You will forever be loved and missed by everyone who knew you. Truly, even as my grandfather, you were my bestest of friends. no one matched my sense of humor or playful energy how you did, always letting me tease you and playing for hours, typically ending with you getting injured because you wanted to “show me how its done”. The moment i stepped foot in the shop, i looked forward to racing over to your bench and bothering you whilst you worked. now i help mom work at that same bench, and it feels so empty without your smile and laughter. you and trevmo were the brightest souls to have ever blessed this earth, and though i miss you both dearly, i cant be truly upset that my angels get to be together in a home fit for the contiguous joy and boundless love you both possessed. I aspire to light up everyones day how you did without even trying, and i live with your memory forever in my heart.

Thanks for taking the time to teach a little kid how to drive a boat. One of my fondest memories I'll cherish forever. Till we see each other again.  SDB

Good by to a life long friend. A friend who was loved dearly, a friend who was there no matter what.  We became friends when our children were babies and our friendship grew over the years. Our children were raised almost as brother and sister and because of our friendship our children are still best friends as close as family today. Tracy will be missed and our hearts will ache for his loss.  I know God had a special place in heaven for him, as he earned it here on earth. He is flying high with the Angles now, and I know he has them singing and dancing with him. God be with the family. We love them all and will never forget our Tracy.

I cane to know Tracy in 2015 as a solid business partner for Halliburton. Was always happy to see me & help me in any way possible.  He always had a great story to tell me everytime I stopped in to visit.  I'll miss him very much  !
Lots of Love Eric !!!

It has been many years since we have seen Tracy. His mom Margaret was my Godmother Anne Selders  sister. We would have get togethers in Garden Grove CA  or in Los Angeles at the boarding house where a lot of couples lived before they bought their own homes. One Mothers Day between all the families there was almost 20 kids. I also remember having homemade spaghetti dinners when Anne's mom would come from Arkansas and we would all be in the backyard playing just waiting for that spaghetti & meatballs to be ready.  RIP Tracy.

I know Tracy is dancing around heaven with little Trevor. Everyone loved to watch Tracy dance and he taught many of us to keep dancing over the years. He loved big and he knows just how very much he was loved in return. This guy was special in every way and I just hold Carrie and the rest of his family in my prayers for peace and comfort. 

Kind, gentle, generous, loving, fun, funny....  this is the common theme running through every post on here.  And I can attest to the validity of every good thing that has been said.  Tracy was simply a GOOD MAN.   Each of us who loved him will always have an empty place in our hearts that he once occupied.  He and Kathy went above and beyond every day in their business.  Our community will feel his loss for a long time to come.  God Bless each of us who are mourning his loss while we also are visualizing him dancing in heaven.  I know Trevor was there to welcome him with open arms and I know my parents were there to greet him - they loved him as much as everyone else. So thankful they moved into our neighborhood many years ago. Travis and Trina brought a lot of joy and laughter to that neighborhood!  We love each of you and will continue to pray for your peace and comfort in the coming days, weeks, months and years.  For this big a loss takes a long time to adjust to.  Carrie, we don’t know you and your family, but we love you because Tracy loved you and your family. God Bless You all! 
In Christ’s Love...

I will always hold our trips to the lake and playing darts and cards and farkle as a little girl very dear to my heart 💜. You're smile and laughter always brightened my day and your hugs we're the kindest and most caring. We may not be blood related but we will always be family. Until we meet again look after my daughter up there for me. Forever and always my friend I love you.

We will all miss your contagious love and laughter. I'm so glad we met Brad & Shannon, they lead ya'll into our lives. So many fun parties, trips, and adventures! I am honored to have known and loved you! Rest in Peace my friend! Prayers for sweet Carrie and all the family💖 Dance on,  til we meet again!
Love, 
Chad & Tracy

Gosh, I can't think of a kinder or happier person than Tracy. I have known Amanda and her family for a long time, I always felt welcomed.  His laugh/giggle, I will never forget, his happiness was infectious. 

Reach out if you need anything.

Love, 
Elissa K.



Tracy was my brother! I loved him with all my heart. We always believed in family.  Loving was just what he was the best at. We had so many good times together.  I will always have his smile tucked in my heart. He loved life and always wanted to experience new adventures.  His wife Carrie also. They were the cutest couple.  Liked to sing and dance. They just were fun to watch! Their love shined. I will miss and love my brother until i see him again. 

