Luigi DiChiara

Luigi DiChiara, a devoted, humble, and generous soul, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2026, leaving behind a legacy rooted in hard work, kindness, and deep family devotion. He was born on November 29, 1946, in the beautiful town of Melito Irpino, in the Province of Avellino, Italy, where he spent his early years surrounded by the traditions and values that shaped his life. In 1971, Luigi immigrated to Revere, Massachusetts, where he planted firm roots and spent the remainder of his life building a home, a family, and a reputation defined by integrity and warmth.

Luigi was a proud and hardworking laborer with Local 22 and also operated a small landscaping business built entirely through word of mouth. People genuinely loved working with him—not only for the quality of his work, but for the conversations that came with it. Luigi was deeply social and enjoyed chatting with his clients, sharing stories, laughter, and forming lasting connections.

A true lover of the outdoors, Luigi found peace tending to his garden and his cherished chicken coop, caring for his plants and animals with patience and pride. Those same qualities defined him as a husband, father, brother, and friend. Family was always his greatest priority. Luigi was the quiet peacemaker—never one for anger, always striving to keep harmony within the family, offering calm guidance, understanding, and a steady presence. His gentle nature and infectious smile made him beloved by all who knew him.

Luigi is survived by his beloved wife, Carmela DiChiara; his devoted children, Maria Koozmin and her husband Michael of California, Anthony DiChiara and his loving partner, Jennifer of Revere, and Pina DiChiara and her husband Marcelo Spencer of Revere. He was the cherished brother of Rosina D’Ambrosio and the late Pasquale DiChiara. He was predeceased by his parents, Prisco DiChiara and Maria Grazia Sorrentino. Luigi is also survived by loving nieces and nephews.

Luigi’s generosity, humility, and love will live on in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him. His memory will continue to inspire all who were touched by his gentle spirit and unwavering devotion to family.
