Roland Lucero
Oct. 5, 1939 – Aug. 17, 2021
Roland Lorenzo Lucero, 81, of Hilo, Hawaiʻi, peacefully and naturally passed on Tuesday, Aug. 17, 2021 at Hilo Medical Center in Hilo, Hawaiʻi where he resided. Ballard Family Mortuary in Hilo is handling cremation and welcome your visit to his online memorial page.
A family online memorial service and remembrance will likely be held at a future date. Roland was born on Oct. 5 in Kahuku, Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. His late parents Juan M. Lucero and Hilda Salazar raised eleven children (six boys, five girls), Roland being the eldest. He met his wife, La Verne Luana Lucero in Hilo and together raised three children.
Roland retired as a certified journey-worker welder with Hilo Coast Processing Co. on Hawaiʻi Island. He also worked for Mauna Kea Agribusiness on Hawaiʻi and Pioneer Mill on Maui. He bowled on Oʻahu and for the ILWU, Fil-Am and Hawaiian Bowling Clubs of Hilo. He enjoyed fishing the coastlines of Hilo Bay. He learned the art of mending his own fishing nets from his wife’s grandfather, the late Harry Gordon Lincoln of Hilo. Roland was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses together with his wife in Oct. 1991, after many years of studying the Bible became a member of the Waiakea Congregation in Hilo, Hawaiʻi.
Roland came to grow and know his God, Jehovah (Ps. 83:18) serving zealously, remaining steadfast and faithful until his last breath of life. He is undoubtedly sealed in God’s memory until the day of his resurrection as promised in God’s Word (Rev. 21:3-4). Roland is survived by his wife, La Verne; his children: Verland Kalei Lucero, Hilo; Shelby-Lynn Malia Lucero, OR; Lehua Nani (Blane) Maebo, Hilo; Ron (Sharon) Lucero, AK; Loren Lucero, Selina (Timmy) Pinto, Oʻahu; Rita (Chris) Fairless, CA; Renee Otani (hanai), Hilo; his siblings: Roberta Conley, Hau’ula; John (Clarise) Lucero, UT; Gene (Anna) Lucero, Kahala, Oahu; Rudy Lucero, Wahiawa; Rosanna (Jerry) Sezar, CA; Glenn (Cheryl) Lucero, Kapolei; Lynell (Mike) Damate, Sunset Oʻahu; his numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins.
