No man will ever have a greater impact on my life than you have. Rest easy, Dad. I'll never let you be  forgotten.

It's hard to believe that we are almost at our second Christmas without you, and so many things have happened since you have been gone...  things that you would have loved to be here for like weddings and births and road trips and travels... so many things that I miss sharing with you.  
We know you were watching from up above, with your buddies, Dad and Mom, and helping us to stay on the "straight and narrow" as we used to say. 
Losing you has been a long journey, and I suspect, one that is going to continue forever, probably, on an everyday basis.  This sense, this feeling of loss, never really ends. It surfaces at the strangest times, usually totally unexpected!  But this year has taught me to tread water and stay afloat.
Every time I open my eyes each morning and look at the sun washing over our yard and coloring the clouds, I remember you and say "good morning".  And, yes, I still take pictures of clouds because they are fascinating to me
And as I go through the days, little things trigger memories and I usually smile, sometimes shed a tear, but mostly am grateful for the years we were able to be together.  We certainly had adventures on our path, mostly good, some not so good, but each one was as unique to us as our path was unique to us. It's been hard doing this alone, but thankfully, we were blessed with our children and grandchildren, and friends who have been there every step of the way.  I learned that I didn't say "good-bye" to my best friend, to my husband, the father of my children, and my comrade in mischief just once, but many times. We started out as teenagers and ended up as sexagenarians... I have been waiting forever to use that word in a sentence and I finally have! So we got older and maybe we got a little more mature (maybe not) but it was our life together and I wouldn't have changed a thing (well, maybe a few things, but nothing really important!). Miss you every day, and love you, always and forever, no matter what!  

Remembering all of our years together and all the things we did, I thank God that I was able to have him in my life for as long as I did. It was a blessing and I didn’t recognize it. Through every stage of life, through every age, whether or not we saw eye to eye on things or not, I never doubted his love for me, especially on the days I tried his patience. He taught me so much. I wish I would have listened to him more and made better decisions to make him proud. Although nothing was ever said out loud, Dad knew he could depend on me to help take care of the family. I don’t know how he knew this but he did. I am so thankful and happy I spent the last four years of his life living with him, taking care of him, laughing with him.  I am thankful for the opportunity to be his main caregiver while Mom was still working, and I am blessed that my Dad trusted me to continue to be there for him when Mom retired. He took care of me as a kid, picking me up whenever I fell, and I was able to repay him by picking him up when he fell. He wasn’t embarrassed asking me for help, and that means a lot to a person who was always able to do for himself.I'm sorry for the things I can’t change:hard words said to each other, fights over things that in hindsight were unimportant and trivial. 
My memories of our time together will always leave me smiling even though I am still grieving. One of the lessons he taught me after he passed was that grief is not something to hide. Acknowledge it because it is a way of showing how much you loved a person. And there is no right way or wrong way to grieve and no one can tell you how to grieve. Grief washes over me on special Dad days and is usually totally unexpected but that is OK and I still cry a bit when that happens. I loved my Dad with my whole heart. I miss him so much it hurts because he took  a piece of my heart with him. I will never forget him. And I believe that every time Dad is mentioned, he looks down and smiles. My Dad is right here wi

He loved movies and was always recording them from TCM so he could watch them over and over. Old classic black and white, cinematic epics, musicals, comedies, dramas, the bad sci-fi B movies, modern movies, or cartoon movies, it didn’t matter, he loved them all. Deadpool was one of his favorites and he would watch it whenever it was on. He passed his love of cartoons to me. I remember he would tape,“The Simpsons”, “The Critic”, “Duckman'' and “South Park”' so we could watch them together on Sunday and Wednesday nights. I have so many memories of us laughing with him while we watched. I was so glad I was able to finish off “The Venture Brothers” which we started in the mid-2000s. Alex watched it with us and it was a special bonding time for Dad with us boys. I hope Alex always remembers that with happiness also.  
My dad had a big heart. Both metaphorically and literally. He had great compassion for dogs and cats. Especially the rescues and every pet that needed to be rescued found their way to our home. We were always bringing home strays that we found; he was always OK with us doing that. Sometimes we would try to hide them in our bedrooms, but he never got angry. I brought home feeder mice to raise and sometimes a rodent; he was always OK with it. He would complain a little about us not being a rescue society, but he was the first one who was at the store picking up the tank and tubes and food for them.
My dad was a hard working man and I only remember him calling out once in my whole life. And I wish it didn't take me until I was working a late shift and a graveyard shift to really appreciate that. I just took it for granted that Dad worked at night. If he couldn’t make it to a concert, game or gym class recital, he would make sure it was recorded so he could watch it when he got home. I didn’t realize how much those activities meant to him as a kid, it wasn’t until later that I understood. He loved all of us kids so much; he would do anything to keep us happy. 


