He was born on March 17, 1960, in Houston, MS, to Luther Ell “Bully” Whitt and Joyce McQuary Whitt. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Hazel Hare Whitt; his two daughters, Ellen (Tanner) Roberson of Mantee and Anna Leslie (Jay) McKee of Mathiston; and his son, Jackson Whitt of Woodland. Tracy had two granddaughters, Annie James McKee and Mary Ellynn Roberson, who lovingly referred to him as “Pappy.” He is also survived by his mother, Joyce Whitt of Woodland; his sister, Emily (Bill) Peel of Houston; several special aunts and uncles and several nieces and nephews.

Tracy was known for being a good cook and for enjoying conversations with his friends and clients. He could often be found at Mountain Jack’s or Grocer’s Pride. He was an active member of Arbor Grove Baptist Church, where he served several terms as a deacon. He took pleasure in watching Westerns and the Food Network, often finding inspiration for cooking dishes for his family. He graduated from Ole Miss in 1982 and remained a devoted supporter. He was a member of the Houston Exchange Club and enjoyed Friday luncheons with the group. He had fun playing pool in his shop, loved feeding his chickens and caring for his animals, and we often teased him about being the “wedding dancer.” He loved his family dearly, especially his wife, Hazel, who was his best friend. He will be greatly missed.
