In Loving Memory of Traci Trasky and Her Beloved Son
With hearts shattered by sorrow, we remember the precious lives of Traci Trasky, 42, and her 12-year-old son, whose lives were tragically taken inside their home in Scottsville. Their passing has left an unimaginable void in their family and in the wider Allen County community.
According to the Kentucky State Police, authorities responded Wednesday night to a death investigation at a residence in the Scottsville area. Inside the home, officers discovered Traci and her young son deceased. Investigators later determined that Traci’s vehicle had been taken from the residence and was subsequently located unoccupied in a nearby neighborhood. With the assistance of local authorities and aerial drone technology, law enforcement searched the surrounding area. A 17-year-old male suspect was later taken into custody.
While investigations and legal proceedings move forward, today we center our hearts on remembering Traci and her son — not for the violence that ended their lives, but for the love and light they brought into this world.
A Devoted Mother
Traci Trasky was, above all, a mother. The bond between a mother and her child is one of life’s most sacred connections — built on unconditional love, protection, sacrifice, and hope. Traci dedicated herself to nurturing and guiding her son, shaping his world with care and devotion.
Those who knew her describe her as a woman of strength and compassion. She carried the everyday responsibilities of motherhood with dedication, always striving to create a safe and loving home. Her love for her son was evident in the way she spoke about him, cared for him, and supported him.
Her life revolved around her child — and that love will forever define her legacy.
A Young Life Full of Promise
At just 12 years old, Traci’s son was in the early chapters of his life story. He was at an age filled with curiosity, imagination, and possibility. Childhood is meant to be a time of discovery — of learning, laughter, and dreams of what the future might hold.
Friends, classmates, and community members will remember him for his youthful spirit. Whether he loved sports, video games, music, or simply spending time with friends, he had a personality uniquely his own. His smile, his voice, and his presence brought joy to those around him.
The loss of such a young life is especially heartbreaking. It represents not only what was, but what could have been — milestones that will never be reached, memories that will never be made.
A Community in Mourning
The tragedy has deeply shaken Scottsville and all of Allen County. In small communities, loss is felt collectively. Neighbors become extended family. Schools, churches, and local businesses all share in the grief.
There is sorrow. There is shock. And there is a longing for healing.
In times like these, unity becomes essential. Comfort comes through shared prayers, shared tears, and shared remembrance. The community’s embrace can help carry grieving loved ones through the heaviest days ahead.
Holding Onto Love
As legal processes unfold, it is important to remember that behind every headline are human beings whose lives mattered deeply. Traci and her son were not just victims of a crime — they were family. They were loved. They were valued.
Their memory lives on in the stories told by those who knew them. It lives on in photographs held close to the heart. It lives on in the quiet moments when their names are spoken with tenderness.
Forever Remembered
To the family and friends of Traci Trasky and her beloved son, we extend our deepest condolences. May you find strength in one another. May you find comfort in the love that surrounds you. And may the memories of Traci’s devotion and her son’s bright spirit remain a guiding light.
Though their lives were taken far too soon, their love cannot be erased.
In Scottsville, they will be remembered.
In the hearts of those who loved them, they will live on.
Rest in eternal peace, Traci and your precious son. You are gone from sight, but never from love.
