only part of task executed when connection lost on redis using django celery

I have a django celery task that is only partly executing.

I start up the app and the connection looks good:

INFO/MainProcess] Connected to redis://elasticache.cache.amazonaws.com:6379/0 [2018-02-17 23:27:24,314: INFO/MainProcess] mingle: searching for neighbors [2018-02-17 23:27:25,339: INFO/MainProcess] mingle: all alone [2018-02-17 23:27:25,604: INFO/MainProcess] worker1@test_vmstracker_com ready.

I initiate the process and the task is received an executed:

[2018-02-17 23:27:49,810: INFO/MainProcess] Received task: tracking.tasks.escalate[92f54d48202] ETA:[2018-02-18 07:27:59.797380+00:00] [2018-02-17 23:27:49,830: INFO/MainProcess] Received task: tracking.tasks.escalate[09a0aebef72b] ETA:[2018-02-18 07:28:19.809712+00:00] [2018-02-17 23:28:00,205: WARNING/ForkPoolWorker-7] -my app is working-

Then I start getting errors and it doesn't finish the task where my app sends an email

[2018-02-17 23:28:00,214: ERROR/ForkPoolWorker-7] Connection to Redis lost: Retry (0/20) now. [2018-02-17 23:28:00,220: ERROR/ForkPoolWorker-7] Connection to Redis lost: Retry (1/2

Does anyone know why only have executes and then the connection is lost?

Here is the full stacktrace:
