The teen attended Weiner High School where he was well liked.

"His smile, his laughter and his love of live will really be missed around here," said Chuck Hanson, superintendent of Weiner Schools. "He was well liked by most of the kids. We're just all really going to miss him."

Hanson, who was Greeno's principal for two years, said the teen played golf and baseball for the school. Fellow classmates held a special memorial service for him Monday night, coming together to mourn the loss of their friend.