Dad always made sure we had at least a two-week vacation every summer. Southern California and Utah were his favorite places. He loved theme parks and roller coasters and all of us kids picked up that love for them from him. The higher and more looper they were, the better he liked them. He did them all. I remember my little sister, Krista, crying because she was too short to ride the big roller coaster and Dad told her next year she could.  Mom didn’t hardly ride roller coasters; I thought it was because she didn’t like them, but it turns out, it was because there was always at least one of us kids who were too short or too young, and she stayed with them so Dad could do his  rollar coasters

Dad always made sure we had what we needed for our extra curricular activities. For me, he made sure I had my baseball gear. He enjoyed helping with practices and games. For three seasons, he would come to my games before going to work. He would drive me to the field, drop me off, and then dash home to shower and get ready for work. Then back to the game where he would help out by acting as baseline coach until he had to go. He was always helping the coaches with the teams. He made every practice and as many games as he could, depending on his work schedule. And he did this for all of us six kids for a span of over 40 years (1976 - 2016) only stopping when his health would no longer let him.
Dad loved to cook.  It was always the quintessential meal. He loved making his chili in the winter; as each of us would walk in the door, we’d know it was “Chili time!”  Taco night made you feel you were in a restaurant. During 2019, Dad started teaching me the way to make “His Chili” as his was the best. Chili was made under his direction by me, to make sure it was right. He taught me to make the Christmas turkey dinner and the Easter ham dinner. I thought it was because he couldn’t lift the pots and pans anymore which is why he wanted my help, but hindsight makes me think it was because he wanted to make sure his “special” meals would continue so we would remember him. I can honestly say, I never met a person who didn’t like his cooking!  
Dad was smart; he knew more trivia than anyone else. He always answered the Jeopardy questions before the contestants. He made sure we all did our best in school because even though he never went to college he knew school was important. 

What can be written about my Dad that hasn't been written before? That's a good question and I think the answer is there isn’t not much more to write, but I want to try. I miss my Dad each and every day because he was someone special to me so I’m going to share some of my favorite memories. These are memories I treasure and help explain why he was so special to me. 
Dad was my first Hero. He was an old-school kind of guy. He liked people. . But he never missed a chance to talk to someone, be it family, friend or stranger. He had a great sense of humor and knew every joke ever told., which never ceased to amaze me. One of the last things he said to me before his last trip to the hospital while waiting for the ambulance was a joke, but for the life of me I can’t remember it. He was jumbling up his words, not making much sense that night, so maybe that’s why I don’t remember. But he laughed about it, so it must have been funny to him. It shouldn’t seem so important to me, but it is. I want to remember everything he said and I can’t, and that makes me sad
He was a great father. He worked graveyard shift; when he got home the first thing he did was make our school lunches.  They were great lunches. My friends were always checking out what I had in my bag. He always volunteered to drive for our field trips and the teachers always were happy to have him along.  Our car was always the favorite car to be in. Every field trip, my friends would ask, “Is your dad driving Pat?” and  “I want to ride in Pat’s car”.  My mom was always a little jealous of his outings with all the field trips because she had to work in the daytime and couldn’t go. One of my favorite memories of a field trip with Dad was a trip to Mt. Charleston where I accidentally locked the keys in the car. Dad kept his cool and laughed; he called Mom at work and she was able to leave to come rescue us so we could go home. It was a really great afternoon, waiting with my Dad. 
























For my Son, Love, your Dad, Paul Weible

The Master's Bouquet
The Master walked in his garden, plucking flowers along the way, 
He plucked one of my Loved Ones to add to his bouquet. 
My heart was first broken at the loss of one so dear; 
But the tears I shed just washed my eyes so I saw His way more clear. 
My Lord has need for just this one for the pattern He has in mind
But it is hard for the rest of us to see why we must be left behind. 
Perhaps we are not ready to go just yet we may need to ripen more to reach the full-blown fragrance to each we chance to meet. 
We should be trying, day-by-day, to make our fragrance sweet. I'm going  to try my very best to be loving and kind each day 
So at last I'll be counted worthy 
To be a part of my Master's bourquet. 

