Michael Steven Mike Weaver

Mike was born April 8, 1975 in Phoenix, Arizona, the son of Michael Wayne and Janet Weaver.

Mike was a 1993 graduate of Saguaro High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. He proudly served in the United States Navy for 4 years aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln during Desert Storm. He served in Desert Storm and was a member of the VFW. He was also a bartender. He was always witty and quick with a comeback, had a twinkle in his eye and the best smile ever. Easily stood up for himself and those he loved. Mike was loved more than he'll ever know. A loved father, son, husband, and friend. A laugh that made you happy. He was fluent in Spanish and English. An amazing ASE certified mechanic. A Chevy man at heart, but also flirted with Dodge, Willys and AMC. Sensitive and sweet. Quiet and cool. Always had the right thing to say at the right time. Loved guns, cars, shooting pool, a good beer (Budweiser), his kids and family, dogs, military, Mickey Mouse, classic rock, Rage Against the Machine, Mooneyes and Rat Fink memorabilia, and this country. He hated fake people, thieves, liars and some people's kids. The world will be a little darker without him. We love you Mike!! You are one of a kind!
