Jerry Weaver Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jerry was a devoted husband, Dad, Granddad, and Brother. He retired from management at Tyson Foods (formerly Hudson Foods) 19 years ago. He was a well-respected and valued employee. His presence was definitely known when he came through the plant with his entourage in tow. He led with a firm but fair hand. Jerry lived a life of love and hard work. He was lovingly known as "Poppa Jo" / "Pops" by his 14 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren. His happiest times were spent with his "Bride," sharing a cigar with his grandsons, sitting on the porch with his family, watching Alabama football and Gunsmoke, and feeding his dog, Jax.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents; infant son, Donald; grandson, Cameron Blake Weaver; brothers Michael, Randy, and Mark Weaver; and son-in-law, David Lancaster.
Jerry is survived by his beautiful, loving wife of 65 years, Joann Malone Weaver; daughters Jana (Jerry) Ponder, Joanna Lancaster, Angel (Richie) O'Connor; son Jeremy (Julia) Weaver; brothers Larry (Jeanne), Steve (Kathy), Jeff (Michelle) Weaver; and sister-in-law Kay (Tim) Lewis.
