Tracy spent most of his life working in logistics and operations, and recently worked for U.S. Payments in Tulsa as an Inventory Manager. To those who knew him, he was considered the BIGGEST A&M fan ever (Go Aggies!). He enjoyed spending time in the water, whether it was the ocean or the lake. Tracy had a great love for dancing and has taught many ladies how to dance, and in many different styles. He also loved golfing with family and friends. Tracy had recently moved to Tulsa to be with the love of his life, Trisha Sholar and her daughter Olivia. He leaves behind many loved ones who miss him and find comfort and joy in his memory.
