Tristin Michael Stocksdale

Adventurous, humorous and strong willed, Tristin Michael Stocksdale lived his life to the fullest. Even at a young age, he had a big heart and would do anything to help another person that was in need. The son of Matthew D. Stocksdale and Nikki J. (Krider) Osbun, Tristin was born at Whitley Memorial Hospital in Columbia City, Indiana on October 2, 1996.

He grew up in the Albion and Churubusco area. As a boy he enjoyed playing with his friends, being outside, playing football, mushroom hunting with his family and riding four-wheelers. He attended Central Noble Middle School and would go to graduate from Churubusco High School where he wrestled with the Class of 2015.

Following high school Tristin worked at various jobs trying to fine tune his skills. He learned the skills of welding and fabrication work along with diesel mechanic work and assisting his stepfather with concrete jobs. He was a member of the Sons of the American Legion, Post 246. On August 31, 2018, Tristin married Arizona M. Elliott in Albion. He loved being with his family and adored his sons. He found relaxation being outdoors, being on the water, fishing and hunting. With the adventurous side of him, he enjoyed riding motorcycles, going four-wheeling, taking trips to ride the rollercoasters at Cedar Point and attending a few Monster Jam truck shows.
