Everett Henry Tracy III, 60, passed away on January 18, 2020. He was born in Bakersfield on October 10, 1959, the son of late Everett Tracy II and Ada Lorene Tracy. In addition to his parents, he was also predeceased by his sister, Sandy Hanna.
Everett loved spending time with family and friends, especially his grandchildren. He was always ready for a family gathering, usually grilling something to perfection with a cold beer in hand and providing the corny jokes. He was an outdoorsman with a passion for hunting and fishing; excited to share the stories from his last trip, while planning his next. An expert in lifting and hoisting, Everett worked in the crane business for 40 years. He was especially proud when he helped move Merle Haggard’s childhood house to the Kern County Museum. His love for historic Bakersfield, country music, and crane work was all wrapped up into one.
Everett will be remembered for his unwavering commitment to his family and his love for a good time. There are many who will miss him, but none more so than his wife Harriet Tracy, son Jared Ashby (Nancy), daughter Cheyenne Harriger (David), and grandsons Hunter Harriger, Nixon Ashby, and Cooper Harriger.
