Michael DeWayne Tucker, age 30 of Fayetteville, WV formerly of OKC passed away on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2016 at Appalachian Regional Hospital in Beckley WV. Michael was born June 17, 1986 in Oklahoma City, OK. He was the younger of two children born to Atawnia Griffith and Odos Tucker. Michael grew up in SW OKC and attended High School at U.S. Grant where he met Marcella Burke. Together they had two beautiful children. Later Michael and Marcella separated but Michael remained very involved his kids’ lives. Michael loved his children very much and often said they were his best decision. Michael played soccer all throughout his childhood and into adulthood with his family and friends. Some of his favorite pastimes was being with his kids and cooking. He also enjoyed teaching his nephew trick moves with the soccer ball (but really only to impress the ladies). Michael had a kind soul and would give you the shirt off of his back. All who came in contact with him was infected by his laughter. He was just a boy at heart and definitely taken way before his time. He will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends.
