ABOUT TUCKER
May 16, 2003 - June 2, 2018
Tragically lost in an UTV accident
Tucker loved hunting and fishing and a passion for sports, playing high school football, wrestling and baseball. His goals in life were to get married, have kids and play for the NFL. Tucker was a very kind, gentle young man that enjoyed spending time with friends, attending fire pit parties, or kayak fishing with his Uncle Tom.
​
SPECIAL SIGNS: During the 2018 baseball state championship finals, a bald eagle flew over the flags during the national anthem. Tucker had a bald eagle collection. Those that attended the memorial service, know Tucker's favorite song was Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash). The stadium booth person played Ring of Fire after the fourth inning rally when the Athens Baseball Team scored six runs and eventually won becoming 2x back-to-back state champs. Broken Halos (Chris Stapleton) was played between an inning. It was this song on the radio when Tucker's mom drove the boys to the farm that morning where they were working for the day. The songs played are planned ahead of time. No one requested they be played that day. We have paid attention to the signs. Tucker is at peace and watching over his friends and family.
