Tragic, inspiring, lifesaving - the Graham Redner legacy

With the one-year birthday of their late son on the horizon, a local family wants tragedy to turn to hope and awareness

On April 5, 2025, Graham Redner was born.

Over the Christmas break, Graham was in hospital with influenza A, which eventually led to cardiac arrest and tragically he passed away.

Graham’s mother Tristin says she, her husband Dan, along with children Gavin and Everly, want to create hope and raise awareness.

The Foxboro mother spoke to Quinte News about a decision the family made during Graham’s passing.

“Graham was an organ donor.  He just had the sweetest, kindest personality, and I wanted to keep the kindness going.”
