Family of Demarcus Tucker

Early in the morning on July 20th, 2016, our son Demarcus Tucker, 34, lost his life to a random act of violence. This heartbreaking news was brought to the family a mere four days following the funeral and burial services for his younger brother, Daquarius, 19. Daquarius was the victim of another random act of violence on the 4th of July.

No family should have to bear the burden of losing a loved one much too soon - yet the Tucker family's grief has only been multiplied.

Both brothers were young, bright, inspiring young gentlemen who loved and cherished their family deeply.

Demarcus leaves behind two children: his son, Taaron, 15, and his daughter, Lyric, 13. Demarcus was also one of many brothers and sisters, with many neices and nephews as well. We are asking that as a community, we might come together to support his children as well as the rest of the Tucker family in this period of suffering. Many will understand the burden of funeral services and the financial stress upon families during these times, only to have this strain multiplied in a span of weeks. Further,  the children will be continuing school in the fall without the much needed support of their father.

Funds raised from this page will support funeral costs for the family as well as education and living costs for Demarcus's children. 

The Tucker family hopes that the lives of their sons will not be forgotten, but rather, will inspire their community to come together, boldly embracing life rather than allowing each other to be stunted by a fear of death.