I could talk on & on about Tracy but I wouldn’t be telling anyone something they didn’t already know. I do want to thank the Brown family for sharing there brother with me & my family as they loved him as much as I did. We had 48years with a wonderful man in our lives & I wouldn’t change it for anything. I love you & miss you. 

Tracy will be missed by everyone he ever met.  His laugh made you also want to laugh, because he was so full of joy.  My heart is broken to lose such a wonderful person.  Fly high with Jesus my dear sweet friend. You will be in our hearts forever. 

Such an uplifting kind soul that will truly be missed! A true joy to be around....your love for life was so very contagious! Fly high sweet angel......

My condolences to the family, may God give each one of you the peace that only he can give. Tracy was my BFB: first he was my Boss; quickly he became my Friend; and as time went by I feel he became my Brother. I will miss the talks we had in the shop in the morning before anyone else got there.  May he Rest In Peace.

My heart hurts.  I will have you in my heart and my memories forever. We have all sorts of memories with Tracy. Cousins always up to something when we were together. All my love to the family and friends that will surely miss you. I have a feeling heaven won't know what hit it when you arrived. Your heart was always open to everyone. Your laughter was always louder than everyone,  and you welcomed all life and love had to offer.   And while your there please hug, kiss and maybe apologize to all for our shenanigans.  I'll see you when I see you!!! Rest easy.

Our hearts are completely heartbroken that you are gone, but they are also so full from having you in our lives.  Our memories are so abundant that I cannot begin to list them all.  The two of us had some much fun, and a little bit of trouble, together; but our greatest memories involved the whole family.   Mollie loving on you with your grease stained hand while refusing to love on Grandpa; your trek across the country with Jeff in a U-haul (I do not want to know what you guys did); and Macie insisting on sleeping with you down in the basement.  We will miss making more of those, but we will cherish the ones we have.  Please give hugs and kisses to all those in Heaven.  Until we me again, continue being the LIFE of the PARTY!!!

Dear friend
We are going to miss everything about you you were by far one of are best friends. 
I hope your dancing!

Love Brad and Shannon 

Tracy was a really great employer to me and help teach me more about being a locksmith for him and his family  and Cathy I’m so blessed to be a part of the blessed family there love towards me I’ve never had a great job as I have working for them I will see my brother in heaven one day GOD bless this great bussiness and family

To a wonderful friend who knew how to light up a room with his laughter and wit. We’ve shared so many laughs and good times. I always thought I’d see you again. It’s true that only the good die young.  Rest in peace, dear Tracy.  See you again some day. 

Memories of Tracy will never fade.  He was the most giving, loving, happiest person.  Not a stingy bone in his body.  He could "light-up a room with his "loud voice" filled with love,  big laughs, and ear-to-ear smiles.  He never spoke negative of anyone.  He would do anything to help you!

 He was a blessing to me.   I will carry the fondest memories of Tracy in my heart.  Maybe we could spread some  of "Tracy's love" to others. 

My love, thoughts, and prayers are with sweet Carrie,  his family,  and to so many that loved him---he was not a friend,  he was loved family member.

My deepest condolences 

Dean Byrd





Tracy was like a father to me. I have known him since the day I was born.  He let me live with him when I was 15 years old and did not have a place to call home. He always treated me like a son and I will miss him dearly. He is, and always will be, family to me. He has a special place in my heart.

I will always love and miss you.  Please say hello to my dad and Trevor for me. 

I will miss Tracy's laugh and welcoming smile.  My heartfelt sympathies to all of his family and friends.  Rest in peace Tracy.  I will miss you.

So many tears have fallen the past several days since I learned Tracy was sick, and then of his passing. Countless fond memories with him have flooded my mind since.  I am so grateful for the many years of friendship we had where I was proud to call him my best friend.  Just knowing that I will never get to see his smile or hear his contagious laughter again in my lifetime makes me incredibly sad. This world lost a bright shining light, and a piece of my heart went with it. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Carrie, his children, to his ex-wife and partner Kathy, and to all of his loved ones and friends.  To know him was to love him, and he will be dearly missed by so many.  The only solace I can find is knowing he is reunited with his grandson in Heaven.  My love and condolences to all of you. I pray you will find comfort through your faith and the wonderful memories you made together until you are reunited again. May you Rest In Peace old friend. Gone but never forgotten.  Hope to see you again in Heaven someday... with love, 

Stacey Barkley


He was my only locksmith I’ve used for many many years but better than that he was a great friend and always made you laugh! He is already greatly missed.  Sending prayers to the family.
