Tristan C Carrion

Tristan Christopher Carrion was granted his angel wings on March 20, 2017 following a nearly lifelong illness. His final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Tristan had touched in his way throughout his short, yet very memorable life.

Tristan’s life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His gentle smile could melt the hearts of those around him.

With Tristan’s passing we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated. Although we will miss him every day, especially his winning smile; he will forever remain in our hearts. Through his teaching us about life, we were able to create wonderful memories and it has been a privilege to be his parents. We are so thankful for the time we got to have as a family together; to laugh love and yes cry too.

He will be dearly missed by all his special caregivers and friends he met through the Sparrow Organization as well as his Doctors and Nurses who took such good care of him. Our Fan Advocate at Tumalo Community School (Kelli Wolford) for her constant support and helping us to have every minute we could with Tristan. The School community in general all the people who brought food and gave of themselves financially as well as physically. All of these special people, too numerous to mention, provided Tristan with love and dignity in his life and also in his death.

Tristan is survived by his loving parents, Christopher and Sara of Bend Oregon; sisters; Ireland, Kaitlin and Trinity; also numerous family and friends.

God made a sweet child
a child who never grew old
He made a smile of sunshine
He molded a heart of pure gold.

He made that child as close to an angel
as anyone ever could be
God made a Sweet Child
and He gave that dear child to me

Then God saw His wonderful creation
growing very tired and weak
so He wrapped the child in His loving arms
and said, “You my child I keep”

But now my Sweet Child is an angel
Free from hurt and pain
I’ll love you forever, until we meet again
