Jeremiah “Hamp” Tucker was born December 5, 1950 to the late Mr. Roosevelt Tucker Sr. and Mrs. Nettie Mae Leslie Tucker. He attended Meriwether County School System. Afterwards he entered into the workforce where he worked faithfully until he retired. At an early age Hamp joined Rocky Mt. Bethel Baptist Church in Luthersville, Georgia where he remained a member until his death.

On April 12, 2020 while doing what he loved, The Lord called home his servant. He was preceded in death by his parents Mr. & Mrs. Roosevelt and Nettie Mae Tucker and brother John Wesley Tucker, and son Deric Robinson.

Hamp leaves to cherish his precious memory two daughters: Demeatria Robinson of Hogansville, Georgia and Shanta McGill of Sharpsburg, Georgia. Three sons: Jeremiah Robinson of Hogansville, Georgia, Terry Robinson of Griffin, Georgia and Eric (Aronda) Robinson of LaGrange, Georgia. Two loving sisters: Mary Tucker Ferrell of Gay, Georgia and Ludie Tucker of Senoia, Georgia. Four brothers: Roosevelt (Delores) Tucker of Atlanta, Georgia, Willie (Annie) Tucker, and Leonard Tucker both of Gay, Georgia and James (Mary) Tucker of Newnan, Georgia. One Aunt: Maebell Leslie of Gay, Georgia. One sister in law: Mary Tucker of Lutherville, Georgia. 10 Grandkids, 4 great grandkids, a host of devoted nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Hamp was a person that kept to himself but had a heart of gold, willing to help in any way that he could. He always had a joke or prank to keep you laughing. If you knew Hamp you know he kept a pot of dried beans boiling with a pot of meat. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.
