“He was just brilliant and prolific in any kind of literature, biographies, philosophy, religions — there isn’t a subject you can think of that he was not well versed in,” said Camille Gray, Blayne Tucker’s mother.
“He knew thousands of people, literally,” Gray said, yet Tucker was low-key about his famous associations.
And though the music business is tough, Carey said, “there was a certain sort of calmness to the way [Tucker] conducted himself. He wasn’t ever super interested in splashing his name everywhere, he just had this really cool, humble workmanlike attitude … And he never was concerned about what was in it for him. [He was] a total rarity in that way, just a good-spirited guy who wanted to make good things happen with music in San Antonio.
Tucker recognized the emergence of the St. Mary’s Strip as an important music sector in the city and started the North St. Mary’s Business Owners Association in 2015. Carey took over as director during the pandemic, in part to help Tucker focus on his advocacy for federal relief.Throughout his career, Tucker remained devoted to those close to him, Gray said. “He was completely devoted to his friends, his family, his nieces, and he was very involved in their lives,” she said.
Tucker was looking to move his mother closer to Helotes where he lived and worked so the two could spend more time together, she said, but an impending deal fell through.
