I wanted you to know that what I will remember about him was the twinkle in his eye and the smile on his face. I truly enjoyed him and am so saddened by this loss. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. - Katie DeFoor

I was not his regular teacher, but during the first part of this year I did have the privilege to work with him on several assignments. From this day on he was always so kind to me. I was blessed by his smile and warmth each morning when he would come down the hallway. I am sure that your family is at a loss that is beyond words, and I can not tell you that this emptiness will go away, but I can tell you that in his 14 years he touched others and that is something to be proud of. My prayer for you is that you find comfort in one another and that you know that you have family and friends that are there when you need a listening ear. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you during this tragic time.

I'll never forget when he was about 9 or 10 or so and he invited me to ride with him through some mountain trails around his house. We had such a good time and it made me feel good he wanted his old aunt to experience it. I love you Tristan.

It broke my already broken heart to hear the news the day of my father's funeral. I miss you so much and wish we would have had the chance to hang out more. The last few months hanging out with you were the best, and I will always cherish them. Your my little buddy! I just miss everything about you.. your laugh, your smile, the way you and joel used to mess with me everyday, even the bean dip! You were the coolest 14 year old boy I've ever met, and I'm so glad I had the pleasure of calling you my friend. But now your in a much better place with your papa and that makes me smile. I never told you, but i do love you tristan. We will see each other again one day. A day I look forward too. I loves you trigger and will miss you so so much.

Your forever in my heart,

17. Theresa Anderson wrote:: As Tristan's school counselor, I had the opportunity to speak with him several times throughout the year. Tristan had overwhelming charm and a smile that could touch the core of many hearts. I recall one conversation in which he spoke of his grandfather....the love and admiration was so evident as he spoke of the good times he had spent with this man. Moreover, the tears he shed were indicative of the pain he experienced from losing such a strong role model and friend. My heart aches in knowing that Tristan's was with us for such a short period of time and there is nothing I can say to ease your pain; but in searching for some understanding, I find a bit of comfort in knowing he is once again with the grandfather who he loved so dearly....

Sitting there with him working on math, watching him smile and laugh, and seeing bulbs light up when he understood a problem...that was an awesome way to end my day.

The first day I met Tristan, the students in the after school program were watching a movie, and Tristan was a little restless. So, I asked him if he wanted to walk around. He agreed and we walked around the building, up and down the halls, for a solid hour...and he talked my ears off. He spoke of his sisters and grandfather, of working on cars, and about life in general. This is my fondest memory of Tristan. He was a blessing to me.

To his family, may the Lord wrap His arms around you and give you peace and comfort. Know that Tristan touched many lives, mine included, and that his memory will live on forever.
God Bless,

I do not know why he had to go, but I have to believe God had a greater reason to call him away. I do believe God will not put on us what we can not bear. But I know now it does seem that we can not bear this lost. We must keep our faith, pray for God to comfort us in each day as we will never forget Tristan. I know as we sleep and wake each day we will think he is sleeping in his bed and he will just wake up and be ready to do what Tristan does. There are no words to express how sorrowful our hearts are for you all. We all love all of you and will do whatever to make this easier. We must believe everything happens for a reason, and we may not ever know why but we must believe and look forward for better days to come.

I feel the deepest of sympathy on this sad and tragic day. All of a sudden, it seems that I am a million miles away and that I should be there to share in your grief. I am there in spirit, love, and prayer. I hope that this most terrible loss brings a family that is so close-knit even closer together.

I really do not even know where to begin with my words. I told you before I had no words on this that will help. I was told by a wise person not to tell you: "He is in a better place" and my friend told me not to say: "How are you doing?” Well, I am taking that advice...lol. So, let us not even go there because I do know how you are doing and yes, we know he is in a better place but I want to be selfish and have him here right now. There is a song (Tammy) I want you to listen to; it is by Sherrie Austin, "Streets of Heaven." Long story short, it is a mother’s battle with God about taking her child, just listen. I find comfort in it but I have never experienced what you are going through so I really do not know. I will say my heart breaks every second for all of you. Christy and Wesley are having to do the same thing today, all I can tell any of you is to love one another, do not turn from one another now. You are all each one has. God does not put more on us than we can bare. I am a firm believer of that, I have always said that. Even when things are at its worse, I know we can deal because He says so. He carries us when we are weakest, I like to refer to “Footprints in the Sand” at times like this, in it the Lord says, he didn’t forsake us at our weakest, He carried us all the way through. We all have had our ups and our downs but just know I am here (seriously) for each and every one of you when and if you need me. I promise you that. Call me anytime, 678-200-5313. I have good memories of Tristan as a baby…him and Kirstin kept all of us on our toes at the lake. I think Doris loved it, I remember she kept her camera out all the time. I love each of you very much, I just hope that the love you all have for one another is enough to carry you on. I know it can…just have faith. I know that too is hard to do at a time like this, faith is a big, strong word but we all can do it. Tristan, baby, I know you are laughing at all of us and saying, “Why are you all so sad, I love it here!!!” Well, we all miss you and some do not understand, Kirstin is dealing the best she knows how. To those of you reading this (myself included) we need to take this as a learning experience. Do not wait until tomorrow to say I love you. Tell that person today because tomorrow might not ever come. Thank you all for reading, I do not mean to write a book I just have so much I want to say and apparently, it takes all of this. Until next time, I love you all.

