Robert E. Weber

1948 - 2021

Robert Eugene Weber, son of Edward E. and
Inez E. (Smith) Weber was born December 15,
1948 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was introduced
to the Brethren while attending Manchester College.
Appreciating the Brethren nonresistance
stand, faithfulness in marriage, and other doctrinal
practices he was baptized into the Old
German Baptist Brethren Church on September
4, 1982 to which he remained faithful. He was
a member of the Eel River Old German Baptist
Brethren Church, Silver Lake, Indiana. On July
11, 1987 he was united in marriage to Iris Jane
Miller.
In his early working years, Robert spent six
years as a German teacher in a public school.
He was also a teacher in a private grade school
and worked in a nursing home. For thirty-eight
years, he worked as a Home Health and Hospice
Nursing Assistant for Parkview Hospitals. His
caring, gentle ways were much appreciated in
this field. He retired in 2014.
His Parkinson's led to declining health and
he was taken to Parkview Hospital at Columbia
City, Indiana on Friday, February 12 and passed
away quietly in his sleep February 14, 2021 at the
age of 72 years and 2 months.
He is survived by his wife, Iris; three children,
Sue Ann and husband David Julian, Ryan and
wife Brittany Weber, and Hannah Weber and
friend Denis Meletiche; four grandchildren,
Jorden and Raylen Weber, Isabella and Logan
Weber; three sisters-in-law, Renee and husband
Lee Wallace, Rita and husband Ervin Miller,
Lou Anna and husband Stephen Hufford; many
cousins, nieces, and nephews. Preceding him in
death were his parents, his aunts and uncles,
his father-in-law and mother-in-law, David and
Norma Miller; one grandson, Clay; brother-inlaw,
Rodney Miller and sister-in-law, Yolonda
Miller.
He and his steadiness will be greatly missed
by all who knew him. Because of his Parkinson's
and dementia, many days he did not know if he
was at home, but we rest assured that he does
know he is at home now.
