Jonathan Wade Tracy

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we announce the unexpected passing of Jonathan Wade Tracy on Friday, April 1, 2022 at the age of forty. He was born in Saint John, New Brunswick on September 20th, 1981.

Left to cherish Jonathan’s memory are his wife, Krystine; his children, Julien Hayes and Luka Gerald; his parents Gerald “Jerry” & Donalda; his brother, Jeffrey (Danielle); his nieces, Adalyn, Everlee and Isabelle; his parents-in-law, John & Claudette Wawrzonek; his siblings-in-law, Leo (Linda) Wawrzonek, Michael (Kim) Wawrzonek, Valerie (David) Luft, and Trevor (Sharri) Wawrzonek as well as an aunt, uncles and cousins.

Jonathan was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Carl & Doreen Tracy and his maternal grandparents, Donnie & Shirley Dickieson.

Jonathan was the embodiment of love; he was patient and kind, did not envy nor boast. He was not proud, and always made sure that he did not dishonor others. He was never self-seeking, was not easily angered, and did not hold a grudge. He always protected, always trusted, always hoped, and always persevered for those he loved. His love never failed.

Above all Jonathan loved his family. He enjoyed camping and spending time with his family and friends whenever and wherever he could, in person or over miles with a phone or video call. We will always keep a chair for you at our campfires. You are loved. You will be remembered. You are missed.

A Celebration of Jonathan’s Life will be held at 1:30 pm on April 11th, 2022 at Parkland Funeral Chapel, 3502 – 44 Avenue, Stony Plain, AB with Pastor Gary McKellar officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Jonathan’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada.

One Day

Yesterday you sang a song

And laughed so happily

With a cheerful smile and heart of gold

That meant so much to me

Yesterday was fun and games

Your smile was here to stay

Yesterday we had no fears

‘Cause the end seemed far away

Today has come too quickly

I’m not ready to say goodbye

I wish I could turn back time

Or have you instead of the tears I cry

Today I feel the pain of loss

And God knows my loss is His gain

My mourning may be overcome

But never all my pain

One day I will realize

That you simply could not stay

You’ll live on in my memories

Until we meet again one day

I’ll love you forever ♥

Krystine
