Louis F. Napoli Jr. 66, of Tampa, Florida, passed away November 1, 2024 after a long battle with heart disease. Louis was a lifelong resident of Tampa with the exception of living in Germany after his service in the United States Army. While living abroad he started his company, Mad Max Entertainment and became D.J. Mad Max. As a civilian he worked for the Department of Defense providing D.J. services throughout U. S. military bases across Europe. Louis returned home in 1983 and worked primarily in the pest control and music industry while continuing to run Mad Max Entertainment. Louis could bring any music genre to life and keep the dance floor full. He provided music for thousands of weddings, bar & bat mitzvahs, corporate events, Krewe of Sant' Yago events, concert openings, parade floats, homecomings/proms/high school reunions, and D.J.'ayed at various clubs throughout the Tampa Bay area such as, Robiconti's, Crawdaddy's, CC's, London Victory Club and Paradise Lakes.

After several heart attacks Louis finally had to slow down and retire from his beloved business. He then took up a new hobby of motorcycle riding and joined the Goodfellows motorcycle club and became known as Cobra. This grew into a passion of designing motorcycles for the Biker Build Off, which he won several times. He worked with the Indian Motorcycle company to design a one of a kind trike for himself and took much pride in showing it at many shows where he also placed as winner and was known as Big Lou the Indian Dude.

Big Lou then took his passion of cooking to a new level by creating a social media cooking show and was featured on a live episode of Full Throttle Magazine.

Louis was predeceased by his Nano & Nana Napoli, Abuelo & Abuela Torres, his mother, Evelyn, his father, Louis Sr, and several aunts and uncles.
