Tracy Jones Obituary

Hey Tracy man it has been a while since I have talked to you and in that time you have been reunited with 3 aunties and your momma I know she is in heaven (literally). I was just sitting here thinking about you and it dawned on me I can have a little chat with you you know that this world is crazy as all outdoors. I still think about you and miss you but I know you are doing great up there give my mom and your mom a big hug for me and tell Eddie I love and miss him too.

Love you,

Patty

Cuzo not a day goes by without me thinking of you.
Your love ,your companion, your attention to details.

For aways in my heart.
Thanks for the memories.

Tracy, you are missed every day cousin. I’m so grateful for the memories God has allowed me to keep in my heart of our time together as cousins while you were here on this earth. Love you forever, Monica

Wow Tra, its 2020 and you wouldnt believe whats happening here on Earth! America is in a bad way we need Jesus more than ever before.

wow someone found your page. on her birthday of all days. yes, many have left us, but so many are still here living life, some good, some not so good, but holding on. we will welcome another member to the family today as leonel gets married. I found some photo's of you that I had long forgotten about, but I am so glad to still have. glad also some used this page, that's why it's set up. you will continue to be that pleasant memory in our hearts until we meet again.......

It's been 7 yrs, wow. Just remembering another friend on my birthday and looked up your book. So many thus far, guide our other family members, hope you're keeping time with my Mom, the Grandparents, Rekia, Cornelius, Uncle Bobby etc. Missing everyone.................

WAZZUP CUZ,,,DO U REMEMBER THIS,,,,DO U REMEMBER WHEN CORTEZ THREW UP ALL IN YOUR CAR AT THE COMEDY SHOW,,,TALKING BOUT IT'S MY BIRTHDAY,,WOW,,,,AND I,,,NO-ONE ELSE CLEANED IT ALL UP.

Wow, folks are leaving here and others want to send messages in your honor, had me worried about how to pull up this page which was sponsored so that we could vent whenever. Your Birthday on this earth will be coming soon and believe it or not my girls still ask about you in memory. You will always have a special place in my heart. Missing you but pushing on One Day At A Time.

Hey cuz, I have been extremely humbled in the last four years of my life. God as well as life is teaching me some extremely valuable lessons, never take anything or anyone for granted, cause just like they appear, they can dissppear just as quickly. I love u and miss u dearly,R.I.P.

Death, be not proud

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

By John Donne
The Poetry Foundation

Hey Cuz, well last Thursday, another icon passed. Michael Jackson, imagine that. I know we're all born to die, but sometimes it's still more shocking than at others. Time is so valuable. Talk to you later, luv u much, T.A.

Happy Birthday to your Precious Memory Dear Tracy. You are thought of often around 9021. I had no idea what an impression you had made with my girls. I think you would be very happy and probably shocked at the things they remember concerning their interactions with you. It's all good.

May your spirit continue to rest in PEACE. Love Always,
Sherry Ann

Love you

Brother Trae,

It was good to feel your spirit this morning while I was working out. It was good to share a laugh about that stale joke about the ice cream running down your arm. LOL! I know I need to get over to the crib to check on Mom's. No EXCUSE! Well next week is homecoming and the Nupes are planning to invade and take over the town. I have one request for you, make sure everybody who makes the journey, makes it back safely. YO!

Tracy, Tracy, Tracy,
It has been over two years since you left us. Man, how this time has flown by. So much has happened in this time span. I just visited Eddie's guest book, so I would be remissed not to visit yours before I turn in. I did'nt know I had so many pictures of you. What great memories. May your spirit also remain Blessed as you watch over US down here.

See you when I get there,
Your Cousin,
Sherry Ann

Uncle Tracy, today I have to talk like you for a change. I remember when I was little you would always say," Why Leslie? Why?" Today I have to say, "Why Uncle Tracy? Why?"

