Dwight "Huck" D. Weaver

Dwight Dewayne “Huck” Weaver was born in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas on March 31, 1936 and died May 4, 2016 in Willcox, Arizona. The real problem with writing an obituary recording his life is, “How do you write a one paragraph summary that memorializes the example he set for his children and grandchildren”. “Huck”, as his friends knew him was highly respected by all. Despite the devious moniker of his namesake his peers knew him as a sincere man who’s determination and drive resulted in success in a variety of fields such as, turning a wrench, riding a bull, strumming a string in a bluegrass band, delivering watermelons as a over-the-road trucker, racing motorcycles in desert races, honorably serving his country in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict or reaching up and touching the Face of God as a Pilot. His children and grandchildren will remember him as the standard he set for how to treat a spouse, family member, friend’s and even respect due to an acknowledged rival. Dwight is survived by his wife of 10 years Judi Weaver of Pearce, Arizona. He was preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Janet V. Weaver. Huck and Janet are survived by their children James Weaver and his wife Lea of Gallup, New Mexico, Cheryl and her husband Larry Stolte of Girard, Kansas and Sharlett and her husband Hector Corral of Gallup, New Mexico. Grandpa Huck’s thoughtful guidance will be sorely missed by his grandchildren, Christopher Weaver, Amanda Weaver, Adam Stolte, Angela Siess, Meggan Phipps, Jason Corral, Linda Corral, Stephen Corral and Tina Lujan, as well as his 13 great grandchildren. Huck’s family thanks the Willcox Hospice team (CWLJH) and the Northern Cochise Community Hospital, palliative care staff for all their attentive end of life services and management. In the end, we all hope we can live by his example: Dwight Weaver knew the man, husband, father, grandfather and friend He wanted to be, so he was. At his request no services will be held. Arrangements entrusted to Westlawn Chapel, Mortuary and Crematory of Willcox, Arizona. You may express condolences at www.westlawnchapelmortuary.com
