John R. Tucker

John R. Tucker, age 62, passed away peacefully at Castleview Hospital in Price on October 13, 2025.

He was born February 17, 1963 in Price, Utah to Earnal and Margie Franklin Tucker. All who knew John loved him. He had a truly special place in his heart for children, animals and Elmo.

He loved giving chokehold hugs, stealing your pop, and playing practical jokes. He brought great joy and light to those he loved, and he will be deeply and sorely missed by all who knew him.

John is survived by his mother, Margie Franklin Tucker of Price; brother, Ernie (Nancy) Tucker, Price; nephews, Zeph (BreAna) Tucker, Colin (Christy) Tucker, both of Price, Eric (Mariya) Tucker of Wellington, Dustin (Stella) Tucker, Price, and Jake Tucker, Price.

He is preceded in death by his father, Earnal Tucker; sister, Babbett (Robert McKinnon) Tucker; brother, Ernest Earl Tucker; great-nephew, Colin Earnal (CJ) Tucker; and a great-niece, Holly Martineau Tucker.

The family would like to thank NES for all the loving care they have given over the years. Also, a special thanks to Pattie Sanderson, Cindy Borba, Pat & Misty Tucker for always being there for John and his family; and our sincerest appreciation to Dr. Valdez and Janet Henrie for providing peace and comfort in John's final days.

Celebration of Life, Friday, October 17, 2025, 5:00-7:00 p.m., at Mitchell Funeral Home in Price. A graveside service will be held at a later date in the Cleveland Town Cemetery.
