It took a while for me to write this about a true friend of mine. It was all so unexpected. He was one of a kind. Loved playing cards, sports, you name it. I'll never forget the times we had, trips for games, or the times at work...still praying for strength and comfort for Vickie and the entire family. 🕊

I worked with Tracy at Hickory Hill.  He was one of the smartest  men that I  knew. He knew that  window  with his eyes closed.  He would always offer help. The customers loved him. Even when he retired everyone always asked about him. We still brag about how knowledgable he was. He will truly be missed!!.  Rest In Peace my brother. My condolences to his family.  🙏🙏🙏

Your family have our sincere condolences.  Our daughter,  Janai went to school with Jeremy and we would talk at the post office about our kids. Praying for your strength.  May God continue to watch over you and keep you!

This is Granny Williams,  praying for you and your family.  

My little cousin you will be missed.  I remember coming to  Memphis every summer.  Such a beautiful smile and a kind heart. I love you so much. 

I remember he and my mother played softball for the post office team💪🙏❤️
 I remember visiting him at Washington University and Vicky was there, I love you Vicky- I'm so sorry. 
I remember speaking to him about getting well so we can have our family reunion. He was my cousin that was more like my big brother.  Everyday until the funeral if I have a memory, I will post it here- thanks for this- peace be still- Tracy, I will see you in heaven like our great granny Lorain Holmes taught us.

To the family you have my deepest condolences. As a classmate with Tracy,  he was a quiet person growing up. We would see each other in passing class we would smile and speak. Tracy was a very smart and intelligent person.  I know he will be missed greatly.  God has another angel with him. Be bless family. 

I worked with Tracy at Hickory Hill Post Office. He was a very efficient employee and was truly missed when he wasn’t at work. Not only by the Post Office but also the customers. Everyone loved him. He was kind, caring, and always smiling.    He will truly be missed. My condolences to his family. May God bless and give you strength through this trying time.  Rest well Tracy!❤️

I remember Tracy and I both being at a U of M basketball game and the dress I was wearing was too revealing for his taste, so he told me about it.  When I told him his mom bought it for me, he got quiet.

 I remember him bringing his boys to me to get their hair braided when they were small.

I remember the first family reunion we had in Memphis at his house - we had such a good time- Tameka and I were both pregnant w/our boys- 17 years ago. This Memphis family reunion was suppose to happen - but Covid stopped it. When we get together it will be bitter sweet. I love you bro and to his remaining family, I love you guys soooo much and I have tight, long bear hugs when we see each other again, peace be still.

I’ve known Tracy since I was a child. He always said he loved to go to my grandparents house because they had that big yard and my granny could cook. His mom Essie and my aunt Peanye were very very good friends. Tracy kept me laughing at work and we would always talk about our sons football game. RIH Tracy. Praying for Vickie, Jeremy, Jamal and Jordan 

My heart is heavy hearing about the loss of Tracy.  You will be missed dearly.  Tracy had a heart of gold and love for his family and friends.   Miss you cuz.  I will continue to keep the family in my prayers. 

I remember you always smiling.  You will be missed.  From Karen Blue son, we love and pray for your family. 

I am so sorry for your lost I was looking forward to seeing everyone next year in Memphis but God was ready for Tracy to come home. I am praying for you family. May God look over his wife and children and give them strength and comfort

I worked on LSM with Tracy at the Post Office in the 80's.  It was a tiring and grueling job. Added to that, was the fact we worked at night, during this time span. But Tracy was a hard working, intelligent free spirit, who kept everyone laughing with his wry sense of humor. He was very knowledgeable about sports and other topics. And he would share his tidbits of knowledge with those closest to him. He was a very unique individual. He will truly be missed.
