Tracy Michael Turner

It is with profound sadness and heartfelt love that we announce the passing of Tracy Michael Turner. A beloved husband, father, and son, Tracy passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday morning, June 24, 2026, at the age of 49, surrounded by his family.

Tracy was born on January 6, 1977, in Rochester, Michigan, to Keith T. and Donna R. (Trombley) Turner. He graduated from Stevenson High School in 1995 before continuing his education at Macomb Community College and Oakland University, where he earned a degree in graphic design. Throughout his career in multimedia design, Tracy distinguished himself as a leader, mentor, and consultant, earning the deep respect and admiration of his colleagues.

Known for his quick wit and sharp sense of humor, Tracy always had a dad joke ready and delighted in making people laugh—especially his son. He had a kind, disarming presence that immediately put others at ease. Patient and generous with his talents, Tracy loved sharing the things that brought him joy, whether helping his son practice guitar chords or teaching his wife how to ride a motorcycle.

A deeply creative soul, Tracy expressed his artistry and mechanical talents in countless ways. Whether he was playing guitar, building woodworking projects, or restoring his Mustang in the garage, he found immense satisfaction in creating and working with his hands. Having grown up riding dirt bikes, Tracy had an adventurous spirit and embraced an active outdoor lifestyle. He enjoyed camping with his family, taking motorcycle trips, paddleboarding, surfing, skiing, and rock climbing. Above all, Tracy was a fiercely loyal and devoted husband and father who cherished every moment spent with his family. His greatest joy was simply being with those he loved.

Tracy is survived by his wife, Jennifer Sanders-Turner; his son, Dillon Turner (and Dillon's mother, Jill Remisoski); his father, Keith (Barbara) Turner; his mother, Donna (Glenn) Parker; his siblings, Shaun (Michelle) Turner, Brandon Parker, Justin (Leana) Parker, Laura Parker, Jennifer (Dean) Poster, and Christopher Bresnahan. He also leaves behind his nieces, Emma (Caleb) and Theresa; his nephews, Derek, Brandon (Sarah), and Chad; and many loving cousins.
