Hi, my name is Nicole Mahaffey and I would like to see our community support the Dieterle family during this horrible time. All funds will be used for funeral expenses, memorials and medical bills for Tristan. Funerals and medical bills are the last thing they should be worried about, as a community we can help them through this.

**All money will go directly to Tristan’s mom (Jamie Dieterle) to pay for all expenses for the funeral, for when medical bills come in, and for whatever is decided for memorials.  We have raised enough to really make a difference, our community is so generous I cried watching the amount climb steadily all day yesterday.  I am just a friend who wanted to help in some way on this horrible time.**

Tristen was a 7th grader at Aspen Ridge, and on Tuesday he tragically lost his life. He was loved by everyone that knew him. He was a bright light in this world, and he will be missed by so many.

“I feel so lucky to have coached you since 3rd grade. Our big teddy bear with such a big heart! We love you ”

“If you think of school spirit….he WAS our school spirit. Every game. Every event. Cheering right down to the last second. His cheers, smiles and high fives will greatly be missed. He was the face of our whole Patriot community. Please say a prayer today for his dear family and our community as a whole. We are all missing this gentle giant with the big heart and infectious smile today Rest In Peace sweet Tristan.”
