    Weaver should still be with us to make the world a better place, but in this imperfect world, nothing lasts forever. I loved Weaver for the many conversations we had, his keen insight into people even as a teenager in high school, his dry humor, and for his loving ways. Go With God Gracious young man…..my condolences to the family.

    My prayers and condolences to Ronnie and the family. He was a quiet special man and at times a teaser especially during softball time, back in the day. Rest in peace, Weaver, and play catch with your bro, Chris.

    Ronnie. I haven’t seen you in many years, but have kept track of your life through friends. Those friends talked about how much you loved your family so I know your heart is broken. For the comfort it will give you, know that a friend in AZ is thinking of you and your loss. His photo reminds me so much of you. Toy Pugh Rolston

    To Ashley and family, my condolences. And I hope that these promises from the Bible will help you endure the loss of Weaver, for Jehovah is the God of all comfort. “Do not be anxious…..but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 26:4; 2 Corinthians 1:3-4; Philippians 4:6-7 NWT. Peace, and many happy memories of Weaver be with you all.
