Triten John Heber was born November 4, 1999 in Aberdeen, SD to Joe Heber and Jessica Sheridan. He grew up in Ashton and attended school in Mellette, SD. Triten’s pride and joy was his dog, Yoda, whom he called “Yoda Bear." They spent countless hours together cuddling and watching movies. He looked forward to every Tuesday when the new release movies were available and late night trips to Walmart with his Mom to get the newest game because he just had to play it that night. His favorite movie was “Fast and Furious” and he always said he lived life a quarter mile at a time. His motto was “ride or die."
Triten was known for his love of music, knowing the words to every song, and singing his heart out. Triten loved spending time with his best friend, Mark Phillips, and called him his “Ride or Die” partner. He also loved spending time with his cousins Ashlyn, Jayde, and Ayden and the girls he came to know and love as his sisters McKenzie, McKayla and Shaylee.
Triten is a hero. He’s stronger than the hulk, smarter than batman, and funnier than all one million of the minions. He was the best of the best and those who were a part of his life were truly blessed.
