Tracy Arie

Tracy Lee Arie, age 53, of Caddo Mills, Texas, passed away peacefully at his home on August 3, 2025. Born on September 27, 1971, in Garland, Texas, Tracy lived a life marked by love, service, and joy.

A graduate of Seagoville High School, Tracy built a dedicated career as a Pipefitter Journeyman in the construction industry. Known for his strong work ethic and craftsmanship, he also had a gift for building things with wood, creating both practical pieces and treasured memories for those around him.

Tracy’s heart for people was evident in everything he did. With a caring spirit and a servant’s heart, he found joy in helping others, whether through his church, on mission trips, or simply by making someone smile. His fun-loving nature and laughter were gifts to all who knew him.

In 2020, during the pandemic, Tracy reconnected online with his high school sweetheart, Michelle. Their love story blossomed into a beautiful five-year journey filled with laughter, adventure, and deep connection. They were married on a special day—Tuesday, 2/22/22—a symbol of their enduring bond.

Tracy loved spending time outdoors, especially floating the river or enjoying the ocean’s peaceful beauty. He found joy in music, fishing, reading, traveling, and woodworking—always with friends or family close by.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Michelle Arie; brothers Kevin Brayson and Robert Williford; sister Angela Price; granddaughter Kaela Beckwith; grandson Mason Beckwith; nephew Robby Cauthron; niece Madison Brayson; nephews Michael Price, Sean Price, and Kamron Brayson; and his dear aunt, Judy Terry.

Tracy was preceded in death by his parents, Bob and Sandra Arie; grandparents Gilbert and Mildred Arie and Earl and Vera Teel.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at 10:30 AM in the Small Chapel of Lakepointe Church, Rockwall, TX.

Tracy will be remembered for his kind heart, joyful spirit, and unwavering love for those around him. He leaves behind a legacy of laughter, faith, and service that will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know him.
