ROCKY POINT — Tristan Michael Meister, 21, beloved son, brother, grandson and loyal friend, left this earth way too soon Wednesday, May 30, 2018, leaving a big hole in our hearts.

In addition to his mother, Tristan is survived by his sister, Jordan Meister; grandmothers, Judy Groet and Shirley Burke; and many extended family and friends.

He was committed to educating school children and the general public about the history of Moores Creek National Battlefield as was evidenced by his over 1000 hours of volunteer service. He frequently was involved in the Revolutionary War reenactments at the Battle Ground.
Tristan was a devoted son, brother and grandson who loved his family. With a radiant smile, contagious laugh and charismatic personality, Tristan brought lots of sunshine into the lives of all he knew. He was loved and will be greatly missed.
