i have fond memories of Dave when he visited Leann and me during his frequent visits to Wichita for his work in the 1960s and 1970s. A great guy whose visits we greatly enjoyed.
Deep condolences on the loss of your wonderful father. We also send comfort, peace and sympathy. Thinking of you all today. Blessings from Frank and Lynn

What an amazing father, husband and grandfather Dave Weaver was. He set the bar high for those of us who knew him. I remember telling Dave he was my “idol” for retiring at the age of 49 or 50. I was so jealous but I know he earned that retirement through hard work and dedication. He built his dream home at the Lake of the Ozark and was kind enough to let us visit from time to time and what great host and hostess he and his wife were.
You will be missed but not forgotten. Prayers for you and your family!
What an amazingly long life Mr. Weaver had! His influence and legacy have certainly been passed on to his children, grandchildren and family members. God definitely blessed David and Vera Mae with quality lives here on earth, and now he has gained everlasting life in heaven with Jesus. ❤️
Bruce, sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. What a memorable 100 years he had. We remember visiting with him at Matt’s wedding and his quick wit. Thinking of you and your family during this time.
What a grand man this man was and remains with me. From high school days with Bruce to weekends at the Lake of the Ozarks. Such a fair and gentle man. Never talked down to us. Always an ally and friend. Such a great example he always set. God Bless.
Bruce we are so sorry about the passing of your dad. What a life he had and and I know you have great memories . You were a great son to him in many ways !
Grandpa Weaver was truly one of the most patient and giving persons I have ever known. He was always a calming voice of reason and willing to lend a hand in any situation. His graciousnous and paitents were surpassed only by his love for his family, and his goodness lives on through all of us. He will be missed by all that shared his life, and I will carry the leasons he shared with me always.
Bruce,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We remember your dad as a very kind and thoughtful man. He and your mom were gracious hosts when we stayed at their home on our Ozark trips. It was always a pleasure visiting with them. And what a dancer he was at Matt’s wedding! He will be missed by many.
My thoughts and prayers are with Bruce and all of the Weaver family. I’m very sorry for your loss and hope you have good days ahead.
I remember Dave as being a very kind gentle man, from visiting numerous times with him and Vera May at Bruce and Janet’s house and joining us for a visit at Mark Twain Lake while camping. My last fondest memory of him was watching him dance with Kassey at her and Matt’s wedding a few years ago, he was quite the dancer.
Grandpa Weaver was the kindest soul I have ever known. He was patient and quiet but loved big! He was a teacher, a listener, and a truly amazing man. I have some of the fondest memories visiting him and Grandma Vera Mae at the Lake of the Ozarks. He taught life lessons just by being himself and he made the world a better place. A light dims at our loss but Grandma just got her hero back. I hope they are dancing right now. Thank you for a beautiful life you shared with us!
