James Weston Sr.

He is survived by his children, James E. Weston Jr. (Cindy), Stefanie Lombardo (Alexander), and Susan Weston.

Mr. Weston leaves behind his grandchildren, Timothy Johnston, Matthew Weston, Connor Weston, Sean Lombardo, Daniel Lombardo and Nathan Weston; and one great grandson, Atticus Weston.

He was preceded in death by his father, William D. Weston; his mother, Eunice (Nicely) Weston; and his beloved wife, Anna Mae (Perry) Weston.

Mr. Weston pursued several careers during his life, including a stint in the Air Force as a mechanic, but he was much better defined by his hobbies. He relished weekend dinners with family and friends, was an avid card player, and enjoyed woodworking.

Jim loved watching sports of all kinds. He bled Burgundy and Gold, wouldn’t miss a Caps or Braves game on TV, and cheered for every University of Maryland team.

His greatest enjoyment in sports came as a youth football coach. For more than 20 years, Jim Weston taught the fundamentals of his favorite sport, along with basic instructions for life, to kids in the Springfield and Stafford, VA communities. He never tired of retelling stories of blocked punts or pants held up with tape or kids who exceeded expectations to anyone willing to listen.

A visitation for Mr. Weston will be held from 6:00pm-8:00pm on Monday, June 13, 2022at Mullins and Thompson Funeral Service, Stafford Chapel.

His graveside service will be at 11:00am on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at Stafford Memorial Park.
