Hello there, I am Hillary and I had the privilege of being the sister to the best brother anyone could have ever asked for, but Friday, February 17th tragedy struck our family when he decided to take his own life. I am asking for your help in offsetting some of the burden this has placed on our family. While no one can heal our broken hearts, the financial burden can be lightened by generous hands like yours.

Tristan's essence was far too incredible for this world. His heart was made of magic and his soul radiated a warm iridescent light that would engulf anyone that was near. Even as you walked away you were left with a spark of wonder for he was always challenging you to look at the world from a new perspective. Every conversation with him was like the beginning of a great novel, with his curious mind and prodigious imagination he could transport you through fantasies like no other. He was always off in the woods searching for adventure in this mundane life, and everywhere he went, he was followed by his entourage of two large beasts he called his children, Kunai and Argos. Whenever someone would catch a glimpse of these 120lb dogs they were astounded, not just because of their large stature, but the way they followed behind him like innocent baby ducklings. Tristan was Kunai and Argos's world, and they were his.

We need these funds to give Tristan the service he deserves for making such a profound impact on our lives, and to protect the dogs he loved so much for the duration of their lives. They are also our family but without Tristan's financial assistance it is difficult to see how my parents will be able to keep our family home, much less support two human-sized animals. Please help our family in this time of great sorrow and need.