My dad was a good, loving man and I'm proud to be his son. He and my mom took me in when I was young and they treated me like their own. They didn't have to, but they did anyways and I'm forever grateful. I remember as a kid how he always had a joke to tell - he knew how to tell it and deliver the punchline. He never disappointed. I was amazed how everybody always laughed. I think that's why I joke around myself so much - it kinda became a part of my personality. I'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan because of him too - people still ask me if I'm from Pittsburgh. I tell them I've never been there, but I 'm a big fan because of my dad. There are other things we share but you don't think much about them until you step back and look at yourself and realize that you really do become like your parents. We also disagreed on some things, but that was alright - he still loved me the same. I remember that I would get loud and animated about something and he would just sit and listen to me and not say a word until I was done. Then he would calmly respond with a smile. I didn't get it until I had my own kids. He gave me everything I needed to succeed, even sending me to good schools that cost a lot of money. He believed in me and knew it would be money well spent. I wasn't always the best son and didn't always make the best decisions, but he always stuck by me no matter what. His faith in me was unwavering and his love for me was unconditional, even if I didn't deserve it. I wish I could see him one more time so I could thank him for everything he did for me and tell him that I love him.  I wouldn't be who I am or where I am without him. His impact on me was profound and I hope I can honor his legacy by being a good person like him and living a good life like he did.  He was my dad and I was his son - he will always be missed and never be forgotten. 

Darrell and Becky have always been a part of my family ever since we moved to Paz Vegas in the 1980s.  Jennifer babysat my kids and I worked with Becky at UMC ,  we lived down the street from each other and adopted our families together for road trips, library dates or fun at McDonalds or Burger King.  Darrell was always there with a big smile and smirk and hug. Making sure that everyone was being taken cared of whatever task was needed, I so treasure these moments together, birthdays, first communion ,Christmas with walks at Ethel M Cactus garden and Spring Mountain summer Theatre.  Thank for opening your heart to me and my family.  You will always be near in my heart.  Love you more

Today is our wedding anniversary. It is odd not having you here with me today.  Our path together started back in high school, your Senior year, and my Junior year (1969 - 70).  Who knew we would have such an amazing and long journey together. We have been together forever; and it was not a bad thing, being together forever.  As we grew older,  always together, we learned and experienced new things; we raised a family that turned out to be pretty fantastic. We learned to laugh and cry and celebrate and to feel sorrow. We learned to accept the world didn't always agree with our plans but we learned to bend and to be flexible and discovered things almost always worked out for the best. We continually changed as we aged.  But the one thing that has always remained constant, the one that has never changed was that we always kept falling in love with each other over and over and over again. I miss you this year; and because of the Coronavirus, we didn't get our free Anniversary dinner at Steiner's that we always looked forward to! It's not easy to celebrate this first year without you by my side. But I love you and I miss you and I have so much more to say to you and I wish you were here. Happy Anniversary, my Love. 

Krista came by yesterday to make sure we were OK and to let us know she was OK also. Because of the Coronavirus, we had to maintain our 6 feet social distancing rule, which makes it hard to give people hugs. She was upset and started to cry when she told us her phone and her prayer card for Darrell had been stolen and she said she just couldn't believe that people would stoop so low as to take a prayer card. We told her it was ok, we had more and she stopped crying and smiled when we gave her the new one. We talked for about a half-hour through the fence; she remembered some stories involving her Dad, and she talked about how tired he was when she saw him on Christmas Eve. She said she was glad Dad and her had been able to spend a little time together Christmas Eve, and she had told him how tired he looked; she said he told her he was very tired. She told us that she had been having dreams of her family for the past couple of weeks. Because of the Coronavirus, she couldn't come in and use our computer to put in her remarks, but I promised I would put this in for her, and she thanked me. She left and we went back in the house, promising to see her on Sunday, at least from the car, since Sunday is Mother's Day. She said she loved her Dad      and wanted the picture of her, Darrell, and Darrell's mother that we took in Huntsville, Texas at the nursing home. 

