It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Samuel Everett Tucker, a beloved son, brother, nephew, cousin, and friend, on March 14, 2026.
Born on May 21, 1998, in Salt Lake City, Sam was a beacon of light and love in the lives of everyone he encountered. He was the cherished son of Patrick Tucker, and the late Leeann Tucker, Sherry Tucker, and the late Grandmother, Elizabeth Tucker-Kyriopoulos.
Sam loved golfing, watching and playing sports, playing video games, hiking, animals, playing games with the family, and most importantly; he had a large circle of friends that he was very close to. Sam was personable, joyful, lovable, and always happy. He lived life to the fullest and always had a positive attitude. He loved hearing stories about his late mother and having father “fun days.”
Sam is survived by his father, Patrick Tucker, amazing brother and best friend, Avery Tucker, aunts, Marianne (Kevin – Uncle “B”) Fenn, Sherry Tucker, and Angela Nielsen. Uncles, Scott (Jane) Tucker, and Christopher (Lynn) Tucker. His cousins, Lindsey (Linzo) Shaw, Alec Nielsen (Lindsay) and their child Jameson.

So so sorry to hear about Sam’s passing - though I did not know him, I knew Avery, whose kind, tender lightheartedness I have no doubt was inspired by his brother. My deepest condolences and love for you and your family Avery.

Pat, I am so sorry to hear of Sam's passing. I was honored to be able to coach him in football and to watch him develop friendships with his teammates and classmates over the years at Murray High. His big smile and quick wit brightened every room he entered! He will be missed by all that had the opportunity to get to know him. I wish you and your family peace and comfort as you celebrate and remember Sam's life.
Oh, my sweet Sam I Am. You gifted me joy. I love you always.
Sam had a heart too big for this world!!! You are deeply missed earthside bro & I hope the reunion is so sweet on your end. I'll miss the way you joked around & would light up a room. Sam had a voice & laughter so loud, but full of love. I'm so grateful for the memories we've shared together. Sam was our palagi (white) brother, he was one of us. Your Tupai Family loves you always & to Pat, Avery & the rest of the Tucker family, we are here for you. Sending you lots of prayers & comfort during this time.
Dear Pat, Avery, and family. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Sam, you have my deepest condolences. The memories of Sam's positive energy, friendship, loyalty, and compassion will always be there. Kind regards, Tor.
Pat,
Our hearts ache for you. Losing him is an unimaginable pain, and we are so sorry you're going through this. We have fond memories of watching after Sam and Emery when they were very young. We hope you can find some comfort in the love surrounding you and in the memories you and others share of Sam.
Please know we are thinking of you and holding you in our hearts.
Love, your friends Bob and Bobbie.
My heart will forever be changed knowing I won’t see our Sam again. I love him forever and he always made me so happy. He will be missed. My heart is with his family and friends.
Sam Tucker! An incredible young man and uplifting spirit. I wish I got to spend more time to just thank you for our conversations. Your point of view on certain matters really helped me. Your optimism and willingness to still enjoy life through the hard days really was something that was very special about you. I hope I can take on that trait and carry on the path of being a good person and friend like you were to me. Long live Sam Tucker 🕊️
Sam, thank you for bringing laughter and joy every time I was in your presence. You are a light! Thank you for being such a fun friend to Mitch as well! May peace be with you and the heavens be what you need. May you also comfort your loved ones in every moment of their need. 🤍🕊️
Sam was always someone who could make any moment lighter. He was goofy, fun, and just great to be around. I’ll always remember the way he made people laugh so effortlessly. He’ll be deeply missed. I'm grateful to say I had the pleasure of knowing him.
Sam was an incredibly rare person. He had a love for life and people that I’ve never seen anywhere else. He was recklessly fun, quick with a joke, and completely unforgettable. He was also extremely loyal. If you were his, he didn’t have a bad thing to say about you. The world is a lesser place without him, but I know he’s left behind more stories and memories with more people than anyone could count.
