James Waide Tuck, age 54, of Columbus, Ohio passed away Monday, January 30, 2023 at his home. James was born on August 2, 1968 in Columbus, Ohio, the son of Shelly (Yvetta) Tuck of
Columbus, Ohio and the late MaryAnn Arnold also of Columbus, Ohio.
He was preceded in death by his mother, MaryAnn Arnold, brothers Brad Arnold and Shelly Tuck, and sister Tammy Arnold.
James has a surviving daughter, Jamea Tuck, two surviving brothers, Ronnie Tuck and Lojuan Tuck, and two surviving sisters, Sandy Arnold and Cheryl Burks, one surviving grandmother Edsel Turk and many surviving aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. James worked as an equipment operator for the City of Columbus since 2008. He was a mill operator at Technaglass from 1998 to 2002 and also at Buckeye Steel Castings Company from 1986 to 1998. He was a dedicated employee who always arrived 30 minutes early and rarely turned away opportunities to work overtime.
James was a loving, dedicated, and proud father. He had several lifetime friends who affectionately referred to him as "Tuck." He was known for his stubborn nature never sugar coating anything, the protection of those closest to him, and his love for fishing and cooking. He had a heart of gold and would stop what he was doing to help anyone in need. He was a devout Chicago Bears fan and shared his love of football with anyone who would listen. James will be missed by many.