This was a picture I made for my Art class. It was done in the Pointillism style. This is a picture of my Dad, reaching down from heaven to touch his iris plants. The watch stopped at 1:53, this is the time that Dad left us. I know he's happy watching us and I'm happy that he is no longer hurting and now he can do anything he wants to do! Love you Dad, and I miss you!

I don’t have many memories of Darrell. When I do, they’re great! I only knew Darrell for about a year or so. I knew him because of Zach. I remember when I first met him, he was so welcoming. I’m a very shy and awkward person, and he helped me become less shy. Darrell is a great person. He always gave the best advice. I view the entire Weible family, Darrell included, as family. It feels like I’ve known him for longer, unfortunately it’s only been a year. I wish it were more. 

I can feel you breathing 
With your hair on my skin 
As we lie here within
The night

I'll pull the sheets 
 When it's cold on your feet
Cuz you'll fall back to sleep
Every time

Grow old with me 
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I

And our hands they might age 
And our bodies will change
But we'll still be the same
As we are

We'll still sing our song 
When our hair ain't so blonde
And our children have sung
We were right

They'll sing / Grow old with me 
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I

And the hairs they stand up
And my feet start to thump
Yer the feeling is dreaming
Around

You'll be the one 
Make me hurt, make me come
Make me feel like I'm real
And alive

Grow old with me 
Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I

Grow old with me 
 Let us share what we see
And oh the best it could be
Just you and I

“Grow old along with me!  The best is yet to be!" 


I'm going to say it right now: my father was an amazing man. He loved to make people laugh and smile. It's not a very special thing to say, as everyone says that about him, however it's completely true. I'm going to miss him, but I know that he'll forever be by my side, in my heart, and he will never, ever leave. It's not like he has much of a choice at this point, anyways. Here's a picture of his baby cat in space I made. He's looking for papa.

I love you Dad and will always miss you. It just doesn't seem the same without you being here.
Love, Katrina

 Hi Becky. I would have reached out sooner but wanted to give you the respect of time. My deepest condolences go out to you and your family. Your words about Darrell honored him so well. The memories I  recall of him were so vividly positive and always with a huge smile and sense of humor and laugh. You both have always been so hospitable when we were visiting Vegas and  when you came to visit us in Texas. We grabbed  Mexican food and we all sat there for a few hours in the restaurant. I remember lots of laughter! I know you’ll continue to honor his memory and if you need anything let me know! Love, Michael Allendorf

It is with great sadness that I write this note to my family and friends near and far. On January 12, 2020 at 1:53 PM, my husband, Darrell Weible passed from this world to whatever waits for us in the next world. Darrell and I started dating in May 1970; we were friends in school before we started dating. For almost 50 years, he has been a part of my life and to be honest, I don't know what I will do without him. To me, he was an amazing man and I've not been able to find the words to describe what his loss means to me. Darrell was a remarkable man, not a saint like we want to remember those who have gone before us as being, but none-the-less, remarkable. He was dependable, he was loving, he was caring, he was the center of my world and the center of the world for our children. And he was my best friend, he was my companion, he was my partner in mischief and he was who I ran to when I needed a shoulder to cry on. He taught me so much and he helped me to learn to enjoy life to the max. Life will never again be the same as it was before he left and I will never again hear his laughter, his jokes, his "Love you, Hon". We were supposed to spend our lives together - through good and bad and sickness and health and all that, and we were supposed to have many golden years together. So as I sit here trying to gather my thoughts and feelings, I remember that we did live our life together and it was mostly golden; overall, we had almost 50  years together. I think it's important that I tell all of you that the prayers and good thoughts that everyone shared so endlessly with him meant so very much to him. He was not a fan of Facebook, but yet would drop what he was doing to see the posts I shared with him about his family; he loved his Weible Clan so very much! He is at peace now. He is no longer unable to do the things he loved to do. It appears as if I found a few words after all, who knew?! Again, thanks so much for being there for Darrell and me these past 3 years. 

