KevTuc,
Unbelievable sudden loss, so young. I remember your big smile and the three of you, to include Doug and Wes stopping by to check on the General Dynamics customer's training team couple of times a week with your craziness. You must have known everyone! My thoughts and prayers to your closest friends and family.

Kevin,
It is still hard to believe you are gone. It seems like yesterday we walking the halls of 267th Quartermaster Company. You cracking jokes and keeping everybody laughing. Then you go and snag the prettiest girl in the room, my dear friend, SGT O better known as Pat Tucker. Thank you for being a great friend and a wonderful spouse to Pat. We are truly going to miss you. I know you are looking down on us all. Thanks for being you. Thanks for being such a great friend to everyone you encountered. I am keeping a special place for you in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. Pat and family my prayers go out to you all.

The many friends and family whose lives you've had an impact on have summed up beautifully any words I can say on this guest book. As Michael Jackson would say, you're "Gone Too Soon." Thank you so much for gracing us with your positive presence, professionalism, sense of humor, and your impeccable wardrobe :)
Take care my friend. GP

Tuk,
I only knew you briefly, talking trash in the gym, sharing rivalry comments between Auburn and Alabama games, but we always met in the middle on Steelers ground. In my time of need you offered words of wisdom and for that I will forever be grateful. You will be missed my friend.
Chris Campbell
January 30, 2011
Tuck, I'm so grateful that we finally got together for our happy hour that Thursday after talking about it for what seemed like two years! It was so great to catch up with you outside of work. Thank you for the beer. The gym at work will never be the same without you. I'll miss your shout outs, your smile, and your laughter. It was an honor to know you these past eleven years. Thank you for always making me smile! May God bless your family.

Tuk - My friend, Steeler's Bro, and Colleague. It's with great sadness that God has taken you from us so early in life. The memories of Hangin' out at the Penn State games, talking smack while proudly sporting our Nr 89 Steelers jersey's at work, and the laughs we've had, have been a great joy! Miss ya bro...R.I.P. & put in good word for your Steelers at the SuperBowl.

Kevin was a great person who was hilarious. I met him for the first time in January 2008. I sat at his table at our post CACI Christmas party at Sweet Water in Centreville, Va. . I was glad I met him and got to talk to him. He was a very nice, interesting and entertaining person. My deepest condolences to the Tucker Family and his friends, for such a tremendous lost. It’s so sad for someone with such a great spirit for life to die at such a young age. May your sweet memories wrap your hearts and soul until your paths cross again.

REST IN PEACE, KEVIN! We will never understand the why, the how someone so young and full of life is taken from us. We are just left to feel the deep sadness and loss...the loss of a son, a husband, a father, a friend. I didn't have the opportunity to formally meet Kevin, and for that I'm deeply regretful. I knew him through his wonderful wife, Pat, my coworker and friend. I would like to take the time to extend my heartfelt condolences to Kevin's family. I pray that you all find the courage and strength to get through this difficult time and that eventually abundant peace will reign in your hearts. Pat, I miss you tons! I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you and Tamia. Take care of yourself and please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do.

Tuck,my friend. When I think of you, I think of your smile and your sense of style. Whether your shirt was teal, orange, or blue, you wore it well and always looked professional. I'll always be grateful that our relationship was less government/contractor and more peer-to-peer. You were all about meeting the needs of the customer and working with others to get the job done. You were also all about the Steelers. I'll miss our friendly arguments about who was the best AFC team. I swear it took you 2 weeks to move all your Steelers stuff when you changed offices. I'll miss your smile and friendly shout outs from the gym as I headed into the office in the morning. A light has gone out on earth, but there's a new star in the heavens. Peace brother!
To the Tucker family: Thank you for sharing this special man with the rest of us. He will truly be missed.

Tucker (PYT), I was looking for symbolic words, professionally written, to leave on this page, when I realized I just needed to speak from my heart. FT Drum could have been the worst duty station of my career, but it was friends like you, who became family, that helped to pull me thru. We all clung to each other because we knew up there surrounded by snow, we only had us. Thank you for touching the lives of me and mine. I will always remember you with a smile.

