Our beloved, Jonathan Michael Tucker, of Kansas City, MO was born March 12, 1978, entered into rest on January 12, 2021. Jonathan spent his early childhood in Overland, Park, KS then moved to Buffalo, NY where he grew up through his teenage years. He enjoyed bowling, playing in the snow and video games. He loved the thrill of roller coasters and was a coaster enthusiast! Then moved to Tulsa, OK for a few years before returning to Overland Park, KS. In 1998.
Jonathan leaves behind his very loving mother Sue, two brothers Nathan and Lyle, and sister Cristina. Jonathan also adopted two super friendly, rambunctious dogs Jake and Maggie who loved their dog dad very much, along with his feisty cat Mia.
Jonathan had such a loving heart with a contagious laugh and smile. He also had a huge love for his family! He was so thoughtful, kind and caring in so many ways and was always ready to help anyone that needed help.
From early on, Jon had a strong love for music and 1980’s movies including Grateful Dead, Airplane and Caddyshack. He often quoted movies, always trying to laugh and have a good time. Also, sports were important to him especially KC Chiefs, Royals and KU basketball. Rock Chalk!
Jonathan has been in the restaurant industry for over 30 years, most recently working at the Bristol where he was employed for the past fifteen plus years and where he met a lot of good friends.
He will always be remembered as a wonderful son, a terrific brother and a great friend – you will be so be missed!
Love you forever Jon!
