Had the pleasure of meeting Kreis at my first BRG back in 2012. Super nice gentleman. He gave me his business card "The ST Shop". Wonder if anyone know if it is still in business? RIP Kreis and god bless you.
No longer in business, it was . . . a one man shop.

I'm honored he came up to me at Stockton last December and gave me a hug and told me goodbye. He acknowledged the fight was over and it was time to go home to his heavenly father who he knew very well.

Harmon Kreis Weigel, Jr.
1959 - 2018




from Kreis:


“This is being posted on my behalf because I am now with my Savior Jesus Christ and my heavenly Father walking in a new body. Although I still miss you, there is no other place I would rather be. As most of you know I have had a long battle with cancer. It lost - I won!


As I am in Heaven, I’m looking down thinking about you and hope you understand that my faith in God never wavered. I knew I was healed the instant that we prayed together. As much as Satan tried to shake my faith in God, he never did. He and cancer are the losers. I finished my race and am victorious in Heaven today. I challenge you if you do not know Jesus Christ as your Savior to accept Him into your heart as He forgives your sins and He will bring you the peace that only He and the Father can provide.


I look forward to seeing you when your time comes to join me in Heaven.


Come join us for my Celebration of Life.”

We were glad Kreis took time to stop by our table to speak with us at Richard's during Moonshine; quite an inspiration! Though I didn't know him that well, what little time we spent together over the years has left a lasting impression on me. What a fighter!

I plan to attend his services and would be privileged to escort him to his final resting place.

Ride on, Kreis. Ride on...


EDIT- I have reserved a double non smoking room at the Roadway Inn (below) if anyone wants to share. Arrive Friday, leave Sat.

FYI . . .

I just finished looking up all the motel info. There's 10, something for everyone's perks program of choice.


I'm staying at the Rodeway Inn, where I usually stay, as it's the only old style one that I can park my bike in front of my hotel room door. Least expensive rate is online, use the AAA rate, it's the best one there, and in the comments section, let them know you want a room you can park in front of the room door. Follow up with a phone call to the hotel to hopefully confirm you get a ground floor room not blocked by landscaping.


Rodeway Inn, 814 Brakebill Rd, Knoxville, TN. They're a Choice Privileges member.
direct: (865) 246-3600


All the hotels are close together, so pick whichever works best for you.
Call or text me anytime: (850) 460-1111