I am in still shock, and disbelief. Hearing of Tuck's sudden death has shaken me. Tuck was such a joy to be around. All the time.
To Tuck: Thank you. Thank you for the advice, the laughs, the workouts. For everything. I am thankful that the last time I saw you, you were laughing, smiling, joking, full of life, and very happy. I can take comfort in that. Things will never be the same without you. You are already missed.
Pat, Tamia--I can not imagine what you are going through right now. I pray that the peace and love of God will comfort you at this difficult time, and always. You are both in my prayers.

I will certainly miss you my friend. There aren't enough words to describe how great you were as a person. Your personality and charm were a rare yet wonderful trait that you possessed. Your natural smile was infectious. I will certainly miss our talks about life, the Steelers, college football, the occassional run-ins at Clydes, etc. but most of all, I will miss the great person you were and the fun you were to be around. You truly touched the hearts and lives of a lot of people. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time. You will truly be missed my friend.
Andrew Bahl

Tuck it is so hard to believe that you are gone. You will always be in our heart and on our mind. We all cherished the time we had with you and all the laughter you shared with us. I know that you are in heaven with wings big enough to wrap us all in, the same way you wrapped us all in that big heart of yours.
To the Tucker Family, No words will ever describe how important Kevin was to us all and how much we cherished and loved him. My entire family's condolences go out to each and everyone of you. Our prayers are with you.

From the NRO Fitness Staff
It's hard to believe that we won't see Tuck's smiling face first thing in the morning and again with the afternoon freeweight group. I even used to dog him about spending too much time in the gym and would tell him to go home. He was a great friend and could always be counted on for a smile, a hug and planning the next happy hour. He is already missed dearly by his NRO family and we wish his family the strength to get through this difficult time.

Kev,
I honestly can't believe you're gone. You were taken away before any of us were ready for it, including yourself. I hope you're up there looking down and seeing just how many lives you have touched. We are all mourning for you and will continue to do so for a long time to come. You will never be forgotten. We all love you so much. Rest in Peace.
Tawnie Smith

I still cannot believe this is real. I really enjoyed getting to know Tuck over the last few months, and regret that his life ended so quickly. I will miss our talks, all the advice he gave, and all the joking around. Tuck-Thank you. It's amazing how many lives you've touched. Things will never be the same without you.
To Pat and Tamia--I can't even begin to understand how difficult this must be for you. I pray that the peace of God's love will comfort you now and forever. My prayers are with you.

Pat, I'm sorry for your and your daughter's loss. I didn't know Tuck very well, but he was always smiling when I saw him at work. We knew of each other from working together when I worked in the same dept as him in Chantilly.
I've been lifting you, your daughter, family and friends up in prayer. I've been reading the guestbook and it's so awesome to see how many lives Tuck touched.
May God wrap His arms around you and your daughter at this time.

I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Kevin. I am at a loss for words, and I cannot really say much except for how I appreciated Kevin for his generosity and sense of humor. Kevin has always been a good friend, always ready to listen and lend a hand, and never failed to give a word of encouragement. We will all surely miss him. May the lord give your family courage and strength and keep you going through this tough time.
January 25, 2011
To the Family: I have known Kevin practically all of his life; he was like my own son. I am so sadden to learn of his passing. God gave him to us for only a few fleeting years, but he made such an impact on all the lives he touched. I am truly going to miss him, but I know that oneday we will meet again around the throne of God. May God bless Pat, his children, his mother and father (who are my dear friends)and all those who loved him. Just think we have another guardian angel watching over us!!!

I am still in shock at the news of Tuck's passing....I took for granted that such a great person, great friend would be here forever. I will miss the talks we had about life, you were so wise beyond your years it seemed. Which I enjoyed having such good conversations with him. He certainly had his outlook on things and was oh too happy to share it with you. But he was funny and made everyone smile. He always dressed so nicely so much so I would tease him from time to time. But he was a hard worker, good at what he did and he knew what he was talking about. And I tried to be the same way and was happy to have had the chance to know him professionally as well as having a friendship....I am just so sad that he is gone. I just cant seem to process it in my mind. But it goes to show it must be true what they say. God truely takes the good ones as he is building up his Army in heaven and I am glad to know that you were chosen. I hope to see you again one day and I pray that God will give your wife Pat the strength she needs to deal with you sudden passing. And that God will wrap his arms around your children and your family and friends as well as we all grieve such a wonderful life that has been cut way too short. I will miss you Tuck....
