Steven ("Tucker") E. Tucker, age 82 of Lincoln, Nebraska passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Thursday, November 2nd, 2023.

Steve was born February 25, 1941, in Fontanelle Iowa to Earl and Shirley (Hanon) Tucker. Steve's passions in life were his family, football (The Nebraska Cornhuskers and The Chicago Bears), caring for his beloved animals, gardening, fishing, hunting, watching golf and old westerns, and being a "Peepaw" to his grandchildren.

He retired from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as an Ag Tech where he worked for many years caring for many types of animals. His gardening skills were unmatched, and he took great pride and precision in growing the perfect vegetables. His best friend/son, John Jabs, was by his side during many of his shenanigans and life adventures during the last 40 years. Steve was known for his quick wit, one-liners, and his very strong opinion on things which made him even more endearing to those who loved him. Steve never met a "stranger" and to really know him was to love him.

Left to mourn his passing and cherish his memories are his wife of 38 years; Sharron Tucker (Rehm); thirteen children/step-children and their spouses; Teresa (Lee) Ryans, Brent (Dori) Tucker, Kellie Tucker, Doug (Mary) Tucker, Jay Milligan, Michelle (Toby) Ackerman, Marchelle Versaw, Shonda Farber, John (Melissa) Jabs, Shawn (Dana) Tucker, Shane Tucker, Shannon Tucker, Seth (Kelly) Tucker; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends who genuinely loved Steve.

Steve is preceded in death by his daughter, Lori; son, Steven W.; parents, Earl and Shirley; brother, Dallas; and sisters, Sherry, Betty, Bonnie, and Roseanne.

Services are pending and will be announced at a later date.
