Memories and Condolences
for Joshua Johns
May 6, 2009
Anne,Tim, Gail, Levi, Tia,I could go on and on and name the people who miss Tuck. Tucker and Levi were the ultimate kids next door. Taylor's life has been made so much richer because of that fact.I was the Mom who house the neighbor kids always knew to come to if their parents were late getting home, I loved them being here. Their freindship gave Taylor a normal child hood when life was not normal for us.Just for that alone I will always be grateful to the whole family. Tuck you are so loved and missed. Thank you for being a part of our lives. Susan, Scott and Taylor Nelson

The first time I met Tucker was freshman year at Sunnyslope. He was influential in introducing me to many people that I am still friends with today. Tucker was a great guy and he would always make people feel welcome no matter the circumstances. The last time I saw him, he came into Albertsons where I worked at the time and we talked for a good 15 minutes. It had been almost a year since our graduation and it was just as easy to talk to him as it was when we were in high school. I will always remember tucker as the good friend that he was to me in high school and afterwards. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and everyone else who knew him as well as I did.

I don't really know what to say, I didn't know your parents but i could only image that their grief would be almost unbearable, because for me i still cannot believe your gone. you are truly missed by your family,friends and even your battles here at the Old Guard. I don't know what words of comfort that i can give to you family and friends but i can assure them that you are truly missed here.
i love you bro R.I.P.

tucker was a couple years ahead of me and a part of a group that always seemed to be having fun. they were energetic and beautiful; as a freshman, it was easy to be intimidated by tucker. that is, until you got to know him. charismatic and charming, tucker could always make me laugh. its impossible to do him justice because his presence was overwhelming. my heart goes out to his family, and they are in my prayers. hopefully tucker knows he is loved and will be dearly missed

Anne and family
I am deeply saddened with your loss of Tucker. Both Pierce and Nicholas knew Tucker from elementary to high school. I believe my son Nick was in some of Tucker's classes throughout Simis and Meadows.
I will miss Tucker's seemingly confident smile and warm personality while he work at AJs on Camelback.
Our deepest sympathies....

My Sweet Anne and Manny,
I remember the days you would bring Tucker and Levi to work at Channel 3 (a day off from school, early pick up, proud Grandpa showing off the boys ) they just lit up our world. They were fun and rambunctious and made us all smile. I can't begin to imagine the loss you feel..but know all these years and miles later you are in my thoughts and my prayers. Please be kind to yourselves through this time (which is really a lifetime)..hold on tight and love each other. My deepest sympathy goes out to you all.

To Tucker's family and friends,
I was truly saddened to learn of Tucker's passing. I hired Tucker to work as a Courtesy Clerk at AJ's Fine Foods (Central/Camelback) in 2004. Everyone at AJ's loved him, he always had a smile and a wonderful disposition. He will certainly be missed! God speed.

Tucker was one of my best friends throughout preschool, elementary school, and middle school. Even though he knew he would be one of the only boys at my birthday parties, he always came and he HAD to give me the birthday cards he spent so much time on, first. I still have some hand-made cards and the necklace he made me in first grade. It's hanging on the mirror in my car and I think of him everyday, his contagiuos smile will always make me happy. Though we grew apart in high school, I thought of Tucker often and still do. I'll never forget the plays Tucker "directed" in his driveway and I'll always remember our exciting adventures that made our childhood so much fun.
My deepest condolences to Anne and Levi.
Anne- I'll never forget all the fun times and playdates I had at your house with Tucker. Thanks for giving me such a great friend!

I met Tucker while I was shopping at AJ's with my daughter, Nicole, who already knew him from Sunnyslope. He was one of those people you meet, and never forget. His charm, sense of humor, and good looks really set him apart. He always went out of his way to say hello to us, and I look back on his kindness with fond memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.

Tucker was in many of my classes at Madison Meadows, and I must say he made an impact on me and he will be missed. He was always challenging, yet respectful, and a delight to be around. As a matter of fact, the Meadows' class of 2003 voted him the "Most fun to be around."
My condolances.
