication and humor, led a life filled with purpose, laughter, and love. He was a loyal and beloved figure in the community, having grown up in Fitchburg and graduating from Fitchburg High School with the Class of 1962. As Captain of his high school ice hockey team, he exhibited leadership and sportsmanship that carried through his life.
