Tristan Marko Livingston

October 30, 2008 – February 23, 2009
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beautiful son, Tristan Marko Livingston. Tristan was born in Victoria and lived a short time before passing away in Edmonton at Children’s Stollery Hospital from liver complications. His amazing smile that would melt your heart will be forever missed. He will live on forever through his mom, Sara Hutchison and dad, Ben Livingston. The family would like to acknowledge and thank the staff at Vancouver BC Children’s Hospital for their wonderful care and great compassion.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2009 at 2:00 pm at MCCALL BROS. FLORAL CHAPEL, Johnson & Vancouver Streets. A Celebration of Life will follow at the Fireside Grill in Royal Oak. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the David Foster Foundation.

    To Ben and Sara,

    I know your pain and longing for your beautiful baby boy Tristan.
    The angles are cradling him in there arms and you will see him
    in your dreams and thoughts he will forever live in your heart.
    I would like to extend my heart-felt support to you and when you
    are ready if you wish feel free to call me.

  9. To Tristan’s Parents and Family. Please excuse my intrusion on your grief since I have never met you. I just wanted to extend my heart-felt support to you as I, too, lost my precious, infant daughter to a congenital heart defect. I want to share words someone spoke to me at a time when I felt consumed with grief and confusion that I hope will comfort you. I was 21 and this woman was the age I am now, 56 and she said, “your baby was so perfect, she didn’t need to stand the trials and tests of this world. She has passed to a better place where she waits for you”. I have never forgotten these words and honestly, it relieved me. Tristan felt happiness if he smiled and he knew he was and will always be loved. Sincerely, I send my love. Deborah x

  10. To Ben and Sara,
    We share your joy and celebration of your time with Tristan. We also share your very deep sorrow that this sweet life ended way too soon. His spirit will forever be with you and the memories cherished for all time.
    Our thoughts are with you.
    Pam and Bruce Tobin
