He was preceded in death by the love of his life, Maycel Fitzgerald; his parents; a sister, Wanda Watts and husband, Virgil; step-daughter, Karen Lewis; and nieces, Cheryl Watts Vines and Monnie Watts Young, who were like his children because he had none of his own.

His three nieces, Monnie, Cheryl, and Janet, thought they had to be in his car whenever he moved it. He worked from a very early age the railroad, Hamburger Row, elevator operator, and jewelry seller, but mostly in sales, finally being with AFLAC for 31 years, retiring at age 77. He was in the United States Army from 1950-1952 in Japan and Korea one year. He was also a Gideon and was a Sunday school teacher at Ebenezer Baptist Church. Tunney was baptized at a very early age and continued to love the Lord until his dying breath. He was very knowledgeable about the Bible. Our great family historian, he never had to look anything up.
