Patrick C. Tracy

He was born on January 17, 1968, in Ishpeming, MI and was a graduate of Negaunee High School. Patrick joined the Navy right after high school, serving for 10 years. He then moved to Wisconsin and then Virginia, working various jobs. Eventually he found his way back home to the U.P. where he was recently employed at Envoy at the time of his passing.

Patrick was a gentle soul and adored his grandchildren. When he wasn’t working, you could find him by the water fishing. He always came back with crazy fish tales. He could always tell a good story. Patrick was also an elder at Victory Lutheran Church and was a staunch Christian.

He is survived by his wife, Tammy; sons, John and Jacob; daughters, Rebekah, Amanda, Kayla and Cheyenne; grandchildren, Noah, Riley, Kiya and Hadleigh; his mother, Sheryl Stiemke; brothers, Chris (Sharon) Tracy and Brett Tracy; step-brothers, Scott, Nathan and Kurt Stiemke; special uncle, Francis Keni; and several nieces, nephews and good friends.

Patrick was preceded in death by his father, Jack Anderson; step-father, Gus Stiemke; brother, Sean; and step-brother, Randy Stiemke.

Due to the ongoing covid pandemic, there will be a memorial service held at a later date.
