Tracy Allen Howell, 62, of Leoma, TN, passed away October 7, 2026. Tracy was born August 25, 1964 in Lawrenceburg, TN to Joyce and Arley Howell. Tracy grew up in Five Points, TN and often spent his childhood and teenage years spending time outdoors and getting into mischief with his best friends and his big brother Jeff. He graduated from Loretto High School in 1982 and went on to serve 11 years in the United States Navy. Tracy enjoyed his time serving on the USS Midway where he met some of his very best friends and shipmates that he would continue to reminisce and talk about for the rest of his life. While in service, Tracy met the love of his life and wife for 39 years, Liza. They were married on September 11, 1987 and raised their four daughters together in Centerpoint in the home he expanded with his two hands. Tracy was a loving and hardworking man. He spent his entire life devoted to taking care of his wife and children who were undoubtedly his entire world. Tracy had a passion for music, especially classic rock. He loved beautiful, breezy afternoons in the yard he grew up in, perfect for grilling and surrounded by his dear family. Tracy was best known for his joy and big sense of humor, his generosity as a helping hand to others when needed, and his loyalty and devotion to his family. He upheld his best traits until his very last breath. Our hero hung up his cape and entered eternal peace on October 7, 2026. He was preceded in death by his mom Joyce McDow Howell, his father James Arley Howell, and his step-mother Mable Jewell Howell.
