Tracy, a man of few words, would help anyone in need. His passion was hunting, fishing, and embracing the outdoors. His gardens and house plants flourished under his care, while his collection of prized trophy mounts reflected his passion for the wilderness. Tracy loved turkey hunting and could often call them to his porch. His cherished deer and elk hunting expeditions, especially with his close friends Ted and Terry, brought him immense fulfillment. He delighted in fishing on Truman Lake and exploring for arrowheads, sharing his expertise proudly with his nephews and others.
Tracy's diverse talents extended to automobile detailing, logging/tree work, and farm/carpentry work.
Preceding him in death were his father, Ernest E. Myers; his grandfather, Theodore Myers; and the love of his life Melissa J. Myers.
Also awaiting his arrival were Melissa Bridges Widmer and Ashley Bridges, his step-sister and step-brother; and his maternal grandparents, Wm E. and Ethel Autry.
Surviving family members include his mother and step-father, Sue and Alvin Bridges ("Pop") of Edwards, Missouri; his beloved brother, Lance D. Long (CJ) of Climax Springs, Missouri; and his caring sister, Carrie Long Carlson of Independence, Missouri. Tracy's favorite nephews are Wesley Biles of Sedalia, Missouri; Cody Carlson (Deidre), of Mead, Oklahoma; William Carlson (Mandy), of Climax Springs, Missouri; and niece Mariah Danforth, of Independence, Missouri. He is also survived by his paternal grandmother, Opal Myers, and uncle Jon Myers of Deepwater, Missouri; aunts Helen (David) Ballard and Terry (Stan) Beemer; along with numerous other cherished family members and friends.
His final wish was to embark on an RV journey to Colorado and witness the mountains one last time. In the last week of February, he fulfilled this dream, relishing the sight of snow-capped peaks and breathtaking landscapes.
Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 P.M. Monday, March 25, 2024 at the Reser Funeral Home in Warsaw. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the funeral from 1:00 until 2:00 PM. A private family interment will follow the funeral at the Harris Bend Cemetery in Deepwater, Missouri.
Tracy will forever remain in our hearts, remembered as our country woodsman at peace.
