Tracy Kevin Brazier, age 57 of Whitwell was called home on Thursday, January 1. Born on August 31, 1968, he was the beloved son of O. B. Vince Brazier and Shelby Smith Brazier. Tracy worked as a driller for Tri State Testing & Drilling, where he was known for his dedication, strong work ethic, and commitment to doing every job well.

He leaves behind a legacy of love, hard work, and devotion that will be forever treasured.
