Conway was born Dec. 13, 2021, in Omaha to Andrew and Sarah (Carlson) Griess.

Though his time with us was short, he left a remarkable impact on so many hearts. He was born with immense strength that was felt through all who knew him. Though the odds were against him, he showed his strength through everything he endured.

His days at home outside of the hospital were spent being loved, seeing family, going to church, and being snuggled by his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was happiest in his mom’s arms, listening to his dad’s fishing and hunting stories and watching his brother Owen, and sister, Lyla, play with him and read him bedtime books.

He was preceded in death by all of his great-grandparents; his cousins, Izaac and Kaylee; and his great uncle, Gayln.

He is survived by his parents, Andy and Sarah Griess; brother, Owen; sister, Lyla; paternal grandparents, Papa “Mike Griess” and Grandma Patti; maternal grandparents, Papa Old Man “Gerry Carlson”; and Grandma Jerri; uncles and aunts, numerous cousins, friends, and all who loved him through his short time here on earth.
