Tracy Brant Welborn

Tracy Brant Welborn, 62, was taken home to be with Jesus on August 6, 2026, in Plano, Texas. Born on July 13, 1964 in Dallas to his late parents Myles and Pansy Welborn, he grew up in Richardson, TX and was a beloved son, brother, father, grandfather, and friend whose life was marked above all by his deep love for Jesus and his desire to share with others the love and grace he had received from the Lord.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Myles Brantley Welborn Jr and Pansy Dale Turpen Welborn, his older brother, Todd Lee Welborn, and his grandmother, Loraine “grandmom” Welborn.

He attended Baylor University and later received his P.A. from UTMB in Galveston.

He is survived by his son, Brantley Todd Welborn, and daughter-in-law, Devon Welborn; his grandchildren, Easton and Cambree Welborn; his younger sister, Tandy Welborn Jouret, and her husband, Vince Jouret; and their children, Riley, Jake, and Ashten Vee Jouret; and his lifelong friend, Scott Estes.

Tracy loved God deeply. He treasured truth above all else and was passionate about pointing people toward the hope found in Christ. His faith was not merely something he believed; it shaped the way he lived and the way he treated others.

Tracy was a man abundant in good deeds. He intentionally looked for opportunities to help others, often going far beyond what was expected of him. He loved giving to his family and to those in need. He gave much, even when he had little. He helped people with their expenses, prayed with them, listened to their stories, and offered encouragement and hope. He had a gift for making people feel known and valued. Whether he had just met someone or had known them for years, Tracy sought to understand them and find meaningful ways to help. He had a special tenderness toward stray animals (taking in 2 dogs in his recent years), children, and those who were overlooked by society.

His generosity was especially evident in the way he loved his family. Tracy was a devoted father to his son, Brantley, and their relationship was a central part of his life. They spoke almost every day about what God was teaching them. Tracy adored his grandchildren, Easton and Cambree. He was always asking for pictures of them, buying them gifts, and chasing them around as “Crazy Grandpa”. He looked for ways to help and bless their young family oftentimes through acts of service like having groceries delivered to their front door or coming over to help do dishes or fold laundry. Some of his happiest memories were made with his sister and her family at their ranch; fishing, camping, cooking and playing with Jake, Riley, and Ashten which brought him great joy.

He loved being outdoors in God’s creation and took long walks alone each day, using that time to pray and seek the Lord.

Tracy’s life leaves behind a legacy of faith, generosity, compassion, and hope. He sought to know people, serve them, and point them toward Christ. God used every season of Tracy’s life, including its challenges and triumphs, to deepen his faith and produce fruit that touched countless lives.

It has been said many times, but of Tracy the words could not be more fitting:

Let’s live like Tracy.
