My name is Luke Tracey; I'm starting this gofundme for my loving father, Gilbert Tracey. My father went back to Jesus on Wednesday, May 18, 2022, at seventy-four years of age. My father was the most honorable, sincere, caring, kind, genuine and considerate man. My father served in the US Army for six years and is a Vietnam Veteran. He loved God, his family, and this country fiercely. My dad was a welder for over 40 years and taught me to work hard and be an honest man. Unfortunately, losing my dad was very unexpected. My family and I were not prepared for him to leave us as quickly as he did. Please help us lay my father to rest and help his loving wife, my mother, Mary.
