Adam Jacob Weaver

With broken hearts, we share the passing of Adam Jacob Weaver, lovingly known as A.J. or "Bookie," who died by suicide at the age of 22.

Born on September 25, 2002, to Vivian and Greg Weaver, Adam was raised in Wasilla, Alaska, where he attended Knik Goose Bay Elementary, Wasilla Middle School, and Reddington Senior High. He also excelled at the Alaska Military Youth Academy, graduated from Matsu Central, and most recently studied electrical work at Job Corps in Oregon.

Adam had a heart that felt deeply and a soul that saw the world in ways many could not. Sensitive, reflective, and often pondering life's biggest questions, he loved music-especially the lyrics-movies, retro styles, and long talks about everything from conspiracy theories to human nature. He had an uncanny ability to quote his favorite films and make others laugh with his sharp wit and goofy impressions.

He cherished time spent with his family-vacations in Florida with his Abuelito and Abuelita, and a myriad of aunties, uncles, and countless cousins, He loved learning to drive heavy equipment and learning life skills with his Grandpa Greg, and deep conversations ranging from deep faith to conspiracy theories with Grandma Pam, and countless adventures at the family cabins. His mom made every holiday magical and every meal a memory. His wit and humor came straight from his dad who he missed more than the air he breathed.

Adam shared a profound bond with his younger brother and best friend, Wyatt, along with their lifelong friends and another sibling set, Nathan and Dillan-the self-dubbed "Vogie Boys"-they created a brotherhood built on laughter, loyalty, and adventures that will echo through generations.

One of Adam's greatest joys was the chocolate-brown classic Lincoln Town Car he bought last year. It looked like it rolled straight out of an old gangster movie-and so did he when he got behind the wheel, grinning ear to ear.

He loved walks in the woods with his dad and hiking Bear Mountain with his family. He and Wyatt practically wore the wheels off their mini-John Deere exploring their childhood home of ten acres.

Adam's path in life was not without hardship. He was open about his struggles with deep sadness and grief, especially after the passing of his father two years ago who he loved and missed fiercely. His openness and vulnerability were a testament to his strength and the depth of his love for others. He recently shared with his family that he had learned to love himself while he was away studying at Job Corps.

Among all of Adam's cherished relationships, the bond he shared with his mom, Vivian, was extraordinary. He adored her and held her in the highest regard- his constant, and his biggest fan. She was a guiding light through all life's highs and lows.

In his final moments with her, Adam gave her three long hugs before leaving the house. But even that wasn't enough-for either of them. He put his car in reverse, came back, and said, "One more hug, Mom," as he wrapped her in one last embrace.

Though his time with us was far too short, Adam's impact on those who knew and loved him will endure forever. He was a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin, and a friend to so many.

He was deeply loved, and he will be missed more than words can ever express.

A celebration of life will be held this Sunday, August 10th, 2025 @ 3:00pm at The Barn Matsu 6013 N Crested Butte Dr., Wasilla, Alaska, 99654 with Pastor James Clous officiating and a reception to follow to honor Adam's memory.

All who and loved Adam and his family are welcome to attend.

Adam is preceded in death by his dad Greg Weaver and uncles Edwin Collado and Hippe Collado.

He is survived by his mom Vivian, brother Wyatt, grandparents Mercedes & Maximo Collado, Pam & Greg Weaver, aunties Dori, Amy, and Jill, Uncle Freddy, cousins Jesse, Kaley, Lauren, Freddie, Nico, Alex, Eddie, Bella, Rocco, Olivia, and Avery and countless loving family members and friends.
