Thomas W. Tucker

Celebration of Life:

Thomas W. Tucker, 77, passed away Jan. 31, 2023, after a long battle with cancer and muscular
dystrophy.
Tom worked for 30 years for the Colorado Division of Labor and Employment as an appeals referee.
A beloved husband, father and friend, Tom led a life dedicated to the service of others.
He put Christ at his life’s center and, prior to his illness, had been active in many churches; including
Wesley United Methodist, Calvary Baptist, Westminster Presbyterian and First Baptist.
Tom was a longstanding and respected leader in the Pueblo Charter Lions Club. He served numerous
terms as the club’s president as well as a term as the District Governor of District 6 SE clubs in Southeastern
Colorado.
For his service to the Lions Club, Tom was awarded the Colorado Lions Foundation Humanitarian Award
and the Melvin B. Jones award from Lions Clubs International for dedicated humanitarian services.
However, his richest rewards came from his work with friends and family. He served as a mentor to
many in the Lions Club and the churches he attended.
He is remembered with fondness by many for his sense of humor, and the grace and love he showed
everyone, from friends of his children to strangers in a restaurant.
Above all, he was a dedicated family man, teaching and shaping the lives of his children, stepchildren
and grandchildren.
Tom is preceded in death by his parents Delbert Q. Tucker, Laura E. (Dolph) Tucker, brother Raymond D.
Tucker and wife Carol R. (Cox) Tucker.
He is survived by his wife Shirley (Childress) Tucker, sons Sean (RaeAnna) Tucker and Jeff (Maria) Tucker;