Last night I had a dream about you. I had a dream that I was standing outside my gma's house talking to a couple of my friends, and you pulled up in a black truck. You got out, walked to us and began talking. I told you that I needed to talk yo you, so we walked around London Town discussing my future plans and why you had to leave us. You told me that you couldn't be gone because you were right in front of me and plus that you were in my heart. The dream sounds perfect, but I didn't get to talk to you like I wanted to. Did you do this purposely? Was this a sign telling me that everything I am doing is good? Why Uncle Tracy Why? After my dream, Im kinda lost, but at the same time I feel perfect! What to do? Please just stay in my heart...Never leave and I will do everything that I promised to you!
I love you, Leslie

TRA WAT A SHOW THANKS FOR GIVEN ME THE COURAGE TO BE ME.I FELT YA,PEACE.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRACY

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY,,,,,LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TJ.FIRST FATHERS DAY IVE MISSED AT CHURCH IN A LONG TIME,WELL YOU KNOW I ALWAYS WIN FOR YOUNGEST FATHER ,WHY DID WE EVER THINK THAT WOULD CHANGE LOL.

Happy father's day Tracy:) Love Ya!

Patty

Hi tra did you see tiger to day the boy can play almost as good as you and eddie ha ha happy father day love uncle daddy and aunt marlene

Happy Father's Day! I know that you are having a good day...

Tra, I miss you man! I think about you every day. Sometimes I still play that long ride home in my head, praying to God to not let what everyone was calling me about was true. It still does not seem right. It feels like I can call you and you will pick up phone. We are getting better though. Mom,Brian and Ray are handling things good. Your birthdays are always hard to handle, but we get thru it. We really miss you Tra! Gotta go. You know Y. Love you!!!

Well Tracy I know that I have not writtten to you in a minute but I have been going through somethings down here on earth (just ask Eddie he knows). I think about you constantly and now even more than ever since you have my Honey up there to kick it with and I am left down here with just the memories of you two. 2 years ago we were such a happy family who was not prepared for what the future held for us (didn't we get a big wake up call) who knew that we had mere mortals amongest us? No one could have paid me to believe that I would not only be grieving for my cousin but 2 short years later I would be grieving for my husband (it just ain't right). My heart literally hurts from missing the two of you. I have so many wonderful memories but not having you here is so very painful. I know that you and Eddie are up there having a wonderful time golfing, cooking, looking down on us and shaking your heads (wanting to smack some since into a couple of us not mentioning any names Tanya:) We all know by now that life is so short and that tomorrow is not promised to us so I think that most of us are trying to live each day to its fullest. Tracy tell Eddie for me that I am going to soon snap out of what ever this state is that I am in and that I am going to be alright. If he hears it from you he may believe me when I tell him. Tell My grandmother Martina, Granddaddy, Al, Uncle Billy, Uncle Gilbert, Aunt Helen, Cousins Jimmy Freddie and Octavia I said Hi i miss them all and love them all. P.S. Give Eddie a big Hug and Kiss for me. Love you much!

Wats up unc?!! A couple of days ago I was talkin to grandma & she asked me," why do ya'll write in this book?" Well, I replied, "for me its a way to release my mind as if you were here." Its been exactly 2 years (I know Im a couple of days late) and its still as hard as it was 2 years ago! Man I miss u so much!! At this point in my life I just want to talk to someone who I kno can help me succeed. When I was little you always told Kay & I how to use proper language & etc. back then I was jus like. "ok Uncle Tracy dang Im only 10!!" And u always told me, well when u get older u are gonna need this so be grateful! Now when I sit here in my college English classes, I automatically think about u. oh by the way no, Im not in college, YET!! I jus take college courses so that I can be as smart as you and "challenge" my Dad in Physics! LOL. Well now I gotta go, I jus wanted to release some steam! I love you and I miss you always!
Les

Love and Miss you Tracy:)
Monica (Kay-Kay)

Tracy!!!!!

Ima day late and a dollar short!!!! I miss you so much and you stay our minds always.

