Tracy Pike Henderson passed away at the age of 67 on Monday, September 25, 2023.
He is survived by his wife, Angela Shasteen Henderson; son, Tracy Chase Henderson; two grandsons, Pike Henderson and Truett Henderson; daughter-in-law, Ali Henderson; mother-in-law, Betty Shasteen; one brother, Jesse (Jay) Henderson; and two sisters, Amanda Hines and Stephanie Sams.
He was preceded in death by his father, James Henderson; and his mother, Betty Henderson.
Tracy was born and raised in Huntsville, AL where he graduated from Grissom High School in 1974. He served in the U.S. Army and Alabama National Guard Veteran. He always loved telling stories of his days of service, especially his time stationed in Korea. Tracy was always the life of the party and loved by everyone he met. He never met a stranger that he couldn't talk to. If you knew him, you'd always have a good story to share from your time together.
Tracy was a loving husband and proud father. He was a huge University of Alabama fan and was extremely proud to brag to everyone that his son graduated from there.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Madison Academy (325 Slaughter Road, Madison, AL 35758) in his honor.

Tracy Henderson was one of my 2 oldest friends with the other being Jimmy Weatherly both who I met around age 5 or 6. Tracy lived 2 houses down from me with Kay Marshall Shrout in between us. Tracy and I were as thick as mud until he went off to Korea and I went on to college. We remained friends for life and did so many things together as he was a very likeable and fun person to know. We were rascals that was for sure. He was so proud the day he had a son (chase) with his wife Angela and even prouder the day his son graduated from the University of Alabama. He is survived in death by his older brother Jay and older sister Stephanie. I will for one always miss Tracy as he will also be a large part of my life growing up. May he rest in peace.
