Tracy Lee Braden

Tracy use to live with my best friend Caryn and I in C/Springs for a while~~~talk about a character. Never a dull moment with him around. Even though it has been years since I've seen him, my heart is broken by the news of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and those closest to him. In time, may the Lord heal your broken hearts so that soon he will see your smiles from heaven.
Peace, Love and Pearl Jam Puddin'

Tracy,
Our friendship has lasted through the worst of times, and the best! I will have a lifetime of memories of you, and the time we spent together. Sorry I was out of touch the last few months, I will regret that more than you'll ever know. You will always be "puddin" to me!
Love you always
Caryn

Even though I hadn't seen you in quite some time, I will never forget the times we had in our highschool days. This whole thing makes me realize how important it is to keep in touch with those you care about. You'll never know when that option will cease. I can only wish I could have seen you before this happened so I could tell you how many people's lives you've touched. And the influences you've had on so many people. Rest In Peace brother. You will be...

My first memory of Tracy is of him coming to the swimming pool at Sierra High School. His big sister Tonya and I worked there as lifeguards. He would show up eary and want to stay late. Tonya would tell him to just go home, but I would tell her that it was ok for him to stay. I couldn't resist his big smile and his flashy eyes. I even took him home to introduce him to my mom on one of my lunch breaks. Through the years we kept in touch because our families became close and I was able to...

Tracy, I just want you to know that I always looked up to you and admired you. I am lucky to have you as my brother. When Melissa and I came out to Colorado to see you I really got to know you and saw how full of life you were. You were just so fun to be around and I wanted to be just like you. I am so grateful we were able to spend that time together. I just want you to know that you will always, always be in my heart and I know you are at peace now. I cherish the moments we got to spend...

Hey Bro.
Remember when you used to put me in the clothes hamper and set ontop so i couldnt get out and dad would have to come save me. And how I always wanted to tag along to your friends house.. what about when youd babysit me and tell me there was a moth in the corner that would eat me if i moved.. I also remember when you let my hampster out because it needed exercise and said it would come back when it got hungry.. well it hasnt been back yet. There was also the time when you told...

Tracy was a spark, funny and so full of life. I am shocked and saddened by the news of his death. I am so sorry, Helen, for the loss of Tracy. May he rest in peace.

Tracy, I don't think you will ever know how much I will miss you. I will miss all our inside jokes, our serious talks and all the fun times we had. You got me though one of the toughest times in my life. A time when you were one of the only people I could trust. I am lucky to have gotten to know you the way I did. You did have an impact on my life, and I am sure many others too. I hope you find your peace and know how much you are loved.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Tracy. May you all get through this difficult time with the love and understanding from one another. Tracy will be missed, but his memory will never be forgotten.
