Tracy Josephine McJunkin, sixty-two years old, wife of thirty-three years, mother of nine children, and grandmother to nine grandkids, passed away on March 11, 2024, in her sleep at 6:15 am at Northeast Memorial Herman Hospital in Kingwood, TX, after a long battle with Cancer. Tracy was born on November 13, 1961, to Anthony and Teri Sinagro in Akron, Ohio. Tracy has two sisters, Toni and Tami. Tracy moved from Ohio and grew up in a god-fearing Catholic family surrounded by the beauty of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Tracy was the definition of unconditional love, and her legacy has proven that.

Tracy married her husband, John Wesley McJunkin IV, thirty-three years ago. Tracy had three children: Joey, Brian, and Kristin. John had four kids: John, Jana, Jaclyn, and Jo. They met in 1989, which would be the year two families finally became one. The first question Tracy asked John was, “How can I help you?” On May 14, 1991, Tracy and John welcomed their twins, Anthony and Branden. The twins completed our family. Blending a family always comes with ups and downs, but Tracy stepped up and ensured we were one. Tracy’s raw motherly instincts and how she played the role that each of us needed is something most could not do, but she did. Through everything, Tracy loved each of her kids with everything she had. Her Husband surrounded Tracy's life. The two were and still are completely inseparable. They have the kind of love that most would not understand, but it is perfect for them. We are talking about the kind of love that came with daily love notes to and from her husband.

One of Tracy’s favorite notes from her husband was this silly poem:
“Roses are Red; Pine Trees are Green,
You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!”
“Lemons are Yellow, Blueberries are blue,
You are so wonderful sometimes I don’t know what to do!”

They could talk for hours even after thirty-three years of marriage. Tracy was selfless and would do “whatever it takes” to ensure her husband was alive and healthy, and her husband would do the same for her. They had the kind of love most people would have run from; they tried but always found their way right back into each other’s arms. Tracy’s tenacity was everlasting. Her intentions were always good, even if she sometimes had a funny way of showing them. She always meant the best to everyone in everything she did. When she made a mistake, she owned it and did her best to make things right. Tracy cared more about others than she did herself. She was more than happy when she had something or someone to help. She was passionate about disease and cures. Tracy researched COVID-19 and cancer and carefully studied Jacob Glanville's work. He is the founder and CEO of Centivax, whose mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to a post-pathogen humanity. He was a huge contributor to her research and gained a beautiful friend. There is not enough paper to explain Tracy’s legacy, but if you knew her, you know.

A birthday letter from Jay to Tracy (she held on to everything I wrote, but she kept this one in her bedside drawer). Sent to her on her sixty-first birthday November 13, 2022.
