Obituary - Raymond L. Tucker
.webp)
While other little boys said they wanted to grow up to be cowboys, Raymond meant it. He and his brother Tom started buying, selling, and trading horses at an early age. Although he raised cattle in the past and did order buying for many years for large cattle feeding operations, his passion was horses. Whether the market was good or bad, that is where he wanted to be. He never met a gray or roan horse that he did not want to own.
Raymond married Diann Cook in Fort Scott on June 28, 1970. Together they had four sons, Scott, Steven, Brad, and Blake. He loved them dearly and was so proud of them. He is survived by his wife Diann, son Scott of Cleveland, Missouri, Steven and Jessica of Spring Hill, Kansas, Brad and Meredith of Fort Scott, Kansas, and Blake and Cass of Fort Scott, Kansas. Most precious to him were his grandchildren, Kelsie, Brett, Mallory, Ava, Gus, Newton, and Walker. They brought him great joy. He is also survived by his brothers Tom and wife Brenda of Humansville, Missouri, Terry and wife Janet of Fort Scott, Kansas. He is survived by many nieces and nephews, as well as many special cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents Dave and Joanne Tucker.
Raymond’s lifelong hero was Roy Rogers. Roy Rogers always fought for what was right and protected those around him. He was one of the good guys. At the end of the Saturday morning TV episodes, Roy always told the little buckaroos to mind your Mom and Dad, eat all your vegetables, and say your prayers. Raymond was very compassionate and always prayed for children in need, people who were sick, and those in war torn countries.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday, April 10, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. at the Cheney Witt Funeral Chapel, with burial directly following at Evergreen Cemetery in Fort Scott, Kansas. Visitation will be held from 5:00-7:00pm Tuesday, April 9, 2024, at Cheney Witt Funeral Chapel. Memorial contributions in honor of Raymond are requested to be made to our local Wreaths Across America. Donations may be mailed to PO Box 937 Fort Scott, KS 66701. Words of remembrance may be submitted online at chenewitt.com.
