This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Tristan Aldridge - Gray, 27, which GOD blessed us with on May 5, 1989 and called her home on June 13, 2016.
Tristan left behind her husband Michael Gray, daughter Keeli, stepson Landon, and many other family members.
Tristan was one of those few that could walk into a room and bring a smile to everyone's face. She was a home maker that traveled throughout the oil fields with Michael and was devoted to their success.
Tristan early life was rough with the passing of her father at age 6 but even with everything she endured she turned out to be a sweet, loving, fill of life woman.
What you read within this site will hold only a match stick to why Michael and Tristan loved each other..
RIP MY LOVE ILL SEE YOU SOON.
Michael Gray

Some Thing No One Knows
So Tristans biggest passion in life was being a mom but due to circumstances this wasnt the easiest thing for her but she wanted a little one with Michael so from day one they decided to leave it in Gods hands and just to practice a lot ( hey Tristan would be laughing at that so your allowed to). Well in September of 2014 it appeared Tristan got her wish and you had only ever once seen her face glow like it did, how ever in November God had other plans and took the little one on hoRIme to wait for his / her mommy, so Tristan was the mother of two plus a step-son and now she is up there rocking, playing, and doing what she enjoyed here on this earth so much being a mom.
RIP LIL ONE
RIP MY LOVE
The new apartment
Well after Michael and Tristan started getting serious Tristan wanted to get a place in Carlsbad NM so she could start to set a stable life and become more involved in her daughters life. So off the love birds went looking for an apartment and Tristan found a so so apartment for 800 a month but to Michael that wasnt good enough so he went looking and found his queen a castle, now it cost about as much as a castle at 1800 a month for just the rent but she had over 1600sq ft, 2 full baths, 3 beds, brand new everything, and a view that was to die for, of you should have seen her face when she saw the apartment, she was so excited that she went straight to walmart and spent over 800 on stuff to make it her own. That was her litlle castle and she was proud of it.
How to make Tristan upset
So our first trip to the rigs should have been just like any other trip lasting about 10 days so Tristan planned everything around that, well then we had some issues with the well and 10 turned to 20 which turned to 25 which turned to 39 days stuck in the desert, needless to say it took a lot of sweet talking to get Tristan to come back out but Michael knew it was in her best interest as it distanced her from some stuff.
IE how to tick a girl off in 10 no 20 no 25 no 39 days would be a great movie title
