Brian Weaver Obituary

Weaver, Brian F. LITTLE RIVER, SC Brian F. Weaver, 51 of Little River, S.C., entered into eternal life on August 9, 2021, after a short but gallant fight with COVID-19 pneumonia. Brian was born on May 22, 1970, in Albany, N.Y., the cherished son of Robert J. and Kristine (Hansen) Weaver of Louisville, Ky. Survivors include his beloved brother, Matthew Weaver (Karel Hibbert) of Louisville, Ky., his wife, Alison Gurreri, and much loved children, Gabriella and Alex of Little River. Brian was predeceased by his precious sisters, Sarah and infant Erin; grandparents, John Sha and Bess Hobbs Weaver and Francis and Margaret Conlon Hansen. Brian also leaves behind several aunts, uncles and cousins. We would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Brian's aunt Judy Parker, aunt Patty Lipscomb and cousin Billy Ace Boardman for their help and assistance in planning Brian's Celebration of Life in New York. Brian was a graduate of Catholic Central High School in Troy, N.Y., where he played both baseball and basketball. He went on to earn his bachelor's degree at Mount St. Mary College in Newburgh, N.Y., where he continued his basketball career as captain of the team. Brian was a fantastic son, brother, nephew, cousin, husband and father who loved life and everyone he met along the way. One of his greatest pleasures was following in his dad's footsteps, coaching both football and basketball with the youth of North Myrtle Beach. He was never happier than when he was coaching his son Alex or sitting in the bleachers cheering on his sweet little girl, Gabby, at her gymnastic meets. He was the ultimate dad. His whole life revolved around his kids. As everyone knows, Brian was a lifelong Steelers fan. He loved the game of golf and played in leagues and tournaments in the Myrtle Beach area. We are grateful for the gift of Brian's life and the blessing of the time we had with him. There will be a celebration of Brian's life in Albany in early October. Arrangements have been entrusted by the family to the John J. Sanvidge Funeral Home, Inc., 565 Fourth Avenue, Troy, NY 12182 .

I was Brian´s basketball coach at SUNY Schenectady back in 1990. He was a Catholic Central grad and I was a Bishop Gibbons grad. We had that in common. Playing in the competitive Diocesan League. Brian was a cerebral player at and great competitor. We had some good conversations off the court. Great guy who will be missed. RIP, Brian

As a Respiratory Therapist, I witnessed more heartache and tragedy from this insidious virus than any person should have to and never thought in a million years, Brian, that you would fall victim. God wanted His special man home way too soon. We will all see that fantastic smile again someday. Bob, Kris and Matt, my prayers for all of you. I am so sorry for your loss. Two very special angels are looking down together now.
