Pastor Tracy Burnett

     Pastor Tracy Burnett  55, of Calhoun, Kentucky went home to be with the Lord on Friday, April 28, 2023.  Tracy felt called into the ministry in 2002, after serving as a deacon at Cherry Street General Baptist Church in Carmi, Illinois.  He then went on to become the pastor of Powell General Baptist Church in Norris City, Illinois where he pastored for five years.  In 2008 Tracy accepted the call to Pleasant Hope General Baptist Church where he pastored until he was called home.  Pastor Tracy loved his church family dearly and compassionately, and always felt it a privilege and a joy to pastor his flock.  Tracy enjoyed sprint car racing with his dad, motorcycling, watching wrestling with his son, and calling everyone “My Friend.”  He loved supporting anyone, anywhere with prayer.
