Kenneth Wayne Tucker, age 78 of Temple, Georgia passed away peacefully on March 5, 2021 at Tanner Medical Center in Carrollton, Georgia.
He was born January 16, 1943, Gadsden, Alabama to Aubrey Earl Tucker and Lydia Ruth Tucker. Most of Kenneth’s fifty two year career was spent in HVAC. He eventually retired from the University of West Georgia in 2012, where he worked in the Facilities Division.
In addition, Kenneth loved to sing and play his guitar, and prided himself as the world’s best bass fisherman. Daughter Kendra is certainly following in his fishing footsteps. Kenneth was a devout Alabama football fan, greeting all with a big “Role Tide!” He also enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Kenneth was humble and a kind-hearted person that truly cared about his family.
Kenneth was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara Joan Tucker, parents, Aubrey Earl and Lydia Ruth Tucker; brother and sister-in-law, Junior and Melba Tucker, nephews, Rodney and Mark Tucker. Kenneth is survived by his son, Kevin Tucker of Gainesville, Georgia, daughters, Kendra (Tracy) Hembree, Carrollton, Georgia; Lisa (Jimmy) Light, Oxford, Alabama, Deborah (Scott) Taylor, Oxford, Alabama, Grandchildren, Tara Harbison, Auburn, Alabama, Reece and Wesley Taylor, Oxford, Alabama; niece, Teresa (Tim) Sauls of Leesburg, Alabama along with several other niees and nephews
We would like to thank Tanner nursing staff, doctors, Tannnner Hospice, Lifeline EMS, DaVita Kidney Care and Brett’s Guiding Life Senior Care Service for the professional and respectful care you provided to our Dad.
