Brian David Venable-Tucker

Brian David Venable-Tucker, a devoted father, husband, brother, son, grandson and friend, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, September 2, 2021. He was 44. Brian was born to John and Caroll Tucker on September 21, 1976 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
After graduating from Eagle Heights High School Brian continued his education at Pensacola Christian College, Northland Baptist Bible College and graduated from Park University. Brian was incredibly gifted and was always the “go to guy” when anyone needed a hand or had a question about life. He enjoyed projects such as woodworking, shopping for antiques and refurbishing old furniture. A special memory of his was taking part in the “Tentmakers” when he took a trip to China to help mentor the teachers and professors on teaching English and American History. As a young man Brian found and married the love of his life Stephanie on March 28, 2009. They spend the next 12 years creating a life together. Brian loved his family fiercely, was an incredible father to his two children, doted on his wife every single day and made sure that they knew how much they were loved. Brian gave the best hugs and just had a way of making things easier for everyone around him. Every year Brian looked forward to Christmas. He would light up the house with décor, loved the sounds of the carols and had quite the collection of nutcrackers. He was an incredibly talented singer and truly had the best hair. Brian’s witty, funny and kind personality will be missed beyond measure by many friends and family.
Brian is survived by his beloved wife, Stephanie; children, Samantha Venable-Kauffman and Silas Venable-Tucker; parents, John and Caroll Tucker; brother, Matthew Tucker (Charity); sister, Amy Reynolds (Gary); nieces and nephews, Ryan, Lucas, Natalie, Ike, Izzy, Andrew, Oscar, Edee, Kaden, Ethan, Maddie, Emma, Blake, Licie and husband Alec; grandmother; Auda Martin.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Donald and Flossie Tucker, and Karoll Martin.