Shanda

wat up tre ?first of all im not crazy they keep saying sams going to be alright,lol hahaha.im good cuz just living .holla later peace.p.s send me a new job hahahahah.

Wazzup cuz, well today makes it two years to date that you were abruptly taken away from us mere mortals and begin your journey into everlasting life. Do you remember when Thriller first came out? You, Brian, Auntie and I used to watch the videos. I don't know why I thought about that, but I did. Remember when You, Maurice and I went to Harlem High School to apply for a summer job CETA? Man I really miss you, this mess is still rather hard to accept. You know, we love u but GOD loves u best. This is gonna trip u out,,,,,,I saw u Sunday June 1, 2008 at the house. I saw the shadow of your head go from the kithen to the dining room. You remember how u used to play peek-a-boo with people? That's what u were doing Sunday. Maxie was like "what's wrong", I said, "I just saw Tracy's shadow", she said " oh,I see him all the time,,,and then we laughed. Well I just had to make sure I talked to you today. It's gettin late. Oh, yeah Sam will be just fine. I'll talk to you again soon, Love ya.

WAT UP TRE? I FIND MYSELF THINKN ABOUT YOU MORE AN MORE
EVERY DAY.WOW WAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE ME IF YOU WERE HERE.ILL NEVER KNOW .BUT U BETTER BELIEVE I WANT LEAVE HERE
UN HAPPY.HOLLA LATER.

Tracy,Tracy,Tracy,
Two years ago at Joy's was the last time I saw you alive. We talked about your future plans that have not yet become a reality. I say not yet because Maurice has thge awesome responsibility to make some of you plans a reality as your spirit lives on through him. I know he can do it ,with the grace of GOD. This time has moved so fast it's hard still now to believe that you have moved on. You and Eddie have left such wonderful legacies and memories for our families to cherish. I only hope that as you look down on us you are just as proud as we are of you. May GOD continue to bless your memory and all of your family until we are all together again.

Hey Tra!!!!!

Thinking of you on this memorial day and wondering what u and Ed are up too :). Don't worry about BigSam...he'll be ok... love you and always thinking of you.

Well, it's time to vent again. GOD has decided to pluck another flower from our garden of COUSINS. I know that you and Eddie have reunited by now. GOD'S will is so very awesome he has a plan for each of us to follow with no regrets and no turning back. I am so glad that he allowed me the opportunity to set up this outlet through the Tribune Guestbook so that all of our family members could if they choose relate to you and others as they reach the other side. Or as Aunt Marlene very often says " My GOD in HEAVEN" You guys enjoy your reunion, We will meet you one day, only our Heavenly Father knows when that day will be. Much Love to Tracy and Red.
Always and Forever,
Sherry Ann

Eddie and Monica at Thanksgiving Dinner 2007

Here's a pic of me and Ed at the thanksgiving dinner 2007

Hey Tracy, I hope you were standing at the gate today to welcome Eddie. Of course we did not want to let him go , but you know, God's will and all, we had no choice:)It's so hard to let a loved one go, we miss you all so much. Please tell my brother I love him and thanks for being a good one. This really hurts, but I know God had this planned all along and I can't do anything but thank him for the time we had together. He blessed us by making us all family and that is truly a gift. Love you both and see ya when I see ya. Special Kay

Hey Unc,
I can't believe that it has almost been 2 years! But anyway, Will finally did what he promised you, He graduated from college! Now all he has to do is go get that BA and start making money like what you were about to do! I was just thinking about you, and letting you know that I love ya!
Your fav 1st niece, Les

oh yea did i tell u im a freshman in college soon to be a somphmore takin up pre-med.....lol

Hey Tra, today is my birthday and I can hear you saying "Happy Birthday KayKay", I've been thinking about you alot lately. You know what I did? I found both your movies on amazon.com and bought them:) I did not have a copy of either one. (I know, I can't believe I did not own a copy of Ferris Buellers Day off either:) The kids can't wait to watch it with me. OMG TRA, I'm 41 today, I thank God for another year and I thank him for all the years we had you here with us. We all love and miss you. It's still unreal that you completed your task in this world at such a young age. Until next time, Kay

Hey cuz
You've crossed my mind so many times. The feelings that often come to mind is the warmth and kindness that you exude....that seem to be your calling card. It's still mind blowing that you are not with us. However, I have no doubt that folks in heaven are enjoying you as we did :-)) Sending you a BIG HUG.

