Michael Anthony Luciano, 56, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away surrounded by his loved ones on Thursday, August 20, 2020, after a long and valiant battle with liver disease. He was born on March 12, 1964 in Pueblo, Colorado to Pauline Virginia Chavez and Paul Arthur Maxwell. Michael moved to Louisville, Kentucky while young, which is where he lived most of his life.
Michael received numerous certifications from Jefferson Community College, allowing him to devote much of his career to the information technology sector. He was able to enhance his skills throughout his nearly 30 year career going from a computer technician to a network administrator. Michael used this knowledge to instruct several courses in A+ and NET+ certifications.
Michael enjoyed spending time on the lake, cheering for the Louisville Cardinals or Pittsburgh Steelers, and fixing anything he could get his hands on. He was always willing to lend a hand, tool, or his expert advice to anyone who needed it. He loved spending time with his friends, neighbors, and family. One of Michael's proudest accomplishments was being a father to his three daughters. He supported, loved, and imparted his wealth of knowledge to them throughout his entire life.
