Harold "Bud" Lucarelli

Harold D. "Bud" Lucarelli, age 73, passed away peacefully at home in Paris, Tennessee, on August 30, 2026, with his beloved partner, Maria Villastrigo, at his side.

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Bud dedicated his career to working as a maintenance engineer. Upon retiring, he made his home in Paris, Tennessee, where he enjoyed a quieter pace of life centered around the outdoors and the people he loved most.

Bud was deeply proud of his family—especially his children, Chris (Patty), Angela (Bob), and Michael (Jenny), and his grandchildren, Tori and Jessi. Throughout their years together, he also held a special place in his heart, and loved all of Maria’s children, Dora, Norma, Irma, and Frankie, as well as her grandchildren. Bud loved nothing more than time spent surrounded by family, hitting the golf course, or out on the water fishing with his best friend, the late John Rudell.

Bud’s devotion to family knew no bounds, and he held a special warmth in his heart for all his nieces and nephews. He took great joy in watching them grow, celebrating their achievements, and sharing in the laughter that always accompanied family gatherings.

There are currently no formal services scheduled, but a celebration of life is being planned for a future date so family and friends can gather to honor Bud's memory.