Lisa G.

Wazzup cuz, I have really been having a hard time dealing without you. I have just about completely lost my mind. I've been on a suicide mission ever since you went home, trying to deal.We had some real funny times together and shared some funny moments.I miss you telling me how comedic I am. No-one else seems to think I'm funny.(hahaha). Remember when you, Sam and I went to Sharon's Father's Day party and you and Sam poured that corn liquor in the plants? That was hilarious.Remember when you wore that little bitty a$$ shirt to the comedy show, you asked me how did u look, I said, "you straight". Then everybody that saw you in that shirt was like, dude, why do you have your little nephew shirt on? We cracked up. :),,,Well, it's time for me to get it together since it's obvious you're not coming back anytime soon. I REALLY MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU MUCH, your big little cousin, Tanya

I did it Tra! I got the shows back going. It was a little difficult at first but yo' boy Jay and Pepe got me thru a rough 5mins. I'll tell you, it is hard not having you there so that we can bouce ideas off of each other, but i know you would nt leave me alone. Thanks for helping me out. I miss you dude!

Hey Tra!
Saturday was a good comedy show. You were there because Maurice had a picture of you right up front. It was hard not seeing you behind the camera, but in spirit you were right there next to all of us. Guess what, we all were on your time... Tra time. ha ha. I love you and miss you much.
Michelle J.

August 30th and school is about to began for CPS. I can see you now getting parents involved with physicals for their children. Your daughter was a guest soloist at St. Mary this past weekend. She did a pretty good job. I guess as the holidays began to roll around more family members will utilize this site, that's why we maintained it so that all would be able to touch bases with your spirit. I know that everyone has his/her own way of dealing with losing you so soon. But I also know that everything happens for a reason and that you are OK.
Just wanted to chat for a minute.
Peace Out.
Sherry Ann

Happy Birthday Tracy!!! We will celebrate your life today 6-21-07. I'm sitting here talking with your Mom sharing some memories with her.
It still hurts to know that we will not be able to speak to you in person, but in spirit I'm sure many of us speak to you often. Thanks again for just being you.
Love always, Sherry Ann

Happy Birthday! 40 - I know we would have been partying hard with you this weekend! I miss you! Hope you are having fun with Granddad since you both had bdays this month. I will write again soon...love you still - tell everybody hi from me :)

My
Dear little Cousin. It has been one year since your body left us, but
your spirit is ever present. I think I can quote for many family
members that we do miss you very much. Words cannot even began to
express how each of us deal with losing you so soon. Just for me I
continue to live life "one day at a time" I also remember to try to
teach the little ones around me to be grateful for every day. Tracy we
had some meaningful conversations that are embedded within my soul.
Keep the angels smiling..... Until next time.... RIP....
Love always,

Hey Tra!
It has been so hard not having you around to make faces at me. Today makes a year and it is as hard today as it was a year ago. I miss you so much. We look at your picture that is by the bed everyday. You are still around. I am still pushing Maurice to keep the comedy going, we are almost there!

Love ya,

Just looking at your face and thinking of you. I miss you!

Hey Tracy! We were sitting talking about him. Your momma still got your last message on her phone. We miss you sooooo much. I still think that I am going to see you. IT IS STILL HARD TO BELIEVE THAT I WON'T SEE YOU UNTIL... I LOVE YOU AND WILL SEE YOU AGAIN!

Tracy, it's funny I was thinking about you today, then I got this email to write to you. God surly knows how to keep us in touch. I love you and miss you dearly. May God continue to keep you in my thoughts until we meet again.
Your sister/cousin Kay Kay

HEY TRACY BABY
I'll never forget when you pulled me up the hill and out of the woods at camp. I see you everyday on my wall of fame. LUV SUGG.