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."

I want you to know how I LOVE You. There was so much I finally realized that I needed to tell you. I feel like the world has just crashed all around me. It will NEVER be the same anymore, but there is a reason for all of this and one day we will all know that reason. I look at shane and chloe and see you, and chloe laughs just like you. You will be missed terribly. I wonder what your doing right now in Heaven? I wonder if your showing off since that was what you always did. Hey but because of you and keshia I love peanut butter and vanilla ice cream, and thats all really I've been wanting to eat lately. Monday when I got the news that you passed your CRCT I broke down. Tristan you helped me choose what path I want to take in life, you made me open my eyes to reality. I want to help children in all ways possible. Im probably going to become a math teacher now, I was iffy about it but I believe that is what I want to do now. Tristan, you told me tons of things and because of you, you helped me choose the right answer. Even though I didn't hear you say what you said, I regret not telling you Thursday that you answered alot of unanswered questions, and I will never forget it. When you died it felt like a piece of me was taken with you. Im just at a loss of words right now. It was like you knew you had to go, there were signs of that all around us. I knew when I told you bye Thursday and I said, "I'll see you this summer," and you told me, "ya maybe," I knew something was wrong with that. No one will probably heal over this ever because it was so unexpected. I don't understand how God works and probably won't until I meet him. I highly doubt I will ever really accept that your gone for good. I just keep telling myself that I have to be strong and that I will see you again. I know it will never be the same around Shane, Betty, Tammy, and the rest of your family ever again because we will be missing an angel. I will NEVER forget you and Joel coming up with the name "Turkey Girl." Im gonna miss coming up on weekends and walking in Joel's room and seeing you sitting on his bed and Joel in his recliner all laid back and then yall saying, " hey look its turkey girl!" Tristan, I know for a fact that you were called home for a purpose and one day I will see you again. Atleast you don't have to go through all the pain and suffering that we are going to have to endure. I love you so much and even though your just a memory now, you'll always be in my heart.

Love Always,
Leah ( Turkey Girl )

Do you remember that day that we were talking on facebook and we were talking about all kinda stuff and you were on Keshias laptop and i was on Mama Pegs desktop ? We were in the same room (: I remember that week before you left us i was at school and i was coming into my house because i just got off the bus and you said "aye , Water you doin?" on facebook and i said nothing much i just wanna come up there and see yall for a few ... What are you doing ? and you said "nuttin just chillin" ... I wish i still had those messagess /: i have no idea what happened to them ! but i just wanna feel your skin one more time , hear your laugh , and just see you have a good time ... that'll never happen ): ............ On your facebook it says that you were having a rough couple of years and you couldnt wait to see what the next ten years down the road has for you ... i guess you'll be "looking down on us smilin" ... I've listened to When i'm gone by Eminem like 35 times and it never gets old . I could call your sisters phone all day long because we have no idea how to get your voice mail off of there . LOL (; ALWAYS REMEMEBER ; i will always rememeber calling your cellie and you talking about how good jerry cooked steak and how good your dads biscuts aree . I was looking through my year book from last year and i noticed that you signed it and it said " Tristan Keown see ya at home" ... everything that i have has a memory with you in it ! It just kills me because your not here anymore ! Why did god half to take at such a young age ? you were just about to get your learners and get to drive your truck .. You didnt even make it to high school ! It just broke my heart into a million pieces that you exceeded on your CRCTs ... Leah , did a very good job on teaching you ... I have soooo much more to say but i gotta go .. im getting tired ! I LOVE YOU , TRIGGGA <3
