"I don't even know where to begin. You were my best friend and an even better big brother, my entire life, I've spent looking up to you and trying to follow in your footsteps because you were always my hero," read the caption. 

"I know one thing is for certain and that is that I will continue to spend the rest of my life looking up to you until we meet again.

The post also asked for privacy for the family as they mourn and begin to navigate what life looks like without Tucker. 

"We are deeply grateful for the kindness and understanding shown to our family," the post finished.

Tucker launched his TikTok account in May 2019 and over six years garnered quite a following.

He had a combined following of around 3 million across TikTok and Instagram was known for videos about his life, pranks, comedy sketches and often included his siblings. 

The brothers' joint TikTok account, Hustle House, had over 1.1 million followers. 

The influencer's final post was shared on December 10, a day before his death.

"Wish I could relive some of these moments twice," he captioned the post on TikTok. 

He shared a collection of photos from every month of 2025, set to the popular audio which splices a quote from Ricky Gervais about life being precious.

"Well, I think life is precious because you can't watch it again. But once you realize you're not going to be around forever, I think that's what makes life so magical," Gervais says in the voiceover.
