Tucker Wade Johnson was born July 26, 2004 in Lawton, OK to Brian and Misty Johnson. Tucker was a first grader at Mt. View-Gotebo Elementary. He loved anything to do with farming, whether it was hauling hay or riding the tractor and combine with his daddy. He couldn’t wait to buy his own grain cart. Even though he acted older than he was, Tucker still loved his three stuffed animals: Woof Woof, Baa Baa, and Bolt. Tucker showed sheep and liked to play with the baby lambs. He enjoyed playing video games with his two older brothers and playing t-ball during the summer. He was fascinated with the TV show “Cake Boss” and wanted to take the family vacation to where the show was filmed. Tucker was a wonderful son, brother, grandson, and nephew and will be missed dearly!
He is survived by his parents, Brian and Misty Johnson of the home; 2 brothers: Trevor and Trenton Julian of the home; Paternal grandmother and great grandparents: Sue Johnson and Weldon and Peggy Johnson all of Gotebo; Maternal grandparents and great grandmother: Ronnie and Anita Huitt and Lois Anderson all of Sterling; Aunts and Uncles: Monty and Ronita Bridges, Skip and Courtney Lile both of Sterling, and Kristin Johnson of Yukon; cousins: Katie, Karli, Brady, and Blakely Bridges and Riley and Bella Lile; special aunt and uncle, Jim and Karen Mason; and numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
