Tracy Allen Dye, at the all too young age of 53, departed this world in the early hours of Friday, April 19, 2024 from Sanctuary Hospice House in Tupelo. Tracy was born on May 19, 1970 in Tupelo to the late Jerry Dye and Carol Allen Dye, who survives. Tracy revered his family and had a wide circle of friends whom he loved all his life. He spent many years of his life working in logistics for the trucking industry. In 2020, he and his wife, Kristie, purchased Kim’s Place in Nettleton and renamed the restaurant Dye’s Good Eats. He loved owning the restaurant and enjoyed his customers thoroughly. Always full of adventure and the life of the party, Tracy enjoyed anything outdoors and was a great fan of water sports including canoeing, fishing, kayaking, boating and skiing. He loved cooking, good food and good people. For years, Tracy enjoyed flying his powered parachute and flying on planes in general. He dearly loved his chocolate lab, Ruby Jane.
