NOVEMBER 3, 1946 – NOVEMBER 18, 2018
Allen Weathers 72, passed away on November 18th, 2018 in Marina California after a long and brave battle with cancer. Allen was born November 3rd, 1946 in Tucson, Arizona and grew up on various Air Force bases throughout the country. His parents and siblings finally settled in El Dorado Hills, California where he graduated from Folsom High School in 1964.
Allen was a proud veteran who loved his country and Native American heritage. His fierce political views were always a favorite topic of discussion and made him the passionate and larger than life character he was.
Allen loved the Monterey Peninsula, where he lived in Big Sur and Pacific Grove, before moving to Monterey. It was in Monterey that he started his own graphic arts company, Publisher's Art Service, before joining the Monterey Herald.
Allen was an avid collector and an artisan. Playing percussion, jamming with friends and becoming Santa every holiday season, were some of his favorite pastimes.
Allen will always be remembered as a champion for social justice, environmental and indigenous rights and as an eccentric collector (his pez dispenser collection was legendary). His passion for life, his robust personality and his big heart will be missed by all who knew him.
Allen is survived by his son Justin Weathers; granddaughters; Gabriella, and Theodora, his brother Dale Weathers; his sisters, Alene Nishiguchi and Karen Steinke, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents Bill and Jean and his long time love Sandy.
A celebration of Allen's life will be held on Sunday, December 16th at 1pm, at The American Legion, 1110 Veterans Dr., in Monterey.
