Though Tristen’s life was short, it was full. She had a passion for helping others, loved unconditionally, and provided hugs to any and all who needed them. She was a purple belt in Kickstart (Karate) and was considering moving forward to obtain her black belt. Earlier this spring, Tristen, competed in her first solo vocal competition and was looking forward to expanding this talent by participating in the high school choir. Additionally, Tristen was an avid reader and aspiring author.

Tristen was very involved in her church, having served in multiple youth leadership positions. She was on track to earn her Young Women’s Recognition award. Prior to her passing she participated in her third youth summer play, acting and singing. She had a firm testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and loved to share that with all who would listen.

Tristen was a wonderful, compassionate daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
