Jesse Weaver Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jesse Webster Weaver on February 19, 2026, at the age of 75. Born on July 31, 1950, in Harveysburg, Ohio, Jesse was a proud and devoted husband, father, and friend. He is preceded by his parents, Charles and Elizabeth Weaver, sisters, Margaret Woodard and Hope Cooper, brother, Charlie Weaver and mother-in-laws, Shirley Davis Naylor and Ethel Duncan Naylor.

Jesse's journey in life was marked by service and dedication. He honorably served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War with the esteemed 1st Aviation Brigade. His commitment to his country was just the beginning of a life characterized by hard work and integrity. Upon returning home, he dedicated many years to his career at R&L Trucking, where he made lasting contributions to the industry and formed strong bonds with coworkers and friends.

Jesse was a man of faith, deeply cherishing his relationship with God. He held his family close to his heart, and his love for his wife, Vicky Weaver, was evident to all who knew them. He took immense pride in creating a nurturing environment for his loved ones, always putting family first. Besides his wife, he is also survived by his son, Christopher Shannon, sister, Phala Weaver, brothers-in-law, Duke Woodard, Bob Cooper, Gary (Carol Ann) Naylor and Danny (Lisa) Naylor, sisters-in-law, Soundra Weaver and Pam (Ron) Williams, father-in-law, Robert Naylor and many loved nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends.

A Celebration of Life will be 11 a.m. on Tuesday February 24, 2026 at the Hillsboro Church of Christ. Following the celebration, we will have military rites conducted by the Highland County Honor Guard.

Friends may call from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday February 23, 2026 at the church.

Thompson Funeral Home has the honor of serving the family.
