TImothy Rucker Obituary
Timothy "Tim" Mark Rucker passed away on September 15, 2025. There are no services scheduled at this time.
Tim was born on September 8, 1957, in Kansas City to the late Bates and Mary Rucker. Tim was a stubborn, strong-willed man, and was quick to respond with a sarcastic comment. Tim had a big heart and a kind soul. He would do anything he could to help other people when he was able. He loved his friends and family fiercely, and though he enjoyed his solitude, he also enjoyed the company and conversation of those who were closest to him. He was a simple man who didn't need much in life, and he found happiness in the small moments.
Tim is survived by his daughter Paigen Rucker, and grandchildren, Anna, Xander and Amelyn.
There are no words to express how much he meant to those who loved him. We hope he is enjoying the reunion and his long-awaited bass boat in heaven. He will be missed forever.
