Mr. Larry Randall Tucker Jr.

May 25, 1981 - May 6, 2018

Larry Randall Tucker, Jr. was brought into this world on May 25, 1981 in Huntsville, AL to Larry Randall Tucker, Sr. and Sharon Kay (Garrison) Braun. He was taken from this world on May 6, 2018 in Willow Springs, MO. Larry was raised by his mom in Willow Springs where he attended school from kindergarten until he graduated in 2001. After graduation, he married his high school sweetheart, Kimberly Michelle Scrimshire (also of WSHS class of 2001), at Zanoni Mill on June 12, 2004. Together, they made a life here in Willow Springs and brought three perfect children into this world, Dakota Jayce, Kaiden Randall, and Kye Bailey. Larry was a loving husband, always attentive to her needs. He was a fun, silly, amazing father and the type of friend who would give the shirt off his back. He was active in basketball throughout middle school and high school, because it was one of his greatest passions. He also loved hanging out with his friends while watching the St. Louis Cardinals play baseball. He never met a stranger. Anyone who met him loved his positive attitude, sense of humor, outgoing personality and would say he always had a smile on his face. By his own account, he “put the Lar in hi-lar-ious!” Larry is preceded in death by his father Larry Tucker, Sr., his paternal and maternal grandparents, his great grandmother, Gladys Sand, who he was very close to and loved very much, and his close friend, David Bailey. He is survived by his wife, Kimberly, his three children, Dakota, Kaiden and Kye, all of Willow Springs; his mother, Sharon Braun and her husband, Gregory of Cabool; his brother, Chuck Green and his wife, Heather of Kansas City, MO; his sister, Pamela Honeyfield and her husband, Sam of Willow Springs; and numerous nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Larry’s honor to help defray funeral expenses. They may be left at the funeral home. A family night/visitation will be held Monday, May 14, 2018 from 6 pm – 8 pm at Westside Family Life Center. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at 11 am at Westside Family Life Center, with Pastor Scott Foster officiating. Arrangements are under the direction of Willow Funeral Home.
