In loving memory of Tristin Lane Thorp, age 23, of Waco, Texas.

Tristin is survived by his grieving parents, Robert and Melissa Shipp, and his adored siblings: Kyle and wife DezMarie Neal, Michael Shipp and girlfriend Sarah, Shawn Shipp, Dakota and wife Jennifer Thorp, Koleton and wife, Anneliese Thorp, and his only sister Kristin Thorp.

As well as his Mimi Karen Merriman.

Tristin, a loving uncle, cherished five nephews (Vance, Jeremiah, Kye, Kaidan, & Oliver) and one niece (Evelyn) showering them with affection and adoration.
He found joy in family bonds and cherished the moments spent with them.
Tristin's vibrant spirit, paired with his humor and goofiness, made him a source of joy for all who knew him.
He dedicated himself to bringing laughter into the lives of others, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and happiness.

Tristin's journey was touched by the passing of his pa, Dwayne Merriman, and he is now reunited with him in eternal peace.
Along the way, he gathered a multitude of friends and family who will forever cherish the memories they shared with him.

Tristin's departure leaves a void that will be deeply felt, yet the laughter he spread and the love he shared will echo in our hearts always.
May he rest in peace.
