🌟 A Life Cut Short, A Legacy of Love

On June 3rd, 2025, our dear friend Michael Larssen lost his beloved wife, Tracy, after an incredibly brave and selfless eight-year battle with cancer. She was just 41 years old.

As her health deteriorated, Tracy fought with everything she had — not for herself, but for her boys. Every ounce of strength she had was poured into making sure her children felt loved, seen, and comforted. Even in the most painful moments, she gave them smiles, hugs, and hope. Her grace, warmth, and unconditional love remained constant, right up to her final days.

Michael, her devoted husband, stood by her side through it all — a full-time caregiver who put his career on hold and his heart on the line, ensuring she never faced a single day alone.

Now, Michael is doing everything he can to hold the pieces together and raise their two youngest sons — Larz (9) and Lordon (4) — while honoring Tracy’s legacy of strength and love.

🧒👦 Meet the Boys: Larz & Lordon

💙 Larz (Age 9)

Bright, thoughtful, and sensitive, Larz is carrying his mother’s memory in everything he does. He misses her deeply, but routines like school, summer camps, and time with family are helping him find joy and stability again.

💚 Lordon (Age 4)

Born during Tracy’s treatments, Lordon is a true miracle. On the autism spectrum and speech-delayed, he has made tremendous progress thanks to daily ABA therapy from 9 AM to 5 PM, along with the support of family and specialists. His joy, eye contact, and budding communication are signs of incredible hope — and a reminder of how vital continued care is for his future.

🧑‍🦰👨‍🦱 The Big Brothers: Kris & Mason

Michael’s older sons, Kris (21) and Mason (19), are doing everything they can to be steady, supportive role models for their younger brothers. While navigating their own grief, they’ve stepped into roles of mentorship and strength — just as Tracy would have wanted.

🛠️🚗 Michael’s Mission: Rebuilding Life

Michael had built a successful executive career in business development — but when Tracy became ill, he made the selfless decision to step away from it all to become her full-time caregiver.

Now, he is working tirelessly to rebuild his career, while doing Uber, handyman work, and any jobs he can find to make ends meet. Every day is a balancing act between survival, healing, and being the best father he can be.
