Tracy Don Willson, 65, passed away peacefully on May 13, 2026. His passing came as an unexpected shock to those who loved him, but he left this world surrounded by the love and memories of family and friends.

Tracy was born on June 8, 1960, in Borger, TX to Bennie and Faye Willson. Before starting school, his family moved to Conway Springs, where he would build lifelong roots and connections. He graduated from Conway Springs High School in 1978.

Following graduation, Tracy immediately entered the workforce as a machinist with Boeing, where he formed many lifelong friendships. He enjoyed participating in softball, bowling, and pool leagues and was a proud and dedicated union member throughout his career. Later, he worked for Cox Machine, Inc. in Harper before retiring.

On January 31, 1981, Tracy married the love of his life, Terri Herr. Together they made their home in Wichita before returning to Conway Springs to raise their family. Together they welcomed three children: Christopher, Craig, and Crystal. Terri preceded him in death in 2019, a loss Tracy carried deeply.

On June 15, 2024, Tracy married Carla May, and together they lovingly created their own version of the "Brady Bunch," blending families and making new memories together.

Tracy will be deeply missed by his children, Christopher Willson of Papillion, NE. Craig Willson and Crystal (Barton) Hedrick of Conway Springs, KS. His Bonus children Shawn, Kirstin (Kasey), and Mary; his grandchildren Christian (Kara), Creighon, Madelyn, Creyson, Chesney, Ryder, Emilee.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bennie and Faye Willson; his sister, Connie Keeth; and his soulmate, Terri Willson.

Tracy will be remembered for his strong work ethic, loyalty to family and friends, sense of humor, love for music, the Kansas City Chiefs and the pride he took in the life he built. His memory will live on through the many people who loved him.
