Dennis TUCKER Obituary
TUCKER, Dennis Francis
March 31, 1942 - May 31, 2010
On Memorial Day, a proud Marine went home. Born in Los Angeles, CA, Dennis spent his youth in Los Angeles and Fort Worth, TX. Upon graduation from high school, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps following in the footsteps of his older brother, Michael Tucker. After his military service, he worked for 20+ years constructing pipelines including the Alaskan Pipeline. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lenius Francis Tucker and Betty Jo Tucker, and his sister, Linda Frisk. He is survived by his brother, Michael Tucker; his son, Marcus Tucker; his grandchildren, Jennera, Amanda, and Marcus, Jr; his nephew and niece, Tim Frisk and Audra Tucker; and many, many close friends. No services will be held. Please remember Dennis for the respected, loving, caring man that he was. He will be in our hearts forever.

Hey Dennis"pops"!it's me Jen.Wow a year later and i still feel a tremendous amount of pain because of the void of you not being here.your grandson ,everytime i watch him play baseball i think of how proud you would be or another A in school how excited you would get.recently during one of his games it was a sunny day and marky ran to homebase and for no reason at all a huge gust of wind hit me.i knew that was you cheering for him.it conforts me to know your still with us and watching us.everyday that goes by i will always take your words of wisdom with me and share with the world what i learned from you.every funny story you told i will make sure to pass those on.you use to say nobody would remember those or eventually forget about you but thats not true.how could anyone forget such a strong soul.i dont know if this pain will ever go away but i know for sure you wont.everytime i watch cops on tv ,everytime i tell your jokes everytime i see the kids achieve something great and on my greatest days i will always carry you in my heart and remember your smile your laugh and even your strength.your my dad and i love you.see you on the other side!xoxoxo

Hi Dennis, It's Marlene.. Been thinking about ya today, all day today. Just want you to know that I will never forget you. Your cell phone in now no longer in service, :( It almost feels like another link to you is gone.) Remember our trip to Washington when we had to sleep out in the woods in Big Foot Country (1976)we took the trip on your 900 Kowasaki motorcycle that you loved and were so proud of, so was I, what an awesome ride it was, in spite of all the other obsitacles we were up againt. I crawled to the bottom of the sleeping bag and you cradled all around me cause I was so scared, actually more of bears than Big Foot. So many memories, One fantastic son, a daughter that Loves you with a whole heart and the most awesome grandkids any granparents could ever hope for. have to admit we are blessed. Love ya and will talk to ya later

Dad I just wanted you to have a recent picture of my kids and I. We all love and miss you. I think back to the time when Marcus and I were younger and we would pick you up from work almost every week day with mom. And every Friday you would stop at the toy store on the way home with us and let us both go pick one thing each and buy it for us. You loved us so very much and we both knew it with all our hearts.You were such a good dad to us and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. And you will always be in my heart forever and a day! I Love You :)

I think about you all the time. Each night before bed and when I wake up for the day. I talk to you and I do hope you hear me and Know how much I truly love you. I wish we had more time together but I'm very thankful I had the chance to see you and express my love for you and what a great father you were to me growing up. You were an awesome father to my brother and I. You left me with lots of great memories that I will never forget. Thanks for being my "DAD" I love you so much and will miss you with all my heart. I don't want to say good bye because I know I will see you again at a later time. So dad I will see you later and I LOVE YOU with all my heart.
Love Forever and A Day: your daughter Toni

Grandpa;What can i say your my grandpa. The best grandfather any granddaughter could ever ask for. All the memories of you are stuck on replay in my head. I had a dream about you a couple of weeks ago it was weird, i know you died but to me you not your still here and i can just pick up the phone and call an talk to you. I havent try to call your cell or anything like that in the matter but its because im scared. It still hasnt hit me that your not here anymore, the day i found out you were gone i cryed for hours and screamed and wished that it wasnt true, that the most important person in my life was gone. That you wouldnt be there to see me move on in my life, that you wont be there for me when times are hard,and to tell me that everything will be alright. My life would have never been the same without you in it. I am proud that you were and still are my granfather. I love you more than my heart will let me explain. I miss you so much.

Dennis, As I sit here tonight I am thinking of the years gone by and the memories of yesteryear. I hate the fact that I can't call you now! There are still things I want/need to talk to you about. Our son is doing just as you wanted him to do. God in his wisdom gave us the perfect son, how blessed we are. DAMN IT DENNIS,I want to pick up the phone and call you but all I hear is that your # is no longer in service. For some reason I am not able to erase you from my contacts in my phone yet !!You have been a part of my life since I was 21 years old ( that's now 34 years). Good, bad or indifferent, In the end we made it through and just as I LOVED you so many yares ago, I LOVE you TODAY. Do you remember the day we found out I wss pregnant again, this time with our son, The whole night you just kept rubbing my tummy and we talked about what his name was going to be, the only thing we could agree on then was that his middle name would be after your father. You always said that what you wanted was that for your son's world to be blue! Not everyone might understand that, BUT WHAT THAT MEANT TO YOU WAS THAT HIS WORLD WAS RIGHT, because your young world was not. Got to say that in the final years, you were one heck of an awesome dad and grandpa. I could not be prouder of you than I am right now, you Flag waving Vet/ American, Father/ Grandpa.. Love YOU Forever

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this very hard time. I met Dennis a few times and he always had a smile on his face. His smile has been passed on to his son, Marcus and grandson, Marcus Jr. You have memories within your hearts which will never be taken away. Thank you, Dennis, for your service to our country. Rest in peace. Eric and Becky McElveny, Redding, CA

Dennis, there are so many things to say i dont know where to begin.in so many ways i will never begin to thank you for everything you have done for me and my kids.From the moment i met you you captured my heart.As i had to watch you go home to jesus,i was saying goodbye to one of the best friends i ever had.I will always cherish the times we had whether it be watching cops or john wayne movies on t.v. or reading the news paper in the morning over coffee or just a simple conversation about life.I will always remember to share stories that you told me.My kids were treated just like your own as i was.You were my dad,My best friend and my hero.Thank you and I love you.

Here's to you Dennis. You now do know everything Dennis ? From your seat in heaven you can now watch over our son and grandbabies.. Your presence will always be felt deep in the hearts of all of us that have been touched by you. There was no greater GRANDPA than Dennis, without a doubt he won that award hands down. In life what he wanted more than anything was to be a father, and in time he was at (36 yrs old). That was a learning curve, took some time but ask Marcus and he will be quick to let you know just what a wonderful FATHER he was. You will be missed. Love ya, Marlene
