Mario Matteucci passed peacefully surrounded by his loved ones holding his hands. He was 99. Born and raised in Italy, he served in WWII, and later came to visit his sister in Stockton and stayed as a lifelong resident.
He loved music, singing, and had many talents. He could grow anything. He was loving, caring, generous, strong, and strong willed. He did things his way and family was his life. He cared for his mother and siblings, created his own family with his loving wife, Lena, and viewed others as his own family too.
Mario was loved very much and will be greatly missed. He is survived by his wife, Lena; son Gary and daughter-in-law Gina; and daughters Lori and Renee.
