DAMASIO, Tristan Matthew
July 15, 2012-June 30, 2018

Surrounded by his family in the comfort of his home, Tristan gained his wings on Saturday June 30, 2018 in the loving arms of his mother and father, at the age of 5. Cherished son of Cody and Marie Damasio. Adored big brother of Amelie.

Tristan was most known for his bravery and strength during his three year battle with DIPG brain cancer. Although, his family and friends know him most for his tenderness, loving nature, silliness and sweet disposition. Tristan spent his days, loving life, seeking adventure in travel and fun, collecting his most prized toys, and catching Pokemon. With a mission to “catch them all” he also captured the hearts of everyone who was blessed enough to meet him and be inspired through his journey. Tristan will be deeply missed but the lessons he taught us all about true compassion, bravery and unwavering faith in his ability to overcome obstacles, will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved him. Even in the darkest of days facing this terrible disease, our superhero fought with positivity and found the joy in every moment. “Be happy, life’s good” “You can always find a way” words to live by from the Bravest Boy ever known. The entire Damasio and Bikich Family would like to express their gratitude for the support and love shown during Tristan’s courageous battle. Those who were touched by Tristan’s beautiful but brief life are invited to attend the services in celebration of all he was and will forever be.
