Gregg Paul Weisser was born in Wagner on August 7, 1964 to Harvey and Darlene (Permann) Weisser. He died Saturday, August 6, 2022, surrounded by his family, at the Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls, from complications of an unknown pulmonary disease.

Gregg graduated from Wagner High School in 1982. He was united in marriage to Lisa Houska in Avon on September 8, 1984.

Gregg started fixing tires at age 14 in the family business, Weisser Oil. He was driving the mobile service truck by age 16. He carried on the family business until they sold the business in 2016. In 2019, he started his own tire business in rural Springfield, the Scuffed Knuckle Garage.

Gregg loved helping people. He was always there for his customers, no matter the time of day or what he had going on. He never met a stranger and always loved to strike up a conversation with anyone. Gregg's favorite pastime was bragging about his wife and he always answered her phone calls with "Hello beautiful". Gregg will be remembered for his late night conversations with his kids, for enjoying a good cigar with a Disaronno, and spending time with his grandson, Daschle, and telling everyone he could about him.

Gregg was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church in Avon and former member of St. John Lutheran Church in Wagner, where he served as an elder. He was a past member of the Wagner Labor Day Committee. Gregg served as a Cub Scout and Boy Scout leader for many years.
