Lukuz Rilea Gelb's Obituary
Lukuz Rilea was born on July 29, 2008, in Tarpon Springs, FL to Leann Rodriguez. When he was 2 months old, he was shaken so severely the Dr’s were sure he wouldn’t survive but he did. The Dr’s said he wouldn’t make it through the night, then the day, then a week. Every time they said he wouldn’t make it, he blew right past and beat all the odds that were against him.
Lucky was preceded in death by his gammy, popop, his great-grandparents Anna, Jaime, Borghild, & Sjur and his cousins Daniel & Tristan. He leaves behind his mom Leann, his dad Dustan & Bonus dad Brad, his little sisters Leticia & Molly, his big brothers Dante & Angelus. Also, his great-grandmother Tata.
Lucky will be tremendously missed as he lit up every room he entered. He was loved by so many, however we rejoice knowing he was welcomed in heaven by the family that left before him.
Lukuz is no longer suffering in pain, he is doing everything his earthly chains would not allow. He is finally free running & laughing in beautiful sunflower fields under the moon & stars and talking everyone’s ears off.
Please join us in celebrating the life of our precious angel Lucky AKA PEANUT.
