Tristan Samuel Damron

A strong, tough, caretaker, often referred to as a fixer, passed away on December 5, 2018, from injuries sustained in a car wreck. Tristan Samuel Damron was 20 years old.

Tristan, while strong and sturdy, was tender-hearted. He knew how to work hard but wanted everyone to have a good time while they were doing it. Fixer is a word used to describe him not only due to his ability to take apart and repair items but for his want and need to fix anyone’s problems that he could. His goofy personality served as a buffer, doing whatever he could to make people smile and laugh. He was a mama’s boy through and through always putting her needs above his own. Tristan has been a crew leader at the Sonic in Summertown for several years. He had a deep love for all things video games, especially Call of Duty, speakers and sound systems in his car, thrill-seeking adventures, and animals of all kinds. His random “I love yous” and hugs will be missed the most.

Tristan’s life will be celebrated in a service on Monday, December 10, 2018, at Williams Funeral Home in Columbia, TN, beginning at 1 p.m. Burial will follow at Polk Memorial Gardens. Allen Armstrong is officiating. The family will receive friends on Sunday evening from 4:00 until 8:00 p.m. at the funeral home.

Tristan is survived by his mother: Erica Cates of Columbia; father: Scott (Christina) Damron of New Johnsonville; sisters: Kayla, Taylor, Tiffany, Lidia Damron and Ashley Archambault; grandparents: Beverly (Tommy) O’Guin of Summertown, Sheila (Les) Damron of Williamsport, and Gary (Barbara) Calvert of Summertown. A host of aunts, uncles, and cousins also survive him.

Pallbearers will be Steven Odom, David Adams, Nick Quillen, Hayden Farmer, Matthew Westerfield, and Justin Morton. Coworkers from Sonic in Summertown will serve as honorary pallbearers.
