Tracy attended Jefferson High School and then went into the logging business with his dad. He worked in the logging industry for thirty plus years. He was knowledgeable of logging equipment and later owned and operated his own MACK trucks.

Tracy loved deer hunting and when not hunting he loved to drive his children and then grandchildren around and watch the deer playing in the pastures. He has a passion for gun collecting and reloading ammunition.

In later years he discovered a love for carpentry and made many beautiful tables, chests, and other cherished pieces for his children and grandchildren.

Tracy’s great accomplishment and the joy of his life were his children and grandchildren. He totally adored each and every one of them.

A special thank you to Whispering Pines Lodge of Longview and Hospice Connection of Longview for taking such great care of him and loving him like their own family.

  1. Our most sincere thoughts and prayers are with Tracy’s family and friends during this difficult time. May each of you feel the comforting strength of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior as you recall the happiest of your precious memories.

  2. Dear Aunt Celestine, John, and All of the Family, We are so sorry to hear about losing Tracy on this Earth. I am so sorry! We Love You so much. I would really love to meet all these beautiful children and grandchildren. I know Tracy was wonderful with them. I will be thinking of you throughout this difficult time, and with you in spirit on Saturday. I have such fond memories of all the times we spent together, especially Sunday dinners at Grandma’s. I hope we can get-together with the family at some time! I love and miss you so much!!! Always, Cathy

  3. I have so many fond memories of your dad … He sure made spending the night alot more fun.. I will never forget him. Neither will my pinky toe… Lol… It was never boring over at the McDaniels house..always a ton of fun with truly amazing people that i am blessed to have spent my childhood years with… Much love to you all. He was a great towel popper… The best I’ve ever seen. Lol.

  4. My sincere condolences to the family. My prayer is that God help you to deal with your loss and give you hope. There is hope for the future. Jesus promise to resurrect those in the graves in John 5:28,29. Psalm 37:10,11 tells us that there will be people live forever on the earth and in Matthew 5:5 Jesus indicated that this would be true. Revelation 21:1-4 describes a beautiful home those who live forever will have, and it is on earth. I hope this helps a little. Much more is found at JW. ORG. Steve
