Tracy Burton

I knew Tracy for a week during a photo workshop in summer 2016. He was the kindest and sweetest guy and once we learned that we shared the same birthday - Valentine's Day - it cemented a certain kinship. Later in the week he generously offered me passes to the Whitney Museum. I am thinking of him today on Valentine's Day and was stunned to just learn of his passing. Condolances and peace to his family. He truly was a bright light. And I will always remember him.

I would like to express my condolences to you Alex and ask that you share them with your family as well. My expressions are on behalf of myself and Lance.

I believe there are no words that can describe the sorrow and sadness everyone must feel about this tragic loss. My heart is in conflict because I never thought sorrow would be associated with Tracy, only love and laughter. Almost every birthday, I told him that being a Valentine baby was so appropriate for him because he saw life...

Tracy your light shone bright, and when that light went off the world does not feel the same anymore.
We are grateful to have known you, been your friends and enjoyed your kindness and fun spirit. We will always treasure the amazing memories at the Jam Factory!
You will be sorely missed. We love you Tracy.

I think he must be right, and don't' want to be missing you Tracy
I want you to be next to me, in my mind and in my heart every day
every time I will point my camera to shoot what I used to call a Tracy style picture of a building or church
every time I will eat a special recipes made with love using fresh ingredients and...

I am so sad that Tracy is no longer here to brighten up the world! He has made a lasting impression on me throughout the years. I will carry on his message - "love always wins!" Peace and comfort to family and friends.

So sorry to hear this very sad news. We only met Tracy once several years ago but he was fun, charming and very friendly.

I am so grateful for the time we got to spend together in Seattle, Hawaii, New York! I will miss your smile and laughter. Forever young forever in my heart. Healing thoughts and prayers to all of yours!!

It was my honour to be your friend DTJB, I am thankful to have known you, loved you and been loved by you. In death I miss you, you may be gone but you are never forgotten. Love always wins xxx
