Celebration of Life for Tevaris Manny Man Tucker  October 05, 1980 – January 16, 2026

Tevaris Andrew Tucker, affectionately known as “Mann,” passed away peacefully and unexpectedly on January 16, 2026 at the age of 45. He was born on October 5, 1980, in Cleveland Ohio, to Marry Riggs and William Tucker. Mann graduated from Warrensville Heights High School in June 1999. He dedicated his life to Christ and was baptized at an early age.

If there was a cookout, Mann could always be found at the grill. He loved cooking, especially during the holidays, and proudly shared the skills his mom and dad taught him, including the family-favorite Sock-It-To-Me cake and dressing. Mann loved his family deeply and was fiercely loyal, always having their backs. Everyone knew, if he had it, they had it! Fishing was one of his favorite pastimes, along with enjoying a good card game, tending to his garden, playing video games and spending time with friends at the Deli. He loved all Cleveland sports teams, and he had a passion for all things electronic.

Mann treasured his nieces and nephews, and there was nothing he wouldn’t do for them. He always kept a stash of snacks and candy ready so he could spoil them whenever they came by. With a heart of gold, Mann left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered, he will never be forgotten.

He was preceded in death by his father, William Tucker; his nephew, Michael Riggs; and his brother-cousin, Rick Freeman.

Mann leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and unforgettable memories. He is survived by his beloved mother, Mary Riggs; one sister, Rakida Tucker (Thomas Descott); two brothers, David Acoff (Albirda) and Michael Riggs (Teresa); five nieces, Akisha Jones, Tamesha Acoff, Mikyla Riggs, Nevaeh Tucker, and Nashala Riggs; two nephews, Michael Hudson and Nessiah Descott; three great-nephews; four great-nieces; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends.
