Michael Lynn Tuck was born in Martinsville, VA to the late Bobby Ray and Beverly Hood Tuck and passed away at the age of 55 on May 3, 2021 after battling COVID-19. He graduated from Western Guilford High School in 1983 and joined the US Army in November of that year. In 1987, he left the military and worked briefly for FedEx before he joined the team at Chuck E. Cheese and quickly moved through the ranks. Before becoming ill, Mike was the Director for Technical Operations. While traveling in Union, NJ for work, he met Tammy Lucas who he married in 2013 and he couldn’t have been happier that two more children joined his life. He was a people person and forged lifelong friendships and relationships at his job. His family and what he could do for them was Mike’s primary focus in life. He demonstrated love and caring through generosity and service to his family and others. His home, like his heart was big and always open. It was not unusual for Mike and Tammy to invite others to their home for a vacation, visit or extended stay. He could be counted upon for anything and wanted others to feel needed, loved and wanted and appreciated when others made him feel the same way. Most people will remember Mike with a quality cigar and bourbon relaxing outdoors at his home around the fire pit and dartboard and serving as master of the grill. He was an enthusiastic fan for the Chargers and Wolfpack.
Mike leaves behind his wife Tammy of Greensboro, children; Meghan Baker and husband Banks, Gareth Tuck, Abby Lucas and Elisabeth Lucas; granddaughters, Scarlett and Magnolia Baker; siblings, Bobby Tuck, David Tuck and wife Amy, Keith Tuck and wife Marylou, Sheila Tuck and Bettie Abernathy and husband Eric; parents-in-law, John and Linda Lucas; and brother-in-law, John Lucas Jr., and wife Lizzy.
