Triston Grieser, age 22, of Douglas, NE, tragically died on Wednesday, July 31, 2019, in a vehicle accident. Triston was born March 23, 1997 in Marysville, Kansas to Douglas and Michele Grieser and later moved to Hayes, Kansas, before spending many of his formative years in Douglas, NE, where he attended and graduated from high school at Palmyra District OR 1. Triston enthusiastically participated in a diverse array of school activities, including sports (football and wrestling) and music (band, choir, and swing choir). Upon graduating high school, Triston enlisted with the Nebraska Army National Guard, where he honorably served until his death and was posthumously promoted to the rank of Sergeant. Triston also held a number of jobs outside his military service in law enforcement-related positions at the Nebraska State Penitentiary and most recently in IT at NTT Data in Lincoln, NE. Triston loved spending his free time building computers with his father, fishing with friends, getting his hands dirty with cars, and riding his motorcycle. Perhaps most significantly, Triston possessed an irresistible zeal for life, always seeking opportunities to willingly help others, share his signature laugh and infectious smile during moments of joy, and express his deep and inherent kindness and humility toward other people and all living things. Triston was deeply devoted to his family, always among the first to arrive and last to leave gatherings, which perhaps enabled him to taste a few more delicious bites of his grandmother's home cooking, which he so cherished. Triston remains loved by his father, Doug Grieser, of Douglas, NE; mother, Michele Grieser, of Auburn, NE; siblings, Jessie Grieser, Summer Johnson and Tyler Johnson; grandparents, James and Mary Wenz, of Roca, NE, Doris Johnson of Abilene, KS, and Duane Grieser of Lincoln, NE; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and extremely devoted friends. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Alvin Johnson. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, August 6 at 10:30 am at Crete Berean Church. A visitation will be held on Monday, August 5 from 5:00-8:00pm at the Kuncl Funeral Home in Crete, NE. Interment will be at the Blue Valley Cemetery in Crete, NE. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the family.
