I'm so sad and sorry for your loss. Tristan was human sunshine, the most formidable quizzer, Harry Potter trivia expert and had the best taste in shirts and musicals. Everyone who met him even in just in passing at a party (or on a lockdown zoom quiz) remembered him and was struck by his energy and enthusiasm. He was lovely in the truest sense of the word and I'm so so sorry that he's gone.

My deepest condolences to the family - Tristan was a lovely, kind and caring man. I have very fond memories of camping trips and festivals with him in our youth - absolutely devasted to hear of his passing. Wishing the family all the best and sending lots of love.

Sundays at Limeuil Church, Dordogne, came alive when Family Albrecht arrived in the late 1990s, with young Tristan leading the way as if seats were limited.
In fact the joyous scramble was to find a lap to sit on for much of the English speaking service. To Tristan and his sisters, members of the congregation were
really part of an extended family, uncles & aunts at front and back of the church.
Tristan was a friendly, smiling & caring young boy, always ready to help at both services & fund-raising events, especially those down by the river and loved racing around
the church whilst others enjoyed coffee. He will always be remembered with our love & blessings . Rest in Peace. Ian & Gillian.

I am so sorry for your loss. Tristan was a delight to know and lit up every room he walked into. I will remember him as an excellent quizzer and quiz master whose lockdown quizzes would brighten my day. Eurovision watching won't be the same without him.

Most of all I will remember Tristan as kind, funny and caring. It is a privilege to have known him. The world is a poorer place without him.

I was so saddened to hear of Tristan’s passing. Tristan was such a pure, kind hearted and gentle soul. His giggle was so infectious and we shared many laughs during our times growing up alongside one another during my early years in France. I’ll remember him fondly. My sincere condolences to his family, my heart breaks for all of you and your indescribable loss. I will be thinking of you all on the 17th. Much love.

Sending so much love after the loss of the wonderful ray of sunshine that was Tristan. No-one would smash a cheesy pop music quiz like him! He had the best sense of humour, a cheeky glint in his eye and a formidable knowledge of Eurovision. I am so deeply sorry that he is no longer with us but know his warmth and exuberance will never be forgotten.

Tristan, I'm going to miss you dearly. We hadn't known each other for that long, but your strikingly warm personality, positive outlook on life and winsome smile always made me feel at ease.
It's difficult to comprehend that you've gone, but you'll live on forever in our memories. We'll all take our love we have for you and share it around.
Very best wishes on your eternal journey,
Marcus

We first met Tristan and his family in the Prince Noir, a restaurant in Monflanquin. We had not long bought our house in France and we went to dinner with our young son Alexander.
Sitting at a table, deciding what we were going to eat, Alexander decided to go to the loo. Passing a table, a man's voice shouted, "Tristan, sit down!" Alexander looked startled, so I got up and explained that this was my son, not his!
After we had finished eating, we joined the Albrecht tableland were introduced to David, Lucy, Alicia, Tristan, Olivia and Tabatha. The kids were laughing and as kids do become quick friends, as did the parents.
Tristan decided that he wanted to do a sleepover at our house, and Alexander was in full agreement.
All went swimmingly well until it didn't. After a fun afternoon, the boys and I snuggled in the sofa to watch a film, then to bed.
Tristan had other ideas - he wanted to go home, so his father came to collect him, but then Tristan changed his mind and wanted to stay. So, Dad went home empty-handed!

Each time we went to France we socialised a lot with Tristan and his family. All in and out of each others' houses. Every summer Alexander and I would drive down with Sam and George, (his friends from school), and they too became friends with Tristan and his sisters.
A lot of mischief was had, and when they were in their teens, one time they all got drunk at a village festival when David was in hospital and Lucy travelling with work - but happily no harm came of that particular incident, other than some very sore heads!
We used to go to Parc en Ceil and have such fun there, climbing the trees and defending the hillside on a long zip wire. Tristan was always a cheerful and happy boy.
