Roy Weightman, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 23, 2025, in Evansville, Indiana, leaving behind a legacy of love and unwavering dedication to his family.

While his daughter Theresa Weightman and son Michael Weightman, as well as his grandson David Weightman, brothers Teddy and Robbie Weightman, and his parents Cecil and Thelma Jane Weightman preceded him in death, the memories they shared continue to resonate within the family.

Roy's career as a plumber was a testament to his work ethic and his belief in giving his all, no matter the task. He took pride in his work and was a respected member of his profession, always ready to lend a helping hand or share his expertise with colleagues and those in need. His involvement in various associations within his trade further exemplified his commitment to his craft and his community.

His friendly demeanor and selfless nature meant that friends and family always felt welcomed and loved in his presence. He was the embodiment of a loving spirit, always putting others before himself and ensuring that his family never went without.

Roy's interests were as diverse as his skills. He found joy in the simplest of pleasures, whether it was sharing a story, a hearty laugh with friends, or simply spending time with his loved ones. His presence was a source of comfort and strength, and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life was a rare gift that will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
