I was very saddened to hear of Tracy´s passing. I am a neighbor who often greeted him while he was out walking. Always engaging and pleasant, I will miss his presence. My heartfelt condolences to his family, here in Clarkston and elsewhere. Ron, Lori and Drew, I´m close by if you need anything.

We will miss Tracy. He was always cheerful, friendly, and helpful. I am afraid I took for granted that he would always be there. He was a valued member of our Sunday school class.

Tracy was a wonderful person. Kind to me, devoted in his service to the church and Christ. Always ready to lend a helping hand. You counted on seeing Tracy at church activities. He will be greatly missed.

Tracy Bracewell, where do I start? Tracy worked tirelessly alongside me and many others in the AC preparing meals for various and sundry groups and events. His specialties were the beverage station and the dreaded garbage. Tracy never complained about loading the bed of his truck with smelly, drippy trash and hauling it to the dumpster. Corrie Thomas shared that he was often in the office and seen all over the church campus helping. Tracy was also a faithful member of our Sunday School class and always had profound and meaningful comments to share. From the outside, you may have questioned whether Tracy had a disability, but if you knew him, he lived the life of an able-bodied human with a heart overflowing with love. Tracy, God rest your soul and I hope to meet up with you again one day. Your dearest friend, Kay Entrekin
