Tristan was an ambitious man pursuing a variety of trades, including landscaping and HVAC. Aside from his career, Tristan took the time to be a dedicated family man. Tristan loved traveling with family, from Branson, Missouri to the mountains in Colorado. To swimming in the ocean off the coast of Florida and being a goofy kid at Disneyworld. To white water rafting near the glaciers in Montana. Visiting the historical Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, we all know how patriotic he was and loved our country.

Before it was confirmed Tristan already knew he was going to be a father. The day he found out he was going to be a father was the second best day of his life. The first being when Arabella Rae was born on October 30th, 2024. Tristan cried tears of joy when he laid eyes on his beautiful daughter. His heart full of love. Tristan was Arabella’s protector. Always being playful and present when it came to his role. Arabella will always love her “dada” even with the short time they shared together. Tristan is now her guardian angel continuing to be her protector.

In honor of Tristan’s memory we’d like to provide the National Suicide Hotline : Dial 988 . September is National Suicide Awareness month, let’s spread awareness on men’s mental health. Men's mental health involves unique social and emotional challenges. Many men hide their struggles because of social rules that tell them to stay strong. Men die by suicide nearly four times more often than women, but they get less professional care. Men matter , Tristan mattered.

We love you Tristan Ray , we’ll miss you forever
