The time Tripp Halstead visited a Georgia movie set

Tripp died Thursday night at 7. His passing has thousands of supporters offering condolences .

Stacy Halstead and her husband Bill dedicated their lives to caring for their son after a tree limb struck him five years ago, leaving him with a traumatic brain injury. They were determined Tripp would enjoy life as much as possible - and so were thrilled at the opportunity for a Hollywood encounter.

In May 2014, Tripp was the celebrity guest at an advance screening of "Blended." The movie, as a couple who meet first on a disastrous blind date but reconnect at a family resort, had its premiere at the AMC Parkway Pointe 15 in Cobb County.  

As the lights dimmed, Stacy Halstead leaned in close to her baby.
