Tristan Matthew Boggs was born on May 20, 1997, in Grand Blanc, Michigan. He is the son of Michael and Racheal Boggs and Ivonne Hedden. He was a graduate of Bendle High School, Class of 2015, and proudly worked at Walmart in Grand Blanc.
He leaves behind his parents, Michael, Racheal, and Ivonne; siblings: Michael III, Mikaila, Lily, Tori, C.J., and Chloee; Aunt Penny, Uncle Dave, and Uncle Mike Vojinov; Nephews: Jayce and Jenson; Special loved ones: Samantha, Kelsey, and Remi Mejia; Many aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, friends, and his beloved fur baby, Princess Dovah May.
Tristan is preceded in death by his Grandpa Mike Boggs and his Grandmas: Josie, Jackie, and Uma.
Tristan lived boldly, loved fiercely, and left a mark that will never fade. A true trailblazer in his own right, Tristan moved through the world unapologetically himself—authentic, fearless, and full of heart. He accepted everyone exactly as they were, offering warmth, understanding, and a rare kind of belonging to anyone fortunate enough to know him.
Tristan had a smile that could light up an entire room and a sense of humor that could pull laughter from even the heaviest of days. He was eccentric, playful, and wonderfully silly, never afraid to stand out or speak his truth. His presence was magnetic—not because he tried to be, but because he was real.
He loved deeply and wholeheartedly. Family meant everything to him. Coming from a large, blended family, Tristan was surrounded by love, and he gave that love back tenfold. He shared a special bond with each person in his life, and the memories he created with them will be cherished forever.
Nature was one of Tristan’s greatest sources of peace. Whether walking beneath open skies, feeling the wind on his face, or simply being outdoors, he found grounding and clarity in the natural world. It was there that his spirit felt most free.
Though his time here was far too short, Tristan’s impact is lasting. He leaves behind laughter that still echoes, lessons in authenticity that continue to inspire, and love that will never diminish. He will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always carried in the hearts of those who loved him.
