In memory of the best dad any girl could want, Dave Tucker...
Born on 17th September 1963 (along with his twin brother Stephen), passed away on 15th February
2004, aged just 40.
Dave was a talented graphic designer - (the turtle on Turtle Wax was his design) although a lot of
his friends knew him as a taxi driver.
Dave took me on as his daughter from the age of 4 when he met my mum, and when they split up he
continued to treat me as his daughter, even though some people said he should just forget about me.
For this I am forever grateful.
Dave showed me as much love as any biological parent would give their child, and was always there
when I needed him, ready to listen and give me a big hug when I needed one. He supported me when I
had tough decisions to make, and stood by me in whatever I wanted to do.
On 15th February 2004 Dave passed away in his brother's arms, just 13 days after being diagnosed
with cancer.
I was devastated, but looking back, it was for the best, as you weren't in pain anymore. Its such a
shame that you couldn't see your little boy, Harrison, one more time before you died, but I'm sure
you're watching over him and seeing him grow up...
Margaret was devastated too... I know you had your ups and downs (lots of them - usually your
fault..!! haha) but I know that you two would have been together forever, you were perfect together,
and I know she misses you so much. Amy and Rob miss you too...
Dave you'll be forever in my heart, there's not a day goes by where I don't think about you. I love
you more than words can say. I'll always remember the way you used to mess with my hair to wind me
up.. you knew it would make me smile. You always knew how to make me smile...
I love you Dave, and I'll miss you always
Your daughter, Kirsty

Gentle Giant
Dave was a gentle giant, a guy with the biggest of hearts and a smile to match it. He took on my niece as his own daughter from a very young age not just as a stepdad but as if she was his own flesh and blood, not many people could do that to the extent that Dave did (thanks Dave you did a great job).
To me Dave was not only a brother-in-law ( tho technically not true) but a great friend, always willing to help others always smilling. A big guy with an even bigger heart, but very quietly spoken, and I know he wouldnt mind me saying, with his size and quiet voice those that didnt know him often thought him as a bit camp, but nothing could be further from the truth. A guy with a fantastic mind and a brilliant artist. We had many good times not only when he was with my sister but afterwards he still remained a good friend and we would have many nights out.
Dave was taken from us far to soon but I am glad that the time he was here that I knew him and I was and always will be proud to call him a true friend.
I still think of you Dave and will always miss your smile, your friendship and YOU.
R.I.P until we meet again.
Paul
