VICTORVILLE, CA : Silverado senior Tristyn Madole remembered after crash on Tuesday, 28th April, 2020

Receiving a phone call about the death of a loved one is never easy.

It’s likely harder still when you’re on the other side of the country and you learn your younger sister was killed in a motorcycle crash.

Austin Faux, a member of the Navy stationed in Virginia, described Tristyn Shae Madole as his best friend.

He said Wednesday he’s not stopped crying since finding out Tristyn, 17, was killed in a motorcycle crash Tuesday afternoon on Bear Valley Road.

Memories of her laugh and smile bring comfort, he said, but then reality sinks in.

“I tried every day to lead her in the right path,” Faux said. “She was sweet, funny, loving and had the best smile. I’m going to miss the big hug I would get from her every time I came home. She is the greatest part of my life and now she walks with the Lord. I look forward to a big hug when I see her again.”

San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner officials said Tristyn was pronounced dead at the scene of a multi-vehicle crash in the 14000 block of Bear Valley Road. Sheriff’s officials said the collision was under investigation by the Major Accident Investigation Team. Additional information was not immediately available.

Madole was a senior at Silverado High School, according to Iggy Garcia, a teacher and the school’s athletic director.

Garcia said he exchanged emails with her Monday night regarding school work.
