Edward Tucker Walther

Tucker was the beloved son of Carol and William Walther. He was preceded in death by his brother, James Randolph (“Jim”) Walther.

He is survived by his loving siblings: William Kyle Walther and his spouse, Tiffany Walther; and Erin Walther Slagle and her spouse, Eric Slagle. He was a proud and devoted uncle to J. Randolph, Donovan James, and Boden Addison Walther; Lelah Belle and Mia James Walther; and Lincoln Sean and Mackenzie Carol Slagle.

Tucker is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Tucker had an immense heart, a clever wit, and was the kind of son, brother, uncle, and friend that we all strive to be and dream to have. He gave so much of himself to others that the reach of his selflessness, and the magnitude of the lives he touched, are impossible to measure. We are all forever grateful to have loved and been loved by him, and miss him so.

Family and friends are invited to gather and honor Tucker at a Celebration of Life Luncheon on Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Blendon Park Condominium Association, 5401 North Hamilton Rd, Columbus, Ohio 43230.

To honor Tucker’s love for soccer and the impact he had on so many, a memorial scholarship in his name has been established with the United Soccer Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial support to coaching education and other development opportunities for underserved socioeconomic communities.
