He was raised and educated in Williston, graduating from Williston High School in 2014. While in high school, Tristen participated in basketball, golf and football. He also mastered the art of being the “class clown”. Upon graduating from high school, Tristen attended Williston State College where he studied welding. He was employed at Tractor Supply. Hunting and fishing were Tristen’s true passions. These were skills he acquired and perfected with the help of his wonderful friends. He was very much looking forward to hunting on the family farm for the first time this year. Tristen was always there to lend a helping hand to his parents, siblings, grandparents and great- grandfather. He would extend that hand to anyone who asked, yet, he asked for nothing in return. Surviving Tristen are his parents, Stacy and Ryan; his sister, Peyten; his brother, Carter; grandparents, Gaylen and Candy Huwe, and Mona and Kevin Craft; and great-grandfather, Douglas James Elsberry all of Williston; aunts and uncles, Lisa and Dan Sandaker of Fargo, ND and Chad and Melissa Slapnicka and their children Matsen and Holden of Bismarck, ND; his very special friend, Rhiannon Jones and numerous great aunts, uncles and cousins. Preceding Tristen in death were his great-grandparents, Constance Mortenson (grandma with the fish); Lowell and Harriet Huwe (grandparents with the green van); Ethel Elsberry (his special babysitter); grandfather Curtis Slapnicka and his faithful dog Shilo.
