Michael David Tucker

Michael David Tucker, born in Spokane, Washington on January 10, 1956, passed away peacefully on April 30, 2024 at the age of 68.  Mike, as his friends called him, was a resident of Terrytown for most of his life. He was an avid lover of motorcycles and cars, and he had an unbelievable talent for refurbishing them. He worked most of his life as an electrician, but he also worked at his parent’s lighting agency business, Lighting Sales & Design, Inc.  However, the occupation he found most fulfilling was working in the body shop at WestBank Collision Center, which he always said was not even like work because he enjoyed it so much.  He owned many cars and motorcycles throughout his lifetime and had a passion for restoring them all.   Mike was a true artist and craftsman. He loved creating things like copper wire trees (which he made for almost everyone) and sculptures out of acrylic, and he was skilled at drawing.  He loved music and enjoyed teaching himself how to play the guitar and drums.
