Edward John Tracey Jr., 77, of Lawton OK, peacefully passed away on June 3, 2025, surrounded by family.  Born in Coatesville, PA, January 26, 1948, he was the eldest son of the late Edward John Tracey Sr. and Emma Scott Tracey.  Edward was a graduate of Coatesville Area High School, class of 1966.  Following high school, he served in the US Army during the Vietnam War where he met his beautiful wife, Orchid Jade Tracey.
