Hubert James Hoking, Jr. "Tuck"

On the morning of November 8, 2021, the golden gates opened for Mr. Hubert James Hoking Jr. He was 35 years old. Hubert was born in Saginaw, Michigan on August 10, 1986, to Constance and Vernon Nelson.

Hubert “Tuck” enjoyed basketball, family, music, watching his children encounter their goals such as “basketball, football, cheerleading, volleyball, TikTok and entrepreneur-ship”. He wrote and released a CD. Tuck was a very charismatic, free-spirited, outgoing, outspoken, loving, and caring young man.

Tuck was full of brotherly love by bullying his sister, (Stahr), which explains their strong, unbreakable, brotherly/sisterly bond.
