If you know Tristan, then you should show respect. If you don’t, then you shouldn’t assume to know. Speaking as someone who knew him very well (he and I considered each other brothers), his struggles with addiction were his own and not something that should be stated by others imho.

This must be a really rough day for you. Take care of yourself, okay? Make sure you're talking to someone about this, even if it doesn't seem like you need to.

I know him and believe in protecting others by spreading the word.

I’ll respectfully agree to disagree, especially as what you stated isn’t the full story either.

I understand, depression and alcohol is lethal.

Sure, but neither had a direct link to his death. Please stop insinuating things which aren’t true.

I can empathize with your situation and it must be very painful to be there. I hope you had awesome times with him and that you have a great life moving forward.

Thanks! As I said in my eulogy, we had many good times, as well as some bad together, and I cherish them all. Thankfully (as both of us were photographers) I have plenty of amazing photos to relive those memories with.
