Luciano is survived by his wife, Carrie Luciano and their children.

Luciano started his law enforcement career in 1996 with the Bunnell Police Department. He later joined the Department of Corrections in Volusia County before joining FCSO in 2019, where he served as a detention deputy sheriff at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility.

At this time there is no information available on funeral arrangements. Staly said he will update the community about a service as information becomes available.
