Sean Andrew Tuckey, 49, of Lincoln, formerly of Canton, passed away August 2, 2025.

Sean was born March 17, 1976, in Canton, IL., the son of Kenneth and Roseanne (Henseler) Tuckey. He graduated from Canton High School and then from Western Illinois University. He was employed at Caterpillar. He was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church. Sean was an avid Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, and Grateful Dead fan. He enjoyed fishing and golf, especially caddying. He fell in love with the game of golf and tried his best to make a career out of it. He was inside the ropes caddying for the John Deere Classic and caddied for his Lincoln family for many years. Sean was kind, funny, and always smiling. He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved him.
Survivors include his maternal grandfather AJ Henseler Jr., his parents Kenneth and Roseanne Tuckey, his beloved daughter Soriana "Sori" Springer, sister Gina Tuckey, nephews Holdyn Tuckey, Cooper Tuckey, and Sawyer Tuckey, several aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, and his Lincoln family Bruce and Jan Carmitchel and Doug and Amy Dean and their children and grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, his maternal grandmother, and his brother Christopher Tuckey.
