The death has occurred of Ivan Tucker
St Columba's Close, Carrick, Donegal / Corbally, Limerick
We are deeply saddened to share the peaceful passing of Ivan Tucker, surrounded by his loving family. Our hearts go out to his wife Rachel Ward Tucker, their daughters Edith and Clare, and to his parents Gerry and Louise, as well as his brothers David, Niall and their wives Fiona and Aneela. Ivan will be missed by his nieces Ina, Seren, Sophie, Bethan, Róisín, Claragh and his nephew Eoin, along with his extended family, friends and neighbours. Our sympathies also extend to Rachel’s mother Libby, (wife and mother to the late Donal and Edith Ward) and her brother Michael and his wife Ornagh. We also wish to acknowledge the great support of Rachel’s cousin Deirdre Hardiman, who has been a tremendous help to the family.
May Ivan’s gentle soul rest in peace. He was immensely proud of their daughters, Edith and Clare and their achievements brought him great joy. Ivan, in turn, gave great joy to all who knew him. May his family find strength and comfort in each other and those around them during this difficult time. His absence will be deeply felt by all.
