Gregory "Greg" Tucker

Gregory Tucker, age 74, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, in Des Moines, Iowa surrounded by family. He was born the son of Jerry and Selma Tucker on October 3, 1949, in Kirksville, Missouri.

Greg’s work ethic was unparalleled, and he excelled at his career in investment banking. He was a leader and mentor to many, in and out of the field. Greg was known to go with the flow, bringing unlimited amounts of humor and joy to any situation. He was the biggest prankster and always had a cockroach in his pocket.

Greg was a proud father, always eager to hear about his children’s interests and accomplishments. He was a loving grandfather who always came bearing gifts. Greg was a selfless man with a big heart and a smile that lit up the room. He was willing to help others at the drop of a hat and always made sure everyone had a good time in his presence. Above all, he loved his family and ice cream. You could spot him in a crowded room with his sunglasses, Hawaiian shirt, and a cigar in hand.

Those left to cherish his memory include his loving children George Tucker and Gregory (Danielle) Tucker, grandchildren Jackson, Charli, and Frankie, siblings Rod (Teri) Tucker, nieces and nephews Jenna, Zak, and Christy, and former wife of 35 years and mother of his children Stacey Ganakes Tucker.

Visitation will be held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, March 30, 2024, with funeral service following at 2:00 p.m., at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines.
