Timothy Jon Weight

Timothy J. Weight, 68, of Georgetown, Texas, passed this earth October 24, 2025, surrounded by all his family. Born in Manhattan, KS, Tim grew up in many parts of the US before his family settled in Lee's Summit, MO. His higher education started in Nebraska where he studied pre-medicine. After deciding medicine wasn't his forte, he transferred to the University of Missouri at Rolla (now Missouri S&T) to follow in his dad's footsteps of electrical engineering. Still too stuffy for him he changed to Mining Engineering and graduated with a BSMinE in the winter of 1981. He married his sweetheart, Pat, whom he met at Rolla, in February, 1982. His first professional job landed him in Childress, TX, where he became the Childress Area Engineer of TxDOT. Tim and his family later moved to Georgetown where he notably was responsible for the construction of the Central Texas Turnpike Project which included design-bid-build and alternative delivery method of design build. Quick to pass all praise and accolades to those who worked with him, Tim eventually was recognized as the Unsung Hero for his humility. Tim was also rewarded for his outstanding service in highway engineering with the Dewitt C. Greer award. One of the highest honors TxDOT bestows on an engineer. Upon his retirement after 30+ years with TxDOT, Tim moved to the consultant arena with HW Lochner providing his expertise as Director of Construction Services for the firm's Texas markets.

Away from the office, Tim tinkered in his shop that he and various family and friends built. He offered his expertise readily, at times whether you wanted it or not! The next "the boys" fishing trip to Texoma was being planned and organized before the gear was stored from the last event. Stories and tales were told and repeated growing with each iteration. His quick wit was infectious. He filled our days with laughter, warmth and memories.

He is preceded in death by his parents, John and Genie Weight, and brother Greg Weight. Tim is survived by his wife of almost 44 years, Pat; daughter Nichole Fitzpatrick (Shawn); son Matthew Weight (Braden); daughter Mikayla DeMaio (Jack); grandchildren Logan and Kaley Fitzpatrick, Avery and Finley Weight, Asher and Stetson DeMaio; sisters Beki Weight (Kevin Groenwald) and Lori Weight Siemons (Bret); multiple nieces and cousins.

He loved fiercely, worked tirelessly, gave generously and lived vibrantly. He will be deeply missed.
