Kevin and Tamara Nash received support from Kevin Nash’s “Kliq This” podcast co-host Sean Oliver who took to Twitter to pay tribute to Tristen Nash.
“I met a great young man this year named Tristen. He worked with me and his dad on a podcast we have, and proved to be smart, sweet, savvy, witty, and mature beyond his mere handful of years. There were big things coming for him, but it was not to be,” he wrote.
Continuing, Oliver wrote, “The unfairness of our short time on Earth rears it’s ugly head again and we are rendered speechless. To steal a heart so pure, full of potential, is cruelty beyond understanding. Won’t try. I have his last text to me: ‘Love you man.’ I read it 50 times in 2 days [and], T, I’m gonna read it a lot more.”
