In Memory Of

Tucker Charles Wiseman, age 39, of East Helena

May 11, 1984 – March 5, 2024

Tucker Charles Wiseman (Soup Bone, Tuck, Daddy). On the evening of March 5th, 2024 Tucker un-expectantly went to sleep in Spokane, WA, and finally got the chance to see his brother and dad again. Tucker was 39 years young and was able to have the love of his youngest son and wife be close before his passing.

Tucker Wiseman was born in Helena, MT to Chuck Wiseman and Sherri (Watts) Wiseman. He was Chuck’s first son and Sherri’s first mama’s boy, which Tucker was proud to be!

Tucker grew up in East Helena, MT surrounded by so much family, his best friend and brother Tyser, parents that loved and adored him, and so many neighborhood friends. The kids all roamed the neighborhoods, creating havoc but laughing till the day was done. They loved riding bikes, motorcycles, snowmobiling, going camping at Devil’s Elbow as a family, and was the home that everyone went to for love. Tucker was the oldest boy cousin (except for his 3 older, lovingly bossy female cousins CoCo, Lacey & Emma) that everyone looked up to and loved. He cared so deeply about all his brother and cousins, and did what he could to make them happy and feel his love. He loved taking care of the younger kids between family and his mom Sherri’s daycare kids.

Tucker continued into high school and found a newfound love for making the girls blush and everyone feel like they had a best friend instantly. Tucker made lifelong friendships that luckily continued into adulthood. Even when he didn’t talk to someone for years, it had felt as though no time had passed when he ran into someone and they were able to catch up. Not long after graduating Helena High School, Tucker lost his best friend and brother Tyser. The boys had just gone through losing their dad, Chuck, two years prior, then for Tucker to lose his brother was very breaking for him. He struggled with these losses until his last day when they got to be together again finally.

It was very rare to find a person that didn’t instantly catch on to that smile, eyes and dimples that made you feel like you’ve known him forever. Tucker had a knack for creating bonds with people. He loved to talk (hours and hours given the chance), and help those that needed help. If you wanted to know Tucker’s mood, you just had to hear what song he was humming, singing, or listening to at that time. He turned to music at the best and most difficult times in life. It always took forever to get anything done with him because he always found someone to talk to or help in any way.

If you have ever felt the love of Tucker, the big, gentle teddy bear, consider yourself lucky. He would have done anything in his power to make sure you knew the love he felt. Tucker did struggle with his mental health and addiction in the end of life. It broke his heart that people set boundaries for themselves through his struggles and he wasn’t able to tell them how much he loved them. Anytime he spoke with someone, he always mentioned his love for his family and kids. He was working so hard to better himself and be the best version of himself he could ever be but never got that chance to show the world what he was made of after all his losses and struggles.

Tucker was preceded in death by his brother Tyser Wiseman, dad Charles (Chuck) Wiseman, Grandpa Jerry Spurlock, grandparents Curly and Doris Wiseman, aunt Christy Spurlock, Ian Moran and many other friends and family. We can only imagine the welcoming he got from those that passed before him!

Tucker was survived by his kids; Tyven Wiseman of East Helena, MT, Trysten Wiseman of Spokane, WA, Marque, Azelyn, and Xana Wiseman all of East Helena, MT, wife (separated but best friend) Megan Lewing of Spokane, WA, mother and big supporter Sherri (Bret) Watts of East Helena, sister Leah (Craig) Martin; along with their children Shelby, Brady, Darby, and Libby Martin, grandma Dot Spurlock of Helena, Uncle Barney Spurlock, uncle Kevin (Stacey) Spurlock, aunt Brenda Walker, aunt Krysta (Guy) Williams, and a multitude of cousins, friends, and other loved ones.

Tucker’s family would like to welcome you to a graveside service at Forestvale Cemetery for the burial of his ashes to go next to his brother Tyser on Saturday March 23rd at 12:00 noon. We will then head to the basement of the VFW in East Helena, MT for a celebration of life and a time to share memories of Tucker. Join us for food, chatting, and laughter from 1-3 pm. The uncles will be cooking some wonderful protein.  Feel free to bring a side dish or dessert.

Sherri and Megan want to thank all the love from everyone that reached out for support, condolences, and stories they have shared honoring Tucker. Let’s continue to remember those good times and please continue to share those stories! Big thank you to Colette Murley, Mark Nay, and anyone else that helped Tucker be the best him he could be.

To make donations in honor of Tucker’s name, donations can be made to the Housing in Healthcare/FUSE Operation Fund through St. Peter’s Health Foundation at 2475 Broadway, Helena, MT 59601. To donate to the family, a fund has been set up at Valley Bank of Helena, just ask to donate to Tucker Wiseman’s memorial fund.

    It was just over a week ago Tucker and I last spoke. We were childhood friends and friends well into our adulthood. He was like a brother to me. We seen the space needle in Seattle on New years 2021, we grew up playing poker (Both great Texas hold em’ players but he was better than I) and fishing and gathering with other friends at canyon ferry lake. He had such a big heart ❤️ and loved his family and friends so much. He loved to go on drives into the mountains and jam out music all the time. He loved music of all kinds as do I and we would share new music we discovered with each other. We worked out together in the gym when we were 21 years old and he taught me alot about physical fitness. He loved his brother and family and talked about them to me all the time. He called me his bro and one of his best friends. I miss him so much already but I know he is watching over everyone now. He really cared about people. My thoughts and prayers ❤️ go out to all who loved him….family and friends and his children and people who knew him well in the Helena community. We had so many fun and special memories. For those who knew him he will never be forgotten. Love you Tucker. You were my broskie!! 💯 ☀️

    So sorry about Tucker. I found a scripture I like to share at JW.org, Acts 24:15, “there is going to be a resurrection,” I wish your family the very best for the future.
