It is with profound sadness that we extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of Tristin Blackwood, who tragically passed away in a car accident on November 24, 2025, in Fort Collins, Colorado. Tristin’s sudden passing has left a void that words can scarcely fill, and the weight of this loss is felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Tristin will be remembered as a kind-hearted, hardworking, and deeply devoted husband and father—a man whose quiet strength and sincerity shaped the lives of those around him. He embodied generosity not only through his actions, but through the humility with which he lived each day. His commitment to building a stable and loving future for his wife, Lariza, was evident to all. Those close to him admired his dedication, his gentle spirit, and the unwavering love he carried for his family.
At the time of his passing, Tristin and Lariza were at the beginning of a new chapter together. After recently arriving from the Philippines, Lariza had joined her husband in Colorado with hopes of building their life side by side. In the midst of her grief, she now faces the overwhelming challenge of navigating an unfamiliar country without the partner who had been her greatest source of comfort and support. During this unimaginable time, the outpouring of compassion from friends, family, and the community stands as a testament to the impact Tristin had on the lives of many.
Efforts are currently underway to support Tristin’s funeral arrangements and to assist Lariza as she adjusts to her new circumstances. At a time when the weight of loss is immeasurable, these acts of kindness reflect the love and respect so many held for Tristin.
As we honor his memory, we invite everyone to keep the Blackwood family in their thoughts and prayers. May they find strength, peace, and comfort in the embrace of those who care for them, and may God’s presence guide them through this period of deep sorrow.
Tristin’s life, though ended far too soon, remains a reminder of the goodness that one person can bring into the world. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
