I'm not sure what to say in such a time as this. I do know that the Brunson's love the entire Tucker family. Our friendship and love go back 60 years. Dee has always been that bright and beautiful soul that brought such joy to those he came in contact with. With a smile on our faces, we will forever remember Dee and the kindness and love he shared. Rest in peace Dee. We love you. The Brunson's

Uncle Dee the dancing machine, this is definitely is heartbreaking to be writing. You truly we're one of a kind. You lived 55 beautiful years, proving every limitation wrong and showing us what strength, joy, and resilience truly looks like. You we're full of life, and personality, your spirit pure and your joy was contagious. Uncle Dee you was not just my uncle but a blessing to our family and everyone who knew you.This loss is especially heavy but I find comfort knowing that your life was full, meaningful, and filled with love. I loooooooove you so much, until we meet again.💙💛🕊
