Burgess Hamilton Weaver

Burgess Hamilton Weaver, 96 years of Weymouth North passed away to be with his lord and Saviour on March 11, 2026 at 7:55 PM peacefully at home cuddled in his bed holding his son‘s (Robb) hand. On this particular day he gave his loving wife of 73 years many many kisses while being visited by many throughout the day.

He was born at home in Weymouth North, Nova Scotia on September 12, 1929 and was the son of the late Charles and Ethel (Raymond) Weaver. He spent all of his life living and working for his family‘s future in many areas such as the wood industry, Connors Plant, backyard mechanics and many more enjoyed occupations. He was a firm believer in working hard for what you needed in life. He rarely indulged for himself as he believed only the necessities in life was what was important and most other novelties were a waste of hard earned money.

Burgess was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and brother to many who brought him constant joy and comfort in his life. He loved and cherished his family, and even though his last three months were his most difficult days, he still managed to smile, be positive and get through celebrations and family gatherings with open arms, hugs, kisses and a heart filled with love.

He loved going to church where he held a deacon position, working, camping, hunting, and collecting recyclables to return for refunds to buy all kinds of treats for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as their pets for every visit with them. They would have pockets full of yummy unhealthy (lol) snacks which everyone of them absolutely loved.

Over the last few years he loved sitting in his chair, when he could no longer be outside too much, watching the birds feed, log trucks drive by and his favourite flowers which were tulips that grow in the spring or waiting for the rain to come so he could hear it dance on the roof. One of his most recent joys was visiting his sister Lennie as he hadn’t seen her in a few years so he brought himself some strength that day to get up, dress and get in the car to drive with us that two hour trip that exhausted him but was so memorable for him as well as he came back home with one of his other favourite things, his mother‘s homemade molasses cookies that his sister had made for him.

Burgess is survived by his absolutely adoring dedicated loving wife Helen (Amero); daughters, Debbie (Tony) Langdale, Carla (Mike) Druken and Pam (Steve) Thibault; sons, Robb (Jack) Weaver and Troy (Wanda) Weaver; his grandchildren, Nick, Lee, Kirk, Ryan, Franjoli (AKA. Tis), Acheon, Braxton, Zachary, Emily, Jacob, Julianna, Hailey and great-grandchildren, Cassidy, Dominick, Mason, Landon, Alexis, Aleia, Sierra and many nieces and nephews as well as being survived by brother, Penson Weaver and sister, Lennie McCullough and Judy Melanson.

He was predeceased by his parents as well as his brothers, Henry and Jimmy and sisters, Phyllis, Edna and Anna.

Visitation will be held at Calvary Baptist Church, Plympton on Tuesday, March 17, from 2-4 and 6-8pm where service will also be held on Wednesday, March 18 at 2pm with a short tea time to follow. There will be no burial as his wish is to be cremated and placed in the casket with his loving wife to hold for eternity on her departure to her Lord and Saviour.

Donations can be made to Calvary Baptist Church either by envelope or e-transfer in memory of Burgess to [email protected]

Over the last few years as most of you know his son Robb moved home with his partner to care for his parents and his father enjoyed watching their yard explode with gardens of beautiful flowers. In lieu of cut flowers we ask that if you do want to donate flowers that they be types of potted plants, bulbs, bushes, trees, or gift cards from plant nurseries, etc in order for them to be able to live on long after Burgess for Robb to make a memorial garden in their yard this Spring so his wife/family can visit it often to see as a reminder of the man who lived for his family to grow and flourish forever!
