Tristan Manigault

Tristan Lamar Manigault, 37, of Port Wentworth, GA (formerly of Johns Island, SC), passed away on August 30, 2024. A proud United States Marine, Tristan carried his service and sense of duty into every part of his life. He treasured his role as a father and placed his daughter at the center of his world.

Friends and family recall Tristan for his steady presence: someone who stood up for others, worked hard, and approached life with a calm resolve. He took pride in his service to the nation and in the bonds he kept with fellow veterans and community members. Those who knew him describe a man who found meaning in family gatherings, small acts of kindness, and the daily rhythms of parenthood.

Tristan’s life was marked by loyalty to loved ones and a commitment to supporting those around him. He spent time between the Savannah area and Johns Island, where he built relationships that mattered deeply to him. Though details shared publicly focus on verified facts about his service and family, the messages left in his guestbook and by those who spoke after his passing emphasize his warmth as a father and friend.

A public viewing and a celebration of life with military honors were held to honor Tristan’s life and service. These services offered a place for family, friends, and community to gather, remember the moments that defined him, and offer comfort to his daughter and those closest to him.

Tristan’s family asks that remembrances celebrate the life he lived—his role as a devoted father, his service as a Marine, and the steady kindness he offered to others. He will be remembered for the love he showed his daughter and for the quiet strength he brought to his community.
