Michael Jon Colucci
August 9, 2026
Michael Jon Colucci, 88, of Pensacola, Florida, passed away August 3, 2026. He was born in Fall River, Massachusetts on July 3, 1938 to Michael and Juliette Colucci. He was married to Adria M. Colucci for nearly 54 years. Michael served his nation in the Korean War, had a varied professional life before retiring, and having surrendered his life to His Lord Jesus Christ in 1986, he wrote the closing chapter of his life in layman’s ministry.
He served in the U. S. Army, the CIA, and retired from IBM. His service and work were all punctuated by his ministry efforts. He founded and operated Layman’s Walk Ministries focused in Cuba, served his church dutifully, and cared for his family sacrificially.
He was a member of Hillcrest Baptist Church and had a passion for Missions, supporting several missionaries and works worldwide. He loved Children’s Ministry, travel, and art, producing a large portfolio of paintings, sculptures, and literary works. Before his earthly departure, he expressed that having written his “last book,” he would commit himself to mastering music.
Michael touched countless lives and left a lasting impression, due to his being a man of tremendous character, dedication, commitment, boundless energy, exuberance, and humor. He loved bringing joy and laughter to others. These traits were all reinforced by his relationship to his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as seen through his commitment to his church and his sacrificial care for his family.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Fannie Brown Colucci; infant son, Michael Colucci; father, Michael Colucci; mother, Juliette Denault Colucci; stepfather, Walter Boulé; brother, Kenneth Colucci; and sister, Carol Colucci Largay.
He is survived by his wife, Adria De Armas Colucci; daughter, Juliann Colucci; son, Michael L. Colucci; daughter, Roxanne D. Colucci Carroll; granddaughters, Nataniah E. Colucci McCart, Trinity D. DeVries, Xarisia P. Colucci; grandson, Michael-Orazio A. Colucci; and granddaughter, Zaria-Milan S. Colucci.
A funeral service will be held Saturday, August 15, 2026 at Hillcrest Baptist Church, 800 East Nine Mile Road, Pensacola, Florida 32514 with Pastor Brian Barlow officiating. The service will begin at 2:00 p.m., and the family will receive friends starting at 1:00 p.m. The burial will be Tuesday, August 18, 2026, 11:00 a.m. at Barrancas National Cemetery.
