Kendall (“Kenny”) Tuckerman passed peacefully on Jan. 15, 2026, at EvergreenHealth Hospice in Kirkland, Washington, at age 55, following a battle with metastatic melanoma.

    Kenny is survived by his husband, David; their adult children Lowell, Whitney Trexel (Eric), Carter, and Jacob; and grandchildren Emma and Max Trexel. He was predeceased by his parents, Wallace (“Ken”) and Barbara Woolley of Opelika, Alabama.

    Before moving to Lake Stevens, Washington, in 2021, Kenny and David were longtime residents of Lamorinda, first in Orinda and later in Lafayette. Kenny was an active volunteer in the Lafayette School District and had an interest in supporting and advocating for students with special needs, including serving on the Board of the SEED Foundation. He subsequently served for more than two years as a member of the Lafayette School District Governing Board. He was a dedicated volunteer with Canine Companions, having helped and raised five litters of puppies for service dog training.

    A memorial service is planned for spring 2026, with the location TBD. To receive notification of the event, please contact Jean Follmer at jeanfollmer@yahoo.com.
