DeLuca of Charleston, SC, formerly of Saddle Brooke, NJ, husband of Carol DeLuca and father to Nikki DeLuca-Gartner and Anthony DeLuca, peacefully passed away on Thursday, January 24, 2019, in Roper St. Francis Hospital. The relatives and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Scott DeLuca are invited to attend his Memorial Service at 12:00 noon, Wednesday, January 30, 2019, at the James A. McAlister Chapel, 1620 Savannah Hwy.

Scott DeLuca is survived by his wife, Carol; daughter, Nikki DeLuca-Gartner and her husband, Nick Gartner; son, Anthony DeLuca; brother, Fred DeLuca, and sister, Debora Rogers. His parents, Tony and Beverly DeLuca, pre-deceased him.

During his time, Scott became Director of Security for a multi-billion dollar company, overseeing international affairs. He also built from the ground up, a successful business in New Jersey, which is still operating due to his hard work and dedication. He instantly became a father figure for those individuals who sought out love and guidance.

His favorite pastime was hanging out with his family, ensuring that everyone around him was happy and taken care of. He loved boating, walking around Folly Beach, and discovering new places in downtown Charleston. When he and his wife moved to Charleston in 2018, he worked on Kiawah Island as Security Manager for Kiawah Island Golf Resort, his dream retirement job. He was also very thankful for his extended family, The Gartner Family and The Dafnos Family, for making his daughter and son beyond happy.

In lieu of flowers and memorial gifts, The DeLuca Family encourages donations be made to the American Heart Association and/or the Charleston Animal Society.
