In 1874, Lussier married Marie-Louise, the daughter of seigneur Gaspard-Aimé Massue. He organized a campaign to assist the family of Louis Riel. Lussier was defeated when he ran for reelection to the Quebec assembly in 1897. He died at the age of 67 and was buried in the crypt of Sainte-Anne's church in Varennes.
