Chandler Tuck Obituary

July 19, 1979 - December 22, 2023 "He was one of my favorite people ever!" is what everyone who knew Chandler Tuck says when hearing of his passing-and for the first time in history they aren't just being kind. Chandler, the world's favorite person, died on December 22, 2023 in Los Angeles. Everyone who had the luck of being in his orbit describes him as hilarious, brilliant, creative, kind, and loving. Chandler was a dog-lover, doting uncle, and a gifted writer. He inspired and encouraged others in their creative endeavors, yet, unfortunately, died with hundreds of his own stories, poems, and raps untold--a tragic loss for fans of dark humor everywhere. Chandler likely had crippling FOMO over missing his celebration of life at the Magic Castle, but was undoubtedly there in spirit making dark quips, witty remarks, and referencing obscure movie quotes over our shoulders. He was also probably very late.?Nobody could sum up a weekend with friends into a hysterical and poignant limerick like Chandler. He would lift one's spirits after a breakup by composing a poem about the ex, crystallizing their flaws in a hilarious and insightful take-down. He commemorated his loved one's birthday's by creating punny animal memes in the style of ironic humor he so acutely nailed. Chandler was a clown. No really! He could juggle while riding a unicycle. He won Halloween every single year--once even convincing a gaggle of hopeful models that he was Terry Richardson and photographing them with a broken camera. If you're wondering whether it was before or after Terry Richardson was cancelled--it was after--even funnier!
Chandler graduated from Clear Lake High School (TX), and attended St. Edward's University in Austin. He eventually made Los Angeles his forever home alongside his best friend and sister, Corbett Tuck, and his cousin, Hillary Hedges Croll. The trio spent their twenties climbing 120 stairs to their house--it was worth it for the panoptic view of LA! They also had amazing quads.?Chandler worked in music management with an impressive roster of musicians before switching to the more creative field of editing, content producing, and animation. His quick, wry sense of humor earned him the coveted role of tweeting as the characters for a wildly popular comedy TV show-a side-hustle only he was born to do. Chandler is survived by his mother, Pamela Brinkman Tuck and her partner Barry Tillman(La Porte, TX);his father, Joseph Grady Tuck III and his wife Robin(Bastrop, TX); his step-father, David Ritter(Virginia);his older sister Corbett Tuck, her husband Leigh Whannell, and their children Sabine, Jones, and Wren(Los Angeles); and his younger sister Hailey Tuck (Bastrop, TX). He is also survived by his many aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends who are devastated by this unfathomable loss. He is preceded in death by his brother Joseph Grady Tuck IV and his beloved dog, Bella.

I just finished watching 'Wolf Man' and now I am here. By the obituary it sounds as if he is greatly missed. I wish some of his stories, poems, and raps could have been shared right here. I've always thought the words "I'm so sorry for your loss" were somewhat trite when spoken by most, although in the form of an apology it can be quite sincere when it comes from one who considers that the world takes people away from us, and we're all part of that world, such as myself. However, realizing who he was to the ones who he touched intimately truly invokes sorrow in me for the pain of loss suffered by those lit by the light of his life. I only hope the joyful memories and the likely unpreventable smile that comes with them together are the elixir that keeps the pain at bay.
