John Weidig

RICK WEIDIG MERRITT ISLAND John Rick Weidig, 52, after an eight year coura geous battle with cancer, passed away on January 4, 2006 at home. Ricks loving wife, Kem, and son, D.J., stood by his side for the entire battle with his illness. The love and support that he received helped him enjoy his last years to the fullest with never a complaint. Their life together was an E-ticket ride! He was an inspiration to all. Rick was never too busy for his parents, Peter and Isabelle Weidig. He was a devoted and caring son. Rick founded his own com- pany, Rick Weidig Construction, Inc. in 1989, specializing in cus tom homes. The success of his company never overshadowed what life is about, family and friends. He enjoyed throwing parties at a moments notice with a whole circle of friends there at the drop of a hat. When all else failed, Rick could be found on the golf course with his friends. His illness never touched his passion for life. If a man is measured by the number of his true friends, Rick was a giant. A celebration of life will be held at 5 p.m., January 14, 2006 at the North Merritt Island Moose Lodge, 3150 North Courtenay Parkway. Memorial contributions may be made to the Wuestoff Brevard Hospice. Arrangements by locally owned and operated Atlantic Mortuary in Rockledge.
