                                      WEAVER

Thomas J.Weaver, age 93, passed away peacefully at home on September 26, 2022. 
Tom was born in Ionia July 29, 1929 to Edward and Sylvia Weaver. He graduated 
from St.Peter and Paul Catholic High school in 1948. In 1951 he enlisted by the 
Army to serve his country (and lose his hearing) in Korea. After Korea he came 
back to Ionia and started working for General Motors in Lansing.

He eventually met and married Arlene J.Reed in 1956. They were married for 58 
years and had 4 children. While the boys were young, he coached little league. 
Tom was very active in the Catholic Church, and was on the First Parish Council. 
He served as Grand Knight for the Knights of Columbus and was on the council for 
the Southwest Columbia Squires. Tom was also a member of the VFW. Every 
Thanksgiving he would go up north with his buddies to go "hunting" which really 
meant playing cards and drinking beer. Tom loved to golf and would go on golf 
trips to Wisconsin with his sons. One of Tom's greatest joys in life were his 
grandchildren. They had many memorable travels and outings, even if that just 
meant breakfast at Bosley's Pharmacy.

After Arlene's passing, he met and married Margaret Breckon in 2016 and gained 3 
step-daughters.

Surviving are his children, Marty (Randi), Jim (Tonetta), Greg (Lori), Carrie 
(Steve). Step-daughters, Suzie (Doug), Mary, and Sally (Randy). Sister Edna 
Keeney of Belding, sister-in-law Pat Miller and Bev. Weaver. And many 
grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by brothers, Charlie, Joe and Bernie. Sisters Norine, 
Clara and Ruth.

A memorial will be held October 4th at Lake Funeral Home in Ionia at 1:00 with 
visitation starting at 12:00 p.m., 3521 S.State Rd.,Ionia. A burial service will 
follow at Mt.Oliver Cemetery, 300 4th St., Ionia.
