In Memory of Tristan Randall

Friends and Family,

On August 25th our dear brother, son, and friend, Tristan Randall, unexpectedly passed away. Tristan was a truly wonderful, passionate, and loyal person, friend, sibling, son, and most importantly father to his only child Vincent. Tristan’s impact and loss have been felt by a tremendous amount of people that he had graced with his presence.

Born August 14th, 1996 to Lance Barenberg and Luanna Randall, Tristan had just turned 27 at the time of his passing. Tristan was a middle child, his two older brothers Anthony and Cole made him a competitor. His two younger siblings Bobby and Adeline made him compassionate. Although he was still young, his passions in life were infectious and will be forever cherished by those around him.

Tristan had an immense love for the outdoors, art, music, and most importantly, his family. It brought him enormous joy to show his friends and family new music. He also loved to pour his heart into capturing moments of nature, as well as portraying them through his original illustrations. Those privileged enough to witness his drawings would attest to how much of a talented young artist Tristan was.

Tristan was a magnet for friendship. His loyalty, honesty, and generosity allowed others to feel as if they belonged when they were with him. Tristan knew the importance of friendship and family and loved to be around the people he cared for. He was the “give you the shirt off his back” type of person and friend. And although he knew people would inevitably have different paths in life, he always made an effort to keep in touch with those he had grown close with over the years.

These same qualities of friendship had carried over into fatherhood. Tristan unfortunately leaves behind his only son, two-year-old Vincent. No one was more elated to welcome a child into this world than Tristan was when Vincent was born in January 2021. Tristan was a caring, protective, and beloved father to Vinny. Vincent loved to spend time with his best friend and dad. Playing and taking pictures together gave Tristan a tremendous amount of happiness in his life. The love Tristan had for his son was unparalleled. Vincent will undoubtedly miss his best friend.

We hope to give this young, incredible, amazing young man the memorial he deserves. Any and all donations are appreciated. Any exceeding donations will be put into Vincent’s college funds.

Tristan your impact on your friends and family has been beyond comprehensible. You will be missed more than you ever imagined. Rest in peace, my brother.
