Tracy W. Brown

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Tracy W. Brown, who left this world on August 27, 2025, at his home in Belchertown, Massachusetts. Born on December 6, 1954, in Palmer, Massachusetts, he was the son of Kenneth and Maureen (Lafond) Brown. 

He is survived by his son Christopher Brown "the boy" and his wife Lisa, along with his two stepchildren, Edmund Fournier "Edjew" and Melissa Rex. He also leaves behind his four siblings: Meredith Normandeau, Esther Legere, Thomas Brown "Bullhead", and David Brown, all of whom will remember him fondly. He is proceeded by his brother Kevin Brown "KB" and nephew Little Bullhead. 

A lifelong resident of Belchertown, Tracy graduated from Belchertown High School in 1972, where he was a member of the basketball team. His career as a mechanic spanned over 50 years, retiring after 20 years from Plastic Packaging Corp.

Tracy had a variety of interests that brought him joy. He was a passionate fan of drinking beer, the Dallas Cowboys (even though they stink) and college basketball, taking every opportunity to support his teams. He looked forward to his yearly gatherings to celebrate the 3 horse races, especially the Kentucky Derby and the Superbowl. He found peace in fishing and caring for his pet goats Luke & Minnie, which he tended to with love, as well as his fish tank.
