George Robert Tucker Jr. (Bobby)

George Robert Tucker Jr. (Bobby), 68, passed away on April 20, 2021 after a 21 month long,
hard battle with pancreatic cancer.
Bobby was born in Rock Springs, Wyoming on August 15, 1952 to George Robert Sr. and
Shirley Tucker, he was the middle of three children.
Bobby grew up in Fallon, Nevada and attended college at the University of Utah where he
obtained his pharmacy degree. He worked in that profession in Nevada for the next 30
years. Bobby married Deena Eborn in 1973 and together they had 6 daughters. A few years
after their divorce he met his true love, Lynda Tucker. They were married in December, 2018
and in the process he inherited 8 additional Tucker step-children.
Those who know Bobby would tell you he has a quick wit and an unparalleled ability to turn
any situation into an inappropriate joke. This is a fact that can be attested to by his band of
scuba brothers, who rallied around Bobby and loved him unconditionally. The only thing he
loved more than his dog was a sweet treat at 3 in the morning. Many people had the
misfortune of going on hikes around Rattle Snake with him and found themselves outpaced
and lapped twice over. Bobby spent several years on the High Counsel for the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as well as being first counselor in the Bishopric. However,
by far, his favorite calling was the privilege of serving in the young men’s program. They
spent a lot of time in service to their community and his good nature made for light work.
True to his nature, Bobby fought his terminal diagnosis with unrelenting strength and
positivity that was the very essence of who he was as a person.
Bobby was preceded in death by his parents Bob and Shirley Tucker. He is survived by his
wife Lynda Tucker; his six daughters Melissa (Gib) Mackedon, Katie (Nathan) Dahl, Jennifer
Tucker, Nicole Tucker, Lynlee (Steve) Synder, and Rachel (Zack) Cord; his step-children
Jenna (Joey) Mennel, Robert Tucker, Stephanie Thomson, Severin Tucker, Matthew Tucker,
Aubrey Tucker Westwood, Shelby Tucker and Jaren Tucker; his sisters Janet (Willis) Hyde
and Shelley (Dave) Foster; many grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
