Christopher Lee Weaver, age 24, left this life for his eternal one in heaven on January 26, 2005, as a result of combat action in Iraq.
He is survived by his parents, David D. and Sharon Kay Weaver of Spotsylvania, VA; a sister, Carly Marie Weaver of Cambridge, MD and his fiancee, Danell Weaver of McLean, VA.
Though born in Charleston, SC on August 15, 1980, he was a lifelong resident of Virginia. Christopher graduated from Chancellor High School in 1998. He was a lifelong Boy Scout, receiving an Eagle Scout rank from Troop 179. He received a bachelors degree in History with a minor in Parks and Recreational Management from Virginia Tech in 2002. He became a Marine Reservist while in college and had served in the Marines for six years. Shortly before his orders to Iraq were received, he had been employed by Bechtel Nevada in Las Vegas, NV.
Christopher was a quiet, intelligent young man with a profound love of history, hiking, camping, bicycling and skiing. He will be remembered above all for his kindness and devotion to family and friends, and for what he felt was his duty to give back to society and his country.
Visitation will be held Friday, February 4 at 9 a.m., followed by a funeral service at 10 a.m., at COVENANT FUNERAL HOME, 4801 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Fredericksburg, VA, with the Reverend Aubrey Whitten leading the services. Burial will be at 12 noon at Quantico National Cemetery with full military honors.
