It is with profound sadness that we share the sudden passing of Maurizio Luise on the morning of November 8, 2025. A beloved husband, devoted father, and cherished friend, Maurizio leaves behind an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew him.
A Maryland native, Maurizio built a career in the hospitality industry, serving as Manager at Positano Ristorante Italiano and formerly as a server at La Ferme Restaurant. He was known for his warmth, professionalism, and the genuine care he showed to colleagues and patrons alike. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Maurizio was the heart and soul of his family.
Maurizio’s love for his family was boundless. He and his beloved wife, Maria (Oliverio), shared a life full of laughter, joy, and dedication to their four children: Scarlett (11), Jude (7), Bibiana (4), and Gianluca (1). Whether cheering on the Capitals and Redskins, sharing meals, or tossing a ball in the yard, Maurizio delighted in the everyday moments that brought his family together. Those who knew him remember his infectious laughter, his vibrant energy, and his unwavering devotion to those he loved.
His sudden passing has left a profound emotional and practical impact on the family. Maurizio was the steadfast provider and anchor of his household, and his absence is felt deeply on every level. Maria now faces the monumental challenge of raising their young children without her partner, a task made even more difficult by the sudden loss of financial support.
In honor of Maurizio and to support the Luise family during this tragic time, a fund has been established to help cover funeral expenses and urgent needs. Every contribution, no matter the size, represents a gesture of love, solidarity, and compassion for a family navigating unimaginable grief.
Maurizio’s life was defined by love, laughter, and generosity. His legacy will live on through the lives he touched — especially the four beautiful children who were the center of his world. The Luise family appreciates all thoughts, prayers, and support during this heartbreaking time.
May Maurizio Luise rest in peace, and may his family find comfort and strength in the love and memories he leaves behind.
