Ballinger Family

Tristen Ballinger was  an amazing young man. He’s been thru a ton of adversity in his life. As a young child he was diagnosed with Addison’s. He fought this like a champ. After many years of this fight, he contracted ALD. Adrenoleukodystrophy is a very aggressive and destructive disease that is not well known. This attacked Tristen the summer between his junior and senior years of high school. With some very scared parents and family, Tristen took this challenge head on without fear. After tons of time, treatments, hospital stays, attempts to reverse conditions, Tristen’s body was taken by this debilitating and horrible disease. He kept a smile on his face and fought like a champion the whole way thru. We are putting this together for Tristen’s memorial service and where the Ballinger family sees fit.
