I just got confirmation that another of our own has passed away. Jeff Tucker (jeffs9146) has passed away a week ago today of a stroke. He was 55.
Many of you may recall Jeff hosting one of the transmission clinics at his home in Discovery Bay.

Sorry to hear about this.
I will remember him tonight in my prayers and for his family too.
To young indeed.

Sorry to hear about Jeff. Blessings to his family. It sure is scary being an advanced member here.

I found this in one of his threads. I had never checked out this link before. Sad to hear he's gone.

Posted by: Dion Jun 4 2017, 10:13 PM

Wow. So young.
Condolences to his family.

I heard about this today at the swap at parts heaven.

Super nice guy.

My thoughts go out to him.

Posted by: Tom_T Jun 4 2017, 10:30 PM

Dang! I hate to her of someone going so young!

He was always a nice guy on here in our exchanges, but I never "had the pleasure".

Condolences to his family.

Has there been a memorial services thing yet?

Posted by: Mike Bellis Jun 4 2017, 11:23 PM

I'm very saddened to hear this. Jeff was a great guy.

Posted by: mb911 Jun 5 2017, 05:50 AM

That is very sad. We had worked together on several projects.

Whoa... What a shock.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Jun 5 2017, 06:58 AM

OMG! Jeff was a terrific guy. I was at his house when he hosted a BBQ/work party to get the 6 running in his car. Great guy and he knew these little cars inside and out. Condolences to his family.

Anyone have links or photos of the clinic they can post?

Posted by: ConeDodger Jun 5 2017, 07:16 AM

Not from the clinic but these are recent. He had recently moved his girlfriend in and they were quite a pair...

So much Porsche 914 knowledge is going away with each and every passing of the good guys, not to mention the friendships.

Godspeed Jeff!

Posted by: SirAndy Jun 5 2017, 10:25 AM

Jeff Tucker in the front left, Jeff Stroud in the back on the right, meself in the back on the left watching Mr. Bellis doing his magick.

55 is way too young. As a Jeff, a 914-6 owner and 65 years old, I say we all get out, drive our shared passion, remember him and be thankful.

Posted by: Maltese Falcon Jun 5 2017, 11:26 AM

Totally shocking news, condolences to the Tucker Family
Rest in Peace Jeff

Posted by: Perry Kiehl Jun 5 2017, 11:37 AM

Only met Jeff once; the WCR group was parked at Laguna Seca waiting to do that Photo Op; Jeff locked his keys in the car. He removed a windshield wiper blade, pushes it under the targa top, hooks the latch, and presto he's in.
RIP

Posted by: arkitect Jun 13 2017, 11:14 PM

A shock to see this, my condolences to the family.

He knew a great deal on these teeners and always willing to help.

Posted by: Marty Yeoman Jun 14 2017, 09:26 AM

Mike Bellis mentioned Jeff's passing to me at the PartsHeaven swap-meet. Now that I've seen his pictures I can put a face to his name. Wow, I'm sorry and saddened. Goes to show you never know what's around the next corner. Rest easy Jeff.

Posted by: boxstr Jun 14 2017, 11:15 PM

Sorry to see him gone.
RIP

Posted by: Perry Kiehl Jun 15 2017, 08:35 AM

If anyone one here knew Jeff well, maybe they can pass the link to this thread on to his loved ones, so they'll know the 914 community is mourning his passing and has Jeff's loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.

Posted by: second wind Jun 15 2017, 10:47 AM

This story upsets me....my heart goes out to Jeff's family and friends.....I never knew him or have ever heard of him, but those party pictures and water skiing pictures and porsche group pictures make him someone I would have been good friends with. The guy was living life like we all should....to the max!! Celebrating every minute.....and one of us 914 nuts to boot. I am 61....almost didn't go to WCR because of BS problems....made it and even more glad I did now. I didn't write just to write.....this loss is a big sign to me.....use it or lose it. All the best to our community and once again to Jeff's family and friends......I am sad but Jeff was obviously a very happy fellow.....good for him for being such an awesome dude!!

Posted by: ConeDodger Jun 15 2017, 11:03 AM

Not sure exactly where Jeff's family is at. If you recall, he and his family own Magic Mountain and some restaurants in the LA area.

Posted by: SirAndy Jun 15 2017, 11:20 AM

I remember a while back he said they were thinking about selling, not sure if that ever happened.

Man, i still can't believe he's gone. Just 3 years older than me ...

Posted by: Mueller Jun 15 2017, 12:09 PM

Yea, the age thing hits close, as does the stroke issue, I am glad to have survived my stroke...I am reminded of it daily but luckily still here!

Posted by: Marty Yeoman Jun 15 2017, 04:10 PM

I totally agree with Mr. Mueller! Surviving a life threatening medical event will add reverence to your life for sure. Stay lucky my friends.

Posted by: RickS Jun 15 2017, 10:36 PM

This is very sad news indeed. My sincere condolences to the family.

Posted by: mgp4591 Jun 15 2017, 11:07 PM

I don't think I ever met him but the event of anyone passing that young just seems wrong.... I hope his family has all the support they need at this difficult time. Sucks...

Posted by: euro911 Jun 18 2017, 11:25 AM

I was just informed that Peter (0396) passed away from cancer a few weeks ago, and now seeing this thread about Jeff. Shocked to say the least - who would have thought, being a young man seemingly in good physical condition?

I never had the opportunity to meet Jeff face-to-face, but we were 914 brothers on this forum over the past 10 years.

My sincerest condolences to Jeff's family and friends.

Posted by: mepstein Jun 18 2017, 12:47 PM

Sad to hear about Peter. I hadn't received a pm from him in some time.

Posted by: Mueller Jun 18 2017, 01:45 PM

FUCK! Sorry this one hurts, I've known Peter since we 1st met at a 914 meet down in LA in the very early 2000s, I was his passenger in his GT2 which at the time only had something like 2500 miles on it and couldn't rev it too much since it was not broken in, still a damn quick car under redline!

I knew he was sick for a long time and he'd send me pictures of his 914-6 race car and other projects and always asked me to not share the pictures and I always respected his request. I think it has been a few months since I last emailed him to say hi.

For those didn't know, the 0396 was a reference to his days at UPS, I think his route number or something like that. Great guy and will also be missed.

Posted by: euro911 Jun 18 2017, 02:07 PM

Peter and I conversed on the phone frequently and I visited with him and his wife at City of Hope a few times. I was glad he was well enough to show up at my Lift Construction Party back in 2012.

2017 is turning out to be pretty fuch'd up ... also lost my oldest brother in February and my mom was recently given < 6 months
