Tracy Roberts (2005)
Posted on August 22, 2005, under General.
Tracy Roberts died this weekend. He was a teammate of mine on the trip to El Salvador this year. I really enjoyed getting to know him. He had a heart that cared for others, and had a wonderfully contagious laugh. He was in the Big Brother program, as well as being involved in an International Students ministry. He had taken his Little Brother and two international students out to a lake-side cabin for the weekend to teach them how to fish. He drowned as he was trying to fix the engine on the boat. He died while loving others. That’s the Tracy I got to know this summer.

Hello —
First of all, I’m sorry to hear about your friends death.
I have been searching for someone I knew as a child by the name Tracy Roberts. He also had red hair. This man would have been about 47 or 48 this year. How old was your friend when he passed away?
I hope this doesn’t sound crass…it is just very important for me to know.
Thank you!

Rachel,
I believe the Tracy Roberts in my post would have been about that age. I know he was older than he looked, and if I remember right, he was getting close to 50.
