Jason Sutherland
November 28, 2024
Man, this is crazy. I was just thinking about him the other day as I was pondering on my high school years, and the impact in which all of the teachers and coaches had made upon my life. My name is Jason Sutherland and I was in the class of 96' in Triad. Mr. Weider was amazing. He was always extremely positive and never seemed to have a bad day. His smile was contagious and was probably my favorite memory of him. He truly had a way to pick you up when you were having a bad day, and he was definitely a lover of sports, and his students the same. He truly had a heart for his profession, and I just wanted to send my heartfelt condolences out to his family and friends. He was truly an amazing man, and I thank him for all of his guidance and wisdom in which helped shape me to be the extremely successful man that I am today. God bless you, Mr. Weider. Today is Thanksgiving, and I am truly thankful to have had your guidance and support in my life. May God bless you for all eternity.
