OLANTA - John Wesley Weaver, born on Tuesday, August 4, 1953, peacefully passed away at his residence, on Monday, November 3, 2025. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, John left a profound impact on those who knew him. John didn't just have friends. Everyone was his family. If you were one of his, you had everything he had, anytime you needed him.
Raised in the heart of South Carolina, John dedicated his life to his family and community. He honorably served his country as a member of the U.S. Army National Guard. John was a self-taught mechanic, engineer and machinist. He spent his entire life building, repairing and designing for career and personal challenge. There was nothing he couldn't figure out and master. He spent the final 20 year of his career as lead maintenance technician at NanYa Plastics.
John was an active member of the Beulah Masonic Lodge #254 in Olanta, where he formed lasting friendships and faithfully served his community. His generous spirit and kindness will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
John is survived by his devoted wife of 21 years, Traci Eaddy Weaver, and his loving children, Jonathan Cory (Racquel) Weaver of Tulsa, OK, and daughter Tonya Kirby of Olanta. His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren, Reagan, Ty, Kriston (Justen), Kristopher (Magan), and five great-grandchildren. John is also fondly remembered by his parents-in-law, Larry and Joan Eaddy, and a number of nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne' D. and Gertie S. Weaver, as well as his two brothers, Terrace Weaver and Christie Weaver.
A Celebration of Life event will be planned for a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests memorial donations be made to the McLeod Hospice Program, 1203 E. Cheves Street, Florence, SC 29506, in John's memory.
