Tracy J. Johnson

Tracy J. Johnson, 55, of Muncie, IN, passed away unexpectedly in the early morning hours of Wednesday, August 24, 2022 in Fowlerville, MI. He was born on July 21, 1967 in Crawfordsville, IN. Tracy was the youngest of 6 children raised by their loving parents Hildreth and Opal (Skaggs) Johnson also of Muncie. Daddy was raised on the Southside of town and attended Muncie schools. During his youth he loved riding his bike all over town, playing basketball at the Ross Center and hanging out with friends. A couple of dad’s first jobs were delivering newspapers and working at Gomel’s Grocery store where he bagged groceries. At the age of 18, Tracy met his first true love Cora West and married her. Together they had 4 beautiful children Julie, Justin, Justina and Jannel. Daddy had to grow up quick and he learned early on that he had to work hard to provide for his growing family. Tracy started roofing with his brother in law, Vince West, learning everything he could about roofing from him. Roofing wasn’t an easy job. He would wake up early in the morning and most days work until dark. Dad’s hard work and love of roofing later inspired him to start his own business called TnT Exteriors. After starting his own business he quickly picked up on other trade skills that included framing, siding, metal and rubber roofing. Dad had great pride in his work and would often brag that he could build a house from the ground up. Tracy enjoyed living life to its fullest and loved to make people laugh. After his separation from Cora in 1999, he later met several other lady friends that he loved as well. Tracy loved to travel outside of town for work and pleasure. He enjoyed being outdoors camping, fishing, trapping critters, mushroom hunting and riding roller coasters. Tracy loved going to casinos and had a few good and not so good stories to share about them. He had a huge heart for his family. Daddy was a very prideful man. You would often see him crying and smiling at the same time when he spoke of his loved ones. Those left to honor and cherish his memory include his four children: Julie (Justin) Green of Muncie; Justin (Ashley) Johnson of Farmland; Justina (Joshua) Pfeffer of Alexandria; Jannel (BJ) Johnson of Muncie; 14 beautiful grandbabies that he adored, Madison, Miley, Ethan, Chase, Haylee, Hayden, Oakley Marleigh, Alaina, Ariel, Marissa, Bryce, Wyatt and little Ivy whom is due any day now; five siblings, Janet Thompson of Muncie, Betty (Foster) Deckard of Muncie, Steve (Patty) Johnson of Michigan, and Donald Johnson of Muncie.
