Paule Seeger refuses to let her son be forgotten.

Friends and family gathered on April 22, at Ben Lee Park in Kelowna to remember 15-year-old Tristan Seeger on the sixth-month anniversary of his homicide death.

Seeger misses her son鈥檚 laugh and 鈥渢he fact that he lived life hard.鈥� She said when Tristan found something interesting he threw his whole self into learning more about it.

鈥淗e was just unafraid, and we need more of that,鈥� Seeger added.

Laughter and tears were shared over pizza at an afternoon picnic near the bench that has become Tristan鈥檚 memorial for the past six months.

鈥淚 want to thank whoever鈥檚 bench it is who has allowed us to use it as a memorial for Tristan,鈥� Seeger said.

The city has agreed to have another bench installed overlooking the Ben Lee skate park in memory of Tristan, one of the teenager鈥檚 favourite spots in Kelowna.

The 15-year-old was run over and killed near the park on Oct. 21, 2023. Tristan died of his injuries the following day.