Grandpa,
I was your oldest grandchild and I always had a special connection with you. You always took care of me when I was in diapers and later on when I could walk and talk. Then my parents decided to make a choice without asking me. They made it so that I couldn't see him for 10+ years. So I decided after I graduated high school to see him more. I saw him every single day for 7 months and I wouldn't have traded it for the world. We laughed together, cried together, we did everything together. Even started a show with him, The Walking Dead. We would watch an episode and talk about it for it seemed hours. I made enough memories the past 7 months with him to last me the rest of my life. You see my grandpa was the most loving and caring grandpa I could ever wish for. He loved his children, his wife, his grandchildren, nieces and nephews. He loved everyone. I made him a promise that I have been putting my 100% in recently, joining the military. When we had the final viewing to see my grandpa I wrote him a letter, and in that letter was a promise that I would join the Air Force. I promise to you grandpa I will push myself to be the best grandchild you could ask for. You helped raise my dad who is the most amazing dad ever. He has supported me in everything I do. I know he along with everyone in this room misses you soooooooo much. But I know you are in a better place but I wish I could have given you one last hug and said I love you one more time. But everyone wishes they could do that. I just wish that I got to spend more times with you, but j got to do that these past many months. I will always remember you, you will never be forgotten. 
Love your oldest grandson,
Zachary Weible

Two months gone already, time seems to have gone by both very fast but also slow. I still find myself trying to wrap my brain around this.  Often times I’ll have a question about something and I’ll have the urge to pick up the phone and call, there are days when I’ll feel like making goulash(one of his best dishes) and I’ll pick up the phone, and it dawns on me...he isn’t here. It’s tough.  
If there’s one thing we all know, it’s his love of film! We liked a lot of the same films, Mel Brooks, Monty Python, Naked Gun films, etc. we used to throw quotes back and forth between each other “It’s good to be be the king!” I see some of the films on streaming, so I watch em! I’ve rented Deadpool (another big thing for him!)2 already, so funny he glommed on to him...but really I think since the character was healthy and was stricken with stage four cancer...he was able to over come that, but then was physically deformed, also the character has a “colorful” personality..I think that’s why he took such a liking to DP, so when I get down I watch that. Another thing worth noting about DP2, the two main characters are also going through major losses as well. 
I also remember my dads BIG heart! If he knew you and were close to him he would go out of his way to be there and help you out any way he could! He loved his family and it was very fitting for him to have most of them there as he transitioned into the next part of his journey. 
I’m going to wrap this up with this...my dad was funny, didn’t take no crap, loving, helpful, a fighter...and I flipping miss him!

Grandpa, a young heart gone so soon. Everyday feels like a long day. I'll never forget being called your little girl. You put smiles on everyone's faces and shared many unforgettable memories. Although I only knew a short time it felt like forever, and I'll never forget the times we visited you in the hospital wearing our yellow scrubs, and also visiting you in rehab. I'll never forget how much you loved wish, and I'll never forget everything you did for me and Zach and everyone. You may be gone now but you will forever be in our hearts. You have unfortunately been gone for about 2 months now still doesn't even feel real. I'll never forget our TWD nights. I'll never forget the talks we had, the tears we shed, and the laughs we have had. But, one of the biggest things I'll never forget was the day you and Zach had driven in the 1951 shoebox. Alot has changed since you have been gone but we know your always watching us. ZACH PROPOSED 😊💍 and I know you will always be there for us in our dark times and will show us the light. I'll never forget any of the memories we shared together. I hope you lived your best life. Forever is a long time but I want to be one of your favorite hellos and hardest goodbyes.  We will meet again one day.❤

Like any married couple, Darrell and I enjoyed watching movies and TV series together. While he was watching "The Walking Dead" with his grandson and his girlfriend, Zachary and Bree, Darrell and I were watching "Outlander" which is set in the Scottish Highlands.  Darrell's DNA results showed he was 16% Scottish and Irish, so maybe that's why he indulged me and we watched the series together. He enjoyed the Scottish scenery and although not really much into time travel and romance novels/stories, he kept up with the basic storyline; he liked the fighting scenes with the swords.  One of the things he really liked was the Gaelic Wedding Vow:  ‘Ye are the blood of my blood, and bone of my bone. I give ye my body, that we two might be one. I give ye my spirit, ’til our life shall be done.’  We watched the first 4 seasons but unfortunately, he passed before we season 5 started.  While sitting with him in the hospital and rehab, I would be reading the "Outlander" bool series, and every now and then he would wake up and ask how the book was going and what was that, "Bloody bone saying, how does it go again?" and I would tell him, and he would smile and say "Hmph, that's it."   I will never forget that Darrell did not grow under my heart, but in my heart and am so grateful that we were able to spend 49 years and 9 months together.  Darrell was indeed one of a kind and was truly loved well by his family
