TRISTAN JONATHAN GARRETT July 24, 2002 Calgary, Alberta December 22, 2017 Calgary, Alberta It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of our beloved son and brother, Tristan Jonathan Garrett. For three and one half years, Tristan fought a ferocious and courageous battle against Ewing's Sarcoma, followed by Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Throughout his treatment, Tristan found his passion in raising awareness about pediatric cancers and the impact of giving to others. Honoured to represent The Children's Wish Foundation and The Kimmett Cup, Tristan eagerly encouraged others to give of themselves by sharing his story and emphasizing the power a Wish has on children fighting to survive. While raising awareness for Pediatric cancer and The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada, Tristan had a lot of support and encouragement from many different friends. A special thank you to Sarah, Susan, Kyla and Rhys from Children's Wish, The Kimmett Family, Dr. Jason Baserman, Luca Ribetti and the LR Helicopter Team, Kara, Andrew, The Canadian Forces Snowbirds, The Canadian Oilfield Riders, David from Jet1 and The Calgary Police Air Support Unit. All of you were instrumental in allowing Tristan to share his story and find purpose in his life journey. Tristan will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Loreli and Todd Garrett; as well as his younger brother Kieran; his dog Yogi; grandmother Cathie Prior, grandparents, Barry and Ad Garrett; uncles, Steven (Bonnie) Prior, Brent (Karen) Prior, Chad Garrett and Aunt Diana (Brian) Holloway, as well as many cousins. Tristan was predeceased by his Grandpa Fred Prior.
