He was obnoxious at times. He was opinionated.
But his friends will remember him as a “big-mouthed rock star.”
Kreiser, who was known for being the frontman and/or promoter for many Northwest Florida metal bands, such as Bomb Threat, In Harm’s Way, Television Graveyard and Holding God Hostage, died Dec. 30 in a hit-and-run incident.
The collision occurred about 8 p.m. Dec. 30 as Kreiser was walking along U.S. Highway 98 near East Timberlake Drive in Florosa.
A white vehicle traveling west in the inside lane of traffic struck Kreiser, 44, then fled the scene, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
