My dearest Tucker,
My heart is broken and I miss you so much. I know if you were here, you would hug me and tell me it's going to be okay. The ache in my heart takes my breath away. There aren't enough tears for me to cry.
I thank you for the friends you have. Everyone has been so kind and supportive. I am not in need of anything.
The kids, grandkids, and great grandkids miss you as much. They are here, talking memories, looking at pictures, and crying too.
You were the greatest, kindest, compassionate person that has graced this earth.
I am not alone mourning you. There are hundreds joining me. You touched so many lives and friends are remembering your kindness and help.
I pray there is no shortness of breath, imbalance on your feet, or chest discomfort in heaven. Your mom, dad, Nannie, Dickie, Howard, Paul, Mel, and Baldy were all there to greet you. I am sure there is lots of visiting and auctions happening right now.
I love you so much,
Rhea

Words can not explain the pain we have felt in the last 36 hrs. Tucker has been my father and best friend since I was 16. You were a life partner to my mom, a father to my sister and I, and the best grandfather our kids and kids kids could ever ask for. You were the nicest, most kind hearted, and the best man I have ever known!! You will forever be missed Tucker! We love you!!

Prayer warriors, and friends. Please prayer for Gods presence and touch on all of us effected at the loss of Thomas Edwards, aka "Tucker"
Words don't describe the sadness and empty hole left knowing Tucker has left us. He was 1 of the few key important people in our lives, and agricultural community and was a huge blessing and helper to so many in his life; God used him well for his family, Rhea, his love of many years their children and grandchildren, John J Ayers and his parents, siblings and just has been used to help so many and has been such an agricultural key element for our local farmers for so many years. I pray God helps comfort and guide each and everyone as they process his loss and let the glory of God and not the devils minions take hold of anyone's hearts and actions over the next couple years. He will truly be missed, my heart aches at losing him as a mentor, guide, and friend. But my heart aches even more for Junior and Rhea, and those who have loved him and called him family for so many years. His passing will and does effect so many people. This fact is a testament to his character. Prayers please while the hurt and pain of his passing sweeps over our whole community as has the passing of those key hierarchy Agricultural people this past couple yrs. Our farming community is losing those who were the glue to our community. It is very scary.
We will miss him so much and this is truly a sad day.. he has left his mark on this world and the hearts of so many. His memory and daily presence will be missed greatly and never forgotten. May he rest in peace
<2 Timothy Chapter 4:6-8 >For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Philippians 4:20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Oh sweet Tucker. How my heart dropped when my dad muttered the words of your passing. You were genuinely one of a kind. There wasn’t a year I showed that you didn’t buy my pig. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without you. Forever grateful for your friendship with my dad and the lessons you’ve taught me. You’ll be forever missed and loved. 🧡

Rest in Peace Tucker. I was really fond of you. We just moved Vic's cows on Saturday together. What a terrible shock. May your family find peace with all this. God Speed.

I was so saddened to see the passing of Tucker. Although I have not seen him in several years, I have great memories of growing up in Fleetville and seeing his kindness to my parents whenever he stopped by their store, the stories he would tell, and watching over me like a little sister when we were in Benton Twp school. May he rest in peace. Sending condolences to his families.

So saddened by this tremendous loss. Tucker was truly “one of the good guys”. My heart breaks for all that loved him, and especially Rhea. Rhea, the amount of love I have witnessed between you and Tucker over the few short years I’ve known you was immeasurable. May God bless Tucker thru his next journey and may Tucker watch over you and the rest of your family as your forever guardian angel.
