Dear Abby and Mackenzie, Deepest condolences to you and the rest of your family. I remember Tristan and you, Mackenzie as the two cutest kids at our work picnic in Arva. Your mom has always been so proud of you. Abby, you are the best and strongest mama out there. Sending you both hugs. May your many happy memories bring you comfort.
On behalf of everyone at Olde London fish and chips, we extend our deepest condolences to the family of Tristan. He was a valued member of our team before the tragedy and has continued to be in our thoughts. Our prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
My condolences to the friends and family of Tristan. Although Tristan and I were briefly together back in 2016 he has made a huge impact on my life and who I have become as a person. He was always kind to every person he met and encouraged others to do the same. Tristan I know you are at peace and continue to spread kindness wherever you may be. Thank you. To Tristan’s family I hope you know how proud he would be of you and how thankful he would be to have you supporting him the way you did. All the best, Abbe
Abby and Mackenzie, I was sorry to hear of Tristan’s passing, may he rest in peace. Your family is a shining example of love and devotion. Sending my heartfelt sympathy to you both. Sincerely, Cathy Smith
Our deepest condolences to the family.
Abby and MacKenzie, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Tristin. My heart goes out to you. Sending you lots of love and strength during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.
For Mrs. ROBY & family..I have prayed for Tristan over the years. As a mother of 2 sons, both in their 30's, I can't imagine the anguish you have endured. I shall say prayers again for him. God bless.
Dear Abby and MacKenzie: What a gift Tristan was for the all-too-short time he was here. There are no words for the devastation of his suffering and loss, as well as that which his beloved family has endured and will continue to endure. I have asked others to uphold Tristan's memory by being the best of themselves, to reflect the best of Tristan: The best he brought to us for 23 years and which he would have continued to bring for many years in the future. I do not know if Tristan had animals in his life he was close to but I am donating to an animal rescue charity in his name, to help other beings who have suffered through no fault of their own. We are sending much love and care to the Roby family, not just today but for your long journeys ahead. We are so deeply deeply sorry for the loss of your cherished son, brother, family member and friend.
I would like to express my deepest sympathies to Mrs. Roby. I too have followed the storylines from the newspaper and ctv to do with your son over the year. May he RIP! He truly was an inspiration to all that truly got to know him for who he was. He is now in a better place free from pain and the suffering he was traumatized with. My condolences to you all. I am so very sorry to hear that.
When the world lost Tristan, it lost a deeply caring and compassionate individual. I will always remember and think of him as such a wonderful and interesting person. I hope he is resting peacefully. I am so sorry to the Roby/McLeod family for your loss.
Dear Mrs. Roby, I didn’t know you, nor did I know Tristan. But, along with many Londoners, I have followed your story since Tristan’s accident. I can’t imagine the anguish of losing a child, so my heart is with you. The tireless strength, dedication and love you showed in caring for him these many years is admirable. I know you say he’s at peace. I hope, in knowing that, that you and your daughter feel some peace as well. 🙏 ♥️
I’ll never forget the time we were walking in the Laurier hallways and my shoe came untied. Tristan immediately got on one knee and tied it for me. I couldn’t imagine anyone ever doing that for me. I’ll never forget walking around the track with him at lunchtime once the weather got nice. He was so easy to be friends with. He was only good. I don’t think he had a mean bone in his body. I’ll never forget when we went to the movies together. We saw A Wrinkle in Time and then we went over to Chapters and looked at the books together. I wish I had stayed longer. I wish I had talked to him more. He will always be so special to me. Not a day goes by where something doesn’t remind me of him. He will be very missed. May he rest in peace. Tristan will always be in my heart.
