Tracy Brooks

April 16, 1971 - June 8, 2021

Tracy Lynn (Carr) Brooks, 50, of Kansas City, met Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Tuesday, June 8th, 2021. Tracy was born on April 16th, 1971 to Robert Carr and Linda Smith Carr in Balboa, Panama, where Robert was stationed in the USAF. Tracy later relocated to Jacksonville, Florida with her family where she graduated from Englewood High School in 1989. She was a longtime bartender and server in the Jacksonville and Kansas City area. In 2005 she found herself living in Kansas City but, yearned to be near the beach and ocean again. Oh.. and the boiled peanuts... she LOVED fresh boiled peanuts. Tracy was the mother of 3 beautiful children, Zackary, Sydney, and Emily, who she loved and cared for and will continue to do so through the Grace of God's Hand. While she enjoyed her time with her grandsons, Waylon and Damien, she also enjoyed spending quality time with her loving partner of 11 years, Reed, and their dog Evey. Some of her favorite activities were knitting, decorating, cooking, vacationing, dancing, and concerting. Tracy's favorite pastimes were watching court TV, emergency room dramas, and RE-watching Grease, Dirty Dancing, and Urban Cowboy, which surely drove Reed insane at times. Some days she'd sit at the kitchen window, watching the bunnies and the squirrels, while daydreaming about Krystal burgers, but mostly she spent her life enjoying everything at its finest detail. Even afterlife, she will be remembered as a genuine soul who always had a bigger-than-life heart and a keen sense of the smaller, often unnoticed things of life. The ones which make you wonder if there is anything more important than being in the right here and right now because you never know what's going to come next. She'll be remembered as a kind and loving, free-spirited, and strong-willed woman. Her memory remains through our tears and through our memories, we look forward to being greeted with the same smile she left us with here on earth. Tracy leaves behind her three loving children Zackary Brooks of Kansas City, Sydney Brooks of Jacksonville, FL, Emily Buckley-May (Tyler Dunkley) of Jacksonville, FL; Sister, Lisa May (Jay) of Jacksonville, FL; Grandchildren, Waylon Brooks of Kansas City and Damien O'Neil of Jacksonville, FL; Nieces, Lindsey Kinard (Kyle) and Courtney May, and Great Niece, Ellie Kinard all of Jacksonville, FL; Partner, Reed Hurkman of Kansas City, MO, and all of her closest and dearest friends. The family extends their sincere gratitude to Father Richard Storey for his blessings and prayers upon Tracy and the exceptional and caring staff at St. Luke's Hospice House. The Tender Loving Care she received during her transition was unparalleled beyond her maiden initials, TLC. Private family services will be held at a later date.
