Donald S. Tuck, 90, of Salem, Virginia, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, June 29, 2026. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend whose life was marked by hard work, quiet dedication, and a love for the outdoors.

Born Tuesday, October 29, 1935, in Roanoke, Va., to the late Early Dodridge Tuck and Virginia Mae Crawford Tuck.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife, Ann Brown Tuck; brother, Mickey D. Tuck.

Left to cherish his memory include; children, Sharon Huff (Wes Craft), Lisa Mitchell (Johnny), Brent McKinney (Dana), and Cheryl Wade; grandchildren, Alisha (Brian) and Hunter and Janelle; great-grandchildren, Gage, Nevaeh, and Claire; half-sister, Ella Davis; nephew, Mike; brother-in-law, David Brown (Dianne); and girlfriend, Betty Janney.

Donald attended Jefferson High School in Roanoke, Virginia, and began his working life with the Railroad and later at Valley Marine Center. He eventually retired from the United States Postal Service after more than 40 years of loyal service. Throughout his life, he was known for his strong work ethic and for always staying busy.

In his spare time, Donald enjoyed waterskiing, golfing, and hunting. He also had a special knack for piddling on various tasks, always finding something to fix, tinker with, or keep himself occupied.

Donald will be remembered most for his kind spirit, his devotion to family, and the warmth he brought to those around him. His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

The family will receive friends during a period of visitation on Thursday, July 2, 2026, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am at Melrose Baptist Church, located in Roanoke, VA. The memorial service is scheduled to commence at 11:00 am, followed by interment at Sherwood Burial Park in Salem, Virginia. Rev. Mark Mofield will officiate the service.
