Tracy Alan Reilly

Tracy Alan Reilly, 59 of Benton, KY passed away on Friday, December 5, 2025, at his residence.
Born Sunday, August 7, 1966 in Chicago, IL, Tracy retired as a pipefitter from local union #597 in Chicago. He was the kind of person that people don't forget, everywhere he went his character made itself known. People remember him from years ago because he was the kind of person who leaves an impact. Tracy had a deep love for cars and his mind held a plethora of mechanical knowledge. He loved watching football, specifically the Chicago Bears, true crime and arguing with the screen when something political came on. He would spend hours on Facebook never getting tired of it, although he often got himself in Facebook jail. Tracy was known as a joker with an endless number of jokes ready at any given moment. He loved tools and was the type of person who would bolt his welcome mat to his steps just to make you laugh after he passed. If you saw him with a drink in his hand it was always a soda, because that man loved soda. His beloved dog, Princess, passed away November 29, 2025. Even though he was devastated, he found peace in joking with his daughter that God would have a big stack of cheeseburgers waiting for Princess. His life could never be summed up in one short obituary, but if you knew him you will remember him.
He is survived by his sons, Michael Reilly of IL, David Reilly of IL, Nicholas Reilly of Benton, KY, Zackree Reilly of Benton, KY; daughters, Samantha Reilly of Benton, KY, Clarissa Reilly of Benton, KY; mother, Karen Duchoslav; sisters, Gina Wills, Serina Steglich; and several cousins, grandchildren and extended family.
He was preceded in death by his step father, Tobias "Dutch" Duchoslav and brother Michael Reilly, Sr.
A memorial service will be at 12:00 PM on Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at Collier Funeral Home located at 211 West 5th St., Benton, KY 42025.
The family will receive friends from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at Collier Funeral Home.
