Man Tristan
Its crazy that your gone. I keep thinking about prom and how much fun our group had. We had to stop you from fighting the hotel security guard who tried to ruin our night lol. We had hella good times in Mrs. Cummins class too, laughing, prank calling Mrs. Cummins, plotting. Man good times. You will always be remembered, and may you rest in peace. To your family, Tristan touched many lives and was a great person.

Thinking of Tristan's family..we know he was truly loved and will remember all the great stories his mom told us of his talent & spirit...Float on Tristan

It took me ages to work up the courage to talk to you in class, it seemed like you always sat in the back wearing a black sweatshirt with the hood up looking way too cool and chill to not be putting it on. But you weren't! You were my self-appointed introducer to the world of high school...what a hilarious and terrifying time that was. Rest in peace, man, I know I'm not the only one who will remember you as the awesome guy to go to when I wanted a good time. Prayers to your family and everyone else touched by the amazingness that was you.

Tristan my beautiful baby brother I love you so much. I can't believe you were taken from us so soon. You were destined to do great things. We love you and miss you so much!!!! I hope you are at peace.

This is his cousin Carolyn and I miss him dearly. I know he mentioned some friends from Pasadena that he was so excited about and we would love to hear from them. Please e-mail me @ sivadelle@roadrunner.com if you have any information about Tristan.

Whoever the wrote "big semis are hard to see maybe paying attention would help" is a heartless!!! He died that night and you want to criticize him.

He stood up for me, now i stand up for him!

Tristan, you were an amazing friend and had the biggest heart!! You will be terribly missed by all and we'll see you up there buddy!

My cousin, and my friend. I can't believe you're gone. I had a great time growing up with you, and always seeing your smiling face. I have so many good memories with you. More like a brother than anything. My only true family. I know you're in a better place.
Rest in peace brotha man.

First of all to the insensitive, heartless person that wrote about semis being hard to see...just remember you'll get what you deserve.

Secondly, I am a classmate and friend of Tristans. Having just moved to L.A. he was the first real friend that I made and enjoyed sitting next to him and spending time outside of class. He was always crackin' jokes and could always cheer me up. It was so hard to sit next to an empty seat this week and it still hasn't really hit me. He was far too young for such a thing to happen and had so much to still give to this world. I am so blessed to have met such an amazing person and I am thankful that I had spoken to him the afternoon before. My heart goes out to all of his friends and family.

You will be greatly missed Tristan! Rest in Peace!

Tristan, so young, so handsome, so talented... Rest in peace sweet heart you are now with Kako and your dad, Samantha and I decided to celebrate your life, I can't help to keep seeing your bright smile and soulful eyes, we are the one left behind to grieve...Adieu Tristan

Dear Tristan,
I am so sad you have left us. You are so missed by your family and friends. My love and condolences go to all who knew you, and especially to my dear friend your mother Nicole. May you rest in peace.

My TrisTANNNy, you're missed, but your life is celebrated. I'm crying but trying to keep a smile on my face and remembering the good times. I know you're up there somewhere smiling down on us all. Love you man!

Tristan everyone in Seattle will miss you soo much you will never be forgotten you will always be in our hearts...RIP Tristan Maes
