David John Lucchetti

David John Lucchetti, 64, of Kalamazoo, passed away on August 22, 2022.
Dave was born in Pontiac, MI, on May 21, 1958, to Robert and Janice (Tibor) Lucchetti. For 27 years, Dave worked as a kitchen manager at LaRue s Family Restaurant where he gave his all. He loyally rooted for the Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers and was a huge Trop Rock fan. We know Dave was most relaxed when at the beach or near water. We will remember Dave most for his quick wit that betrayed the depth of his intelligence and for his love of family. Despite the bumps along the road, Dave was on a path to strengthening the bonds with those he held first in his heart his children and grandchildren.
Dave is survived by his mother, Janice; two sons, Nicholas (Mallory) Lucchetti and Anthony Lucchetti; brother, John Lucchetti and two sisters, Mary Catherine (Steve) Giroux and Anne (John) Geary; two grandchildren, Maggie Lucchetti and Milo Lucchetti; several nieces and nephews; his dear friend, Yvonne Branch; and his former wife and mother of Nicholas and Anthony, Diane Lucchetti.
He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Joseph Lucchetti.
