Steven Brent Tucker went home to our Lord and Savior on April 6, 2015. He was born October 13, 1961 in Lawrence.
Like his father, Brent loved driving. He owned his own rig, transporting vehicles all across the country. He was reserved, but had a fun loving sense of humor.
One time on a trip with his family, his mother and sister admired life sized wooden sculptures. Even though the pieces were large and expensive, he returned to the store and bought them as a surprise.
In the last few years, he devoted his time and energy to care giving for his mother.
He also enjoyed riding his Harley with his friends and playing video games with his little buddy Charlie.
He is preceded in death by his father, Lewis Tucker.
He is survived by his mother, Esther Tucker; sister, Cindy Eubank (Gary); ex-wife and good friend, Rene Tucker and her son Charlie; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and good friends.
Memorial donations may be made to the American Heart Association and the Lawrence Humane Society, sent in care of Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home & Crematory, P.O. Box 1260, Lawrence, KS 66044.
As Brent requested there will be no public services. A private family burial will be at a later date.
Condolences may be sent at rumsey-yost.com.
Dear Esther & Cindy,
We are very sad to hear about the unexpected passing of Brent.
Sending you strength to get you through this difficult time.
Rest in Peace Cousin
Dear Cindy and Esther,
So sorry to read of Brent’s passing. It brought back memories of being neighbors on 7th Street. I remember him as a kind-hearted kid. My thought and prayers are with you.
Brent always made everyone smile. That “long haired hippie” will be missed. Just saw him a couple of weeks ago getting his Mom’s car serrviced. Sorry for your loss.
Esther And Cindy: Richard and I are keeping you in our prayers. We are so sorry for your loss. We will pray for you both. I didn’t know your brother, but I’m sure he was a wonderful man. Always remember the good times. Love Mary Ann & Richard
My deepest and most sincere condolences to the family, payers for peace at this difficult time. RIP bro!
Ester & Cindy our hearts goes out to you at this time. Brent always had a “Hello Cuz” for me when we met, which always made me feel so special. Brent was a in my Father’s thoughts while he was driving his car hauler. This is a great loss for our family.
My heart hurts for the family – Brent was a good man and yes he did have a heart of gold. Brenty Boy I will miss you. Thanks for always being my friend. I love you and will miss you terribly – Heaven is lucky to have you!
It’s with heavy hearts that we send our thoughts and prayers. Brent was a good man with a heart of gold. We have many fond memories of him through the years. Like spending time at the farm in Overbrook when I would come home to visit. When he taught me to shoot a gun and Rene got mad at us for shooting up her wash tub:) How he hauled Adrian and his car out to the west coast for a job Adrian was going on so Adrian didn’t have to drive. The kitten that he and Rene brought back with them once. We took it, and had him for 16 years. Brent was quiet but he had many interests. And he loved his family. May they find comfort and may he rest in peace.
Ester and Cindy, I am so sorry for your loss. Brent will be missed by a lot of people. He has always been more than an X- son in law to me.
Ester,Cindy and family my thoughts and prayers
are with all of you.
I am so sorry that you, your mother, Rene, and Charlie have lost Brent. I know he had great love for all of you.
My thoughts are with you Ester and Cindy.Cindy my thought are with you so much.What a lot to deal with.You both know Brent was my friend.I just talked to him last week.So sorry for your loss.