Well Tracy it has almost been 1 year since you left us and the hurt is still the same. I find myself thinking about you often especially at church when Maurice goes up to alter call (I told him to stay in his seat). Your presence is so strong and you better believe it can be felt by everyone who knew you. I miss you and I will continue to honor your memory.

Love you,

Patty

Just sitting here thinking about you and your jokes. I will hopefully reach another Birthday on Monday so I choose to extend a present to your honor forever and a day. It's the least I could do for your Precious Memory.
Your Cousin , Sherry Ann

Hey Tra'!!
I heard your song on the radio (Smooth Operator) and all I could do was think of the joke that you told with this song. It still makes me laugh because I found myself doing just that!! I miss you much and I wish that we still had some more time with you. I think of all your funny ways and it seems to help me through the tough days, that we call Tra' moments. I love you.
Missing you!

Hey Tra! It has taken a while to write you this without tearing up and it is still hard. I want you to know that I miss you dearly. I guess I will remain the champ in Pac-Man with the score of 54,600. I love you and see you when I see you.
Missing you!
Your sister-n-Law

Well,
I'm home now. The Comedy show in your honor was a huge success. TRACY
you would have been so proud of your stage family. They were awesome.
You would have been equally proud of MAXI, she represented with
true undying love and affection. Your MOM was also a real trooper. Life
won't be the same without you,and you know what some of your cousins
still look for you as if you were still here. Well you are...In our
hearts, minds, souls and on our tee-shirts (smile) REST IN PEACE DEAR
COUSIN, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
Love Ya, Sherry Ann

We will be honoring you(TRACY)tonight. Hopefully this will become an annual event. Not that we did'nt have reasons to get together as a family already. Your life,spirit,and memory are blessings that shall be cherised for many years to come. Thanks...........

Just a reminder that you brought a whole lot of joy and laughter to me and my wife and making us feel and be apart of your family..., thank you and our love and prayers goes out to the Jones family.

Well Trae it has been difficult the last couple of months knowing I cannot call or see you living the life GOD wants us ALL to lead. However, I am stronger than ever because I was blessed to have such a true brother/friend the last 15 years of my life. I am praying that my own daughter will possess the strength and wisdom that Kayla currently demonstrates at such a young age. I never got a chance to tell you this but when my daughter was born, I had a vision that she would be the first black American president...I might have to settle for second. :) Rest my brother, your work here will continue on.



"WE ARE ALL MEN HERE!"

Hey Cuz,



Thanks for the visit the other day. It was great seeing you and laughing in my dreams. It was like you never left. :-)

Rest in peace Tre', gone but never forgotton, love always, your biggest fan, Sam.

My cousin Tracy, you will be missed extensively for your humor as well as your passionate consideration for all individuals. I've learned a lot from you about patience and tolerance. Hope to see u again because I know you're in HEAVEN making everyone laugh. I LOVE YOU CUZ, oh yeah, your joke was a hit at the funeral.Thanks for always being true to yourself.

Still in disbelief, still in shock. I will miss the intellectually stimulating discussions we would have on politics, books to be read and the state of Black america. We are blessed to have had you as a friend and family member.

Love always, Jazzz.

Tracy, I miss you! I know that your time was short here with us, but you did so much and touched so many people during your journey and we miss you. I know that I will see you again and you will have plenty of new jokes. I love you!

Tracy, you will always be remembered for your warm and kind personality. The world is at a loss of such a wonderful and talented person. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. You will truly be missed.

Tracy, You will be truly missed by your Milwaukee friends.

Only Gods knows why someone as sweet as you was taken away from us.

I always looked forward to seeing your pretty smile. Know that my family is praying for your family in it's hour of need.And, Know that God will carry you through this difficult time. For weeping is but fore a night but, Joy comes in the Morning.
