Tracy Obert Saboe, 40 Tracy Obert Saboe, 40

Tracy Obert Saboe, of Sioux Falls, S.D., died Monday, June 29, 2020. Tracy was 40.

Funeral services were Tuesday, July 7, 2020, at Miller Southside Chapel, 7400 S. Minnesota Ave., Sioux Falls. Inurnment was Wednesday, July 8, at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Sioux Falls.

Tracy was born July 24, 1979 in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. He was eagerly welcomed into the world by his parents, Robert and Verla May (Ruby) Saboe, and siblings, Jon (17), Edythe (15), and Phillip (7). Tracy was a beautiful, delightful, happy baby. He loved to learn new things.

He graduated from Augustana University in Sioux Falls on May 20, 2001, and was married to Amy McCart on May 22, 2001 in Sioux Falls. Two days before their first anniversary, they closed on their home — which was painted purple shortly after moving in.

Tracy had a successful Body Talk practice helping many clients a week, including some internationally. He loved seeing improvements in the lives of his clients; physically, emotionally, and spiritually, but always said it wasn’t him that made the improvements. “My job is not to heal your body. My job is to help your body heal itself.”

Tracy and Amy did not have any children but have shared their home with six wonderful feline girls over the years; three of which are still keeping Amy company.

He attended church at Ridgecrest (now Restoration) Baptist and Red Door in Sioux Falls and Antelope Valley church near Revillo, S.D.

Grateful for having shared his life are his loving wife, Amy Saboe of Sioux Falls; parents, Robert & Verla Saboe of Idaho; siblings, Jon (Valory) Saboe of Maryland, Edythe (Stewart) Waltner of Illinois and Phillip Saboe of Sioux Falls; nieces, Emily “Emma” (Matt) Grevan of Colorado and Amanda Waltner of Illinois; nephew, Tryston Voegele of Montana; and numerous other relatives and friends. Tracy is preceded in death by his grandparents, Obert & Pearl Saboe and Clarence & Martha Ruby; and his nephew, David Paul Waltner.
