Ryan Christopher Tracy left us suddenly on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, and we will miss him terribly.
A gentle soul with a wry sense of humor, Ryan spread community and friendship with every fist-bump and smile. Ryan was due to graduate from Union Pines High School in June of 2024, and we are so grateful to all the teachers, administrators, staff, counselors and others who helped him along the way.
Ryan was employed at the Piggly Wiggly, in Vass, since 2022, and enjoyed earning his own spending money, making friends and helping customers. After graduation, Ryan looked forward to summer travels, picking up more hours, investigating Sandhills Community College, and moving toward getting his own place.
Ryan is survived by his mother, Kate Almy Bonsal and her partner, Lauren Mathers; his father, Todd Christopher Tracy; siblings, Zane Alexander Bonsal and Felix Moore Tracy; grandmother, Jollyn D. Erickson; grandparents, Robert and Elizabeth Newlin; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and local friends.
He was predeceased by his grandparents, William Bonsal, Patricia Bonsal and Walter Christopher Tracy.
Thank you to the people and organizations throughout Moore County who made his 19 years joyful, enriching and precious.
