Obituary of Carl Wayne Weaver
Carl Wayne Weaver, 79, passed away on Thursday, February 18, 2021 at his home in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He was born in Findlay, Ohio on January 2, 1942, to the late Mack Hayden Weaver and Annabelle Ruth (Wehrle) Weaver, along with brother, John M. Weaver of North Carolina; sister, Mary Lee (Weaver) Morris of Texas; and brother, Roy Weaver (deceased) of Indiana. Carl married Patti Jo (Sherrill) Weaver on November 10, 1984, sharing 36 years together building a life around their children and grandchildren. Many of their fondest family memories were created during trips to Casey Key, Florida, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Carl worked for Food Marketing as a truck driver for 51 years with over 2 million safely driven miles. Although he enjoyed retirement, Carl did not sit still. He utilized his Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to volunteer with Parkview Hospital, driving their mobile mammogram unit. He continued to maintain his CDL and worked with Indiana Auto Auction and then drove for Penske Trucking until his passing. Carl loved to dance the jitterbug, and was known for his outgoing personality as it was often said that he “never met a stranger.” He also loved having coffee and breakfast with old classmates and staying in touch with lifelong friends. Carl enjoyed watching sports, was a die-hard Chicago Cubs fan and a lifelong IU Basketball enthusiast. Although he was a fan of many sports, his greatest joy was watching his sons and grandsons play baseball and football. Carl is survived by his wife, adult children, grandchildren and a great-granddaughter. A private family funeral service will be held. Visitation will be from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Tuesday, February 23, 2021 at D.O. McComb and Sons Pine Valley Park Funeral Home (1320 East Dupont Road, Fort Wayne). Carl’s patriotism was evident through his passion for politics and his admiration and support of our Veterans. Memorial contributions in Carl's honor may be made to Shepherd’s House of Fort Wayne, or Honor Flight.
