John Edward Tucker

John had the biggest heart, and once he got to know you, you were a friend for life and there was nothing he would not do to help you, no matter what his own problems. He loved his pit bull, Tia, loved children, loved motorcycles, loved to dance, and could strike a conversation with anyone at anytime. The world was a better place with him in it. John, we will all miss you terribly.

John is survived by his grandfather, John Tucker of Richmond; his father, Edward Tucker of Hampton; his mother, Theresa Tucker; and his brother Scott Tucker of Newport News.

A visitation for family and friends will be held at Parklawn-Wood Funeral Home in Hampton on Wednesday, May 30, 2012 from 6 to 8 PM.
