Mike Todd Tucker

Mike “Todd” Tucker

On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, Todd was welcomed into his heavenly home.

Born November 18, 1966, Todd lived a full life bringing joy to the lives of all those who encountered him. Todd was the best friend and wonderful husband to Audrey for 40 years; a proud dad, the best Pa, compassionate father-in-law, and a beloved brother, son-in-law, and uncle.

His nicknames “Toddy Wad,” given by his sister in childhood, and “Tater Todd,” given by his great niece, tell of his magnetic personality. A child at heart, Todd was always down for a good time, offering a life lesson or teaching moment in the midst of the fun. He had a pattern of welcoming people around him into the family and making them feel like they truly belonged. As one dear friend said, “He was a selfless man who loved his family and friends immensely.” The only thing he loved more was our Father in heaven.

Todd was a graduate of North Surry High School, where he met his high school sweetheart. They fell in love at 15, were married for 40 and a half years, and built a beautiful life together. Their love shined brightly and their marriage was a living example of 1 Corinthians 13.

From painting cars to building houses, growing plants in his greenhouse, or crafting pottery, Todd was a jack-of-all-trades and master of many. If he didn’t know how to do something, he was determined to figure it out, and did so beautifully. There has never been a harder worker or more patient mentor than Todd Tucker.

Todd was preceded in death by his son Landon Dayton Tucker, “Granny Creed” (Betty), Norma Creed Tucker (mom), Joe Bill Tucker (dad).

Todd passes on his legacy of love, grace, and kindness to his wife Audrey Tucker; daughters and sons-in-laws Haley and Gavin Spell, and Tedi Sue and Brandon Johnson; grandsons Hudson, Parker, and baby Johnson; brother Joey (Donna) Tucker; sister Tonya (Chuck) Hiatt; second mama Barbara Amoss; aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, and cousins; and all who considered him a second dad.

If you knew Todd, you know he was all about an outdoor gathering and being around the table together. A Celebration of Life will be held at 4:00 PM on Monday, October 19, at Mayberry Meadows Weddings & Events, 324 Sidden Street, Mount Airy, NC. Join us outdoors just as you are, dress for the weather and your comfort.

After the service, everyone is welcome to join the family for a meal, fellowship, and a time to share your favorite Todd story. Some catered food will be provided—sides and desserts are welcome if you'd like to contribute!

Moody Funeral Services in Mount Airy has been entrusted with the arrangements.
