Tristan Luis Bartlett

Beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend Tristen Luis Bartlett of Houston, Texas, known to his family by various nicknames, was called to the presences of our Lord at the tender age of 13, on Friday the 4th day of January 2013 in a skiing accident on Copper Mountain, Colorado.

Luis was born April 25 in Wichita Falls, Texas. He is survived by his Mother Karen Bartlett, Father Hank Bartlett, older brother Kirk Donavon Bailey-Lopez, and the rest of his extended family.

He is the only blonde, blue-eyed grandchild of the bunch. He loved video games and spending time with his cousins and his daddy. He was a typical teenager, other than liking school work and his love of math. He didn’t like chores, but because of his gentle character, he humbly resigned in obedience with a sigh.

He was an adrenaline junkie in training. He would always get up and dust himself off after every fall with a smile. He was sincere, loving child concerned with everyone’s welfare before his own. He was grateful for all the small tokens of kindness he received from anyone.

He just loved being around his family and enjoyed outdoor activities, even though he suffered from asthma, leg pains and food allergies.

He will be greatly missed by all and the void he leaves in our lives can only be filled by his loving spirit in Christ.
