I'm still having such a hard time believing this has really happened ! My heart breaks for all who have ever known Tracy . Such a huge void we are going to have in our lives knowing we will never hear that voice or see that million dollar smile again . Tracy's love for his boys , his family and his landscaping was something special for sure !!! I feel so lucky for the friendship we had I will treasure the memories forever !!! Thank you Tracy for sharing a small bit of your life with me ! You will never be forgotten .

Tracy and I were teammates at SFA. What I remember most is that Tracy was always laughing, and, would have everyone around him laughing as well. Even in the middle of a game. Tracy also had a gift for giving his teammates nicknames that stuck. A kind and gentle soul has been lost. AxeEm Jacks, Tracy. Big D

Connor & Clark, you definitely have the prayers of the Kegler Family. I lost my dad when I was just 22 also so I know the pain, but because of my relationship with my dad and God, time made things brighter. Remain faithful to the promise of God and he will give you strength. You are great young men and the Kegler family will continue to pray for each of you.

This man taught me a lot about the insurance world. But better yet taught me a lot about friendship.We had lost touch for the last few years but he was the kind of person you could call three years later and just pick up where you left off. He loved his kids and family more than anything and he will be greatly missed RIP my friend Love Ya Robert Gould

Have only good memories of him. Back some 20 years ago or more he was the first person to help my husband & I with our insurance needs. Him & his father both came to our home. Met with him several times and always a gentleman & very kind. He was a proud father & loved talking about his children. Rest in peace Tracy, you will be Dearly Missed.

Even though you were a cousin, you were always like an older brother to me and I cherish the time I had with you. Although we lost touch, I've never forgotten the confidence you gave me when we visited the farm and I'll cherish all the things you said to me. Thanks for helping me be a better man and perhaps one day I can tell stories to your sons of the kind of man that I remember. Godspeed brother.

Now is the time for all to stand in agreement that life is short and only GOD knows when and where our journey will come to an end on this earth. But rejoice that Tracy found the LORD an will spend his eternal life seeking more of OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. GOD, I ask you to send comfort to the family that is hurting for their loss.

Words cannot describe the sadness I feel at the loss of Tracy. He was my friend, teammate (SFA) and also in my wedding years ago. There are so many stories I could share of the greatness that Tracy was and the incredible heart and laughter that he shared with us all. He was one of a kind! I know one thing.....he loved his boys more than life itself and he was so very proud of them. I thank you, Tracy for the many laughs and good times that we shared together at SFA. You were a true friend and I will miss you, brother. I will see you in Heaven. Horsehead
