He loved his family more than anything and would do anything for them.

To one special cousin! I was so saddened to hear of Tracy’s passing, but I am so thankful I got to know him these past few years. I always enjoyed our talks, and I am going to miss them so much! I never got the chance to meet him in person but in the times we spent talking, he was truly a great guy – kind, loving, and so personable. He will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart, and I will cherish the friendship we built. Love you, Tracy!
Sending love, hugs, and prayers to his family!
