It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Tristan Joseph Webb, age 9 years, on Thursday, April 12, 2018.
This amazing young man was an avid outdoorsman and sportsman. His summers were filled with camping, fishing and hunting with his dad whom he admired and Papa Morris and Grandma Buddy. He was his father’s little hunting buddy. Always busy climbing trees or busy at his Grandmas’ houses, he enjoyed camping with his family at Whitefish Lake, whether it was catching snakes for his cousins or Papa Morris letting him drive the boat. He loved science with experiments being tested on many family members with memories lasting forever. Tristan was extremely proud of his artwork that was displayed at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery. He loved his trips to Fort Frances to visit his Grandparents “Grandma Roxy” and his cousins.
Tristan was the sweetest little boy with the biggest heart who had a zest for life and adventure. He had a natural ability for sports, excelling at anything he tried. Hockey quickly became his passion. He recently won MVP for his team and his family could not be more proud. He was a MVP on and off the ice. His cat, Dempster, has lost his best friend.
Tristan was a great big brother, laughing, learning and teaching his younger siblings or just playing pranks on them. He was very involved with any Xbox games. He quickly made friends whether it be at his school, St. Jude’s, or on the ice, playing hockey.
Tristan was blessed with a large and loving family. He will be missed by his mom Tasha (Mike) and dad Jason (Michelle); siblings Briana, Charlie, Brooklyn, Olivia; grandparents Cheryl (Morris), Elizabeth Jaggard (Greg), Cheryl (Dan) Bragg, Tony (Loretta) DiFelice, great grandparents Wilbert and Rita Peterson, aunts and uncles Sean and Brenda Webb (Emma and Robert), Mike and Rebecca Webb (Declan and Griffin), Mark and Lisa McPherson (Brody, Nadia, Noah), Sean Bragg, Jason Bragg (Emily), Chelsea Bragg (Gage and Payton), Carrie Bragg, Colin and Rosanne Chaschuk (Sydney and Avery), Jessica DiFelice, Nathan (Cory), Devin (Gabe), Justin (Lynn). Numerous other relatives also survive.
He was predeceased by grandfathers Louis Nault, Brian Webb, Wayne Peterson and Charles Jaggard.
Funeral Services will be held at 12:00 Noon, Thursday, April 19, 2018 in the Chapel of Harbourview Funeral Centre, presided by Rev. Joseph Arockiam of St. Peter’s Church. Visitation will begin one hour prior to the service. Interment in Riverside Cemetery will follow the reception.
