Carl Howard Weaver

I first met Carl over 40 years ago.Over that time. I came to love him as a father, older brother and best friend. He embodied much that I have aspired to, but will never be. Carl had the courage to confront what he felt to be wrong or unfair, and to some who did not know him, often presented a gruff and tough exterior. His love and tender care of animals was but a small portion of the complex "inside".

I am thankful to have sailed through most of my life with him near. Our obscure...

Carl and LaVonne bought Linden Springs Farm, where we had lived for many years, when we decided to move into town. They loved it as we did.
Carl will certainly be missed by those in the Linden Hall community, as well as a much wider circle of people he touched during his life. Peace.

Carl Weaver was a great teacher who taught a lot more than just wood shop. The students really respected him and he returned that respect. He included many life lessons with his shop instruction and even after nearly 40 years, his classes are still one of my favorite memories of my time in high school. Thank you for everything Mr. Weaver!

Sorry to hear of Carls passing. He taught a woodshop class I was in years ago at State High. Carl was a good teacher. My great uncle Russ Evey would talk about Carl and how he liked him.

Lavonne and family,

Many of us will greatly miss Carl. While it took me some time to realize it, I have come to view him and his beliefs as a replica of Don Quixote. He acted stern and tough at times, but tempered it with genuine empathy. He spoke loudly when he saw injustice to assist those who might not be willing or able to speak out. He mounted a mythical charger and fought the dragons he encountered and put them to rest.

With all of the above, he truly cared...

Susie and Debbie,
With the death of our parents, it’s hard not to recognize the inevitable passing of time. Parents should be eternal, always there, always available for advice and guidance, never growing old and leaving us on our own. My deepest condolences on the loss of your father; he lived a life that is no longer found today, but I think so many people wish they could have. I always thought your dad would make a great Marlboro Man; cowboy-tough, weathered, experienced. Not many...

Carl will always be remembered for the respect he received and gave to the students that were lucky enough to have him at State High.
I found him to be someone I have admired since our paths crossed in wood shop around 1971-72, while I was forging a "get out of class" pass. My reaction, as I turned my head to see Mr. Weaver watching over my shoulder was quite terrifying, to say the least. Those massive arms and gentle grin were quite the combination.
We laughed about that many...

Bill G. & family, I'd like to offer my condolences on your loss. God Bless.
