Anthony "Wolf" Quinn Tucker's Obituary
Anthony Quinn Tucker was born on August 16, 1971 (Parents: Glenn Wade & Barbara Tucker Wade)
God Fearing and known to put his faith into actions by helping others whenever he could. He held a strong value system of loyalty and loved his family and his hand-picked friends. Anthony was as deep and mysterious as the ocean, and it would be incredibly dangerous to underestimate him. You might think you knew him through and through, but you would only see the side of him he would allow you to see. His life was harder than anyone knows, but he overcame everything that was meant to destroy him. Being the first born and only son, Anthony always took on the protective role of his baby sisters.
He was educated in both the Dallas and Richardson Independent School Districts. Not much longer after High School, he met and married Belinda Jackson and, after dating for only 10 months, he decided that she was that one he could not live without. They were wed on June 30,1995 at the Faithful Missionary Church in Dallas, TX under Pastor N.C. Sargent. This union enjoined him to three children: Jonathan, Taffeta and Christian of whom he raised as his very own. He was employed at the Solo Cup Company; formerly known as the Sweetheart Cup Company before accepting a position in quality control for Dart Manufacturing Inc, of Dallas. Due to his exceptional leadership qualities, skills and abilities, Anthony quickly moved up the ranks from Quality Control to Supervisor of Quality Control. Following several additional promotions, including Inventory Control Supervisor, his final title held before his early retirement was Production Supervisor. Anthony was known to overcome any obstacles placed in his path and, if it was placed in his care, he would perfect it. He was proficient in every single thing he did; including his hobbies.
Known to many as the "Wolf," Anthony was nearly impossible to beat in billiards. He was so proficient that he would be forced to "bank out" because shooting the ball straight in would be too easy for him. He was also a master on his backyard grill and smoker. Nobody could cook ribs like his and his burgers became a household name known as "Anthony's Backyard Burgers" - which were the absolute best. He enjoyed outdoor grilling, cooking out, playing cards, dominoes, nice cars and his beloved motorcycle.
Anthony was a strong provider and took extremely good care of those he loved. He loved with everything he had inside of him. He had a fiercely independent spirit and the heart of an angel. With a strong love of his family, Anthony spent a lot of his free time with his grandmother Eula D. Tucker. He loved looking after and taking care of her. He decided to do what he loved doing, but he called it work. After retirement, Anthony went into the home healthcare industry and was employed to do what he loved doing; which was taking care of his grandmother. He believed you were successful if you were getting paid for doing something you love doing. He cared for his grandmother and stayed by her side until she passed away on Valentine's Day of 2019. Anthony was also extremely active in his community and volunteered a lot of his free time in community service. He loved to travel and cruise to various places. Anthony was kind, generous, talented and extremely intelligent. He was the type of man that, if you were lucky enough to meet him, you would not want to lose him, or you would spend the rest of your life regretting letting him go.
