William Lee "Bill" Tracy

William Lee “Bill” Tracy, 79, of Ashburn, Georgia, passed away at his residence on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

Bill was born in Vermont on September 20, 1947, to the late Gerald and Dorothy Tracy. He was a self-employed mechanic, a proud member of High Hill Baptist Church, an avid motorcycle enthusiast, and an ordained minister.

Bill lived a life rooted in faith, kindness, and a genuine love for others. His ministry was very dear to his heart, and he never missed an opportunity to share his faith or offer a helping hand. He had a servant's heart and found joy in being there for others, often giving of himself without expecting anything in return.

He enjoyed the freedom of riding motorcycles alongside his friends, but his greatest joy was found in the time he spent with his family. Above all else, Bill loved his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The memories made, the time shared, and the love he poured into each of them will forever remain a treasured part of his legacy.

Bill's life was a testimony of faith, family, friendship, and service. Though his earthly journey has come to an end, the lessons he taught, the lives he touched, and the love he shared will continue to live on through the many people blessed to have known him.

He leaves behind a loving family who will cherish his memory, including his children, Robert (Courtney) Allen of Tallahassee, Jessica (Clay) Gravitt of Rebecca, and Crystal (Paul) Reid of Ashburn; grandchildren, Billy (Whitney) Tracy, Jacob Gravitt, Dylan Gravitt, Mary Grace Gravitt, Peyton Allen, Parker Allen, Lane (Tucker) Fiveash, Wraylan Reid, and Coy Reid; great-grandchildren, Halston Gravitt, Grayson Tracy, and Hank Fiveash; and two sisters.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Billy Tracy.

Though we cannot walk beside him anymore, we can carry his love, his faith, and his memories with us every day. His earthly work is finished, but the legacy he leaves behind will never fade.

Funeral services will be held Monday, November 16, 2026, at 11:00 AM at High Hill Baptist Church, with interment to follow at Rose Hill Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM at Perry Funeral Chapel.
