Funeral Services for Ridley “Tracy” Blaylock, age 63, of Crossville, Tennessee, will be conducted on Friday, May 22, 2026, at 11:00 AM from The Chapel of Goff Funeral Home. Bro. Mike Kirby will officiate with interment to follow in the Love Joy Cemetery. Tracy’s life journey began on Friday, May 3, 1963, in Monterey, Tennessee, when he was born to his loving parents, Ridley and Peggy (Hassler) Blaylock. Throughout his life, Tracy remained a quiet soul who truly knew how to live life on his own terms. He never sought attention or recognition, but those who knew him understood the depth of his heart and the steady loyalty he carried for the people he loved. Tracy found joy in the simple things that made him happy. He loved fast cars- especially Mopars – motorcycles, music, and anything mechanical that he could tinker with or admire. Much of his life was spent in the Glade Creek community, where he lived quietly, bothering no one, simply watching life unfold around him. Though quiet by nature, he was a constant and dependable supporter of his family and friends. He deeply appreciated those who reached out to him and formed genuine connections with the people who took the time to know him. Those closest to Tracy often felt that he never truly realized how much he was loved or how deserving he was of that love. Yet, to the many people whose lives he touched, his presence meant more than words could express. If someone called on him, he was there. Whatever he was doing, he gave it his full effort and his whole heart. That quiet strength and unwavering loyalty defined the kind of man he was. Tracy leaves behind his loving parents, his son: Tracy Micheal Blaylock, and his daughter: Harlie Blaylock Loyd; his grandchildren: Michael, Alora, Sylvia, and Jessi; his brother: Mike (Kim) Blaylock; and his sister: Penny (Johnny) Bowman. He also leaves behind a host of nieces and nephews who admired his quiet, rebel spirit, along with many special friends and loved ones who have lost a good man and a faithful friend. Though Tracy lived a quiet life, the love he leaves behind speaks loudly. He will be remembered for his independence, his gentle heart, his loyalty, and the simple way he embraced life. The family will receive friends at Goff Funeral Home on Thursday, May 21, 2026, from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM. Arrangements and Care provided by D.M.
