He treasured family gatherings and especially cherished the time he spent creating lasting memories with his grandchildren.

Tracy was an active and devoted member of Greater Mt. Zion Baptist Church, attending services whenever he was not traveling. He found fellowship, spiritual growth, and community through the church.

A passionate sports enthusiast, Tracy proudly supported the Texas Longhorns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Lakers, and Texas Stars hockey. His love for the Pittsburgh Steelers extended to his membership in the Pittsburgh Steelers Fan Club of Austin.

He will be remembered for his love of family, his passion for sports, his appreciation for good food and fellowship, and the special joy he found in spending time with those closest to him. His laughter, warmth, and genuine love for others will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
