JW was born Tuesday, February 7, 1928 in Kemp, OK to Colbert and Zelma (Fleming) Reynolds. He served his country proudly in the US Army during WWII. He married his bride of 67 years, Lora Faye Blankenship on April 24, 1946 in Sherman, TX. JW was member of the Morton Street Church of Christ, a 32nd degree Freemason, and a proud citizen of the Chickasaw Nation. "Poppa" enjoyed tending to his cattle, and honky tonkin' around the states seeing some of country music's greatest "stars," just to spin his sweetheart around the dance floor. Weldon loved to travel with his children and grandchildren. He liked taking his RV's on trips but his favorite hobby was trying his luck at craps at The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas.
