Brother Weaver was a great man in anyone’s book. He was the calm in a storm, and brought the word with clarity. He briefly watched over our church when we were between pastors, and the entire congregation of the Parrott Church of God has nothing but love for him. He will be missed, but he would not change anything now for his life in Christ.

Pastor Weaver was such an example of what it was too be a real disciple for the Lord. I loved him so much because he was real. He not only talked the talk but he walked the walk. He was a powerful Preacher a real example for CHRIST. The years I’ve know him He had a heart of Gold. Now His journey here on this earth has ended and He graduated to a much higher place. May God bless this entire family and strengthen you and give you all the peace you need. God Bless you love

Love this family. Your missing him will be great, but what wonderful memories you will have always.
Rodney and I loved the great times we had with Donnie and Clarice. The Youth Camps we worked in. The trips we took. We shared so much. Being in the ministry together was such a blessing.
Love you Clarice and family. Praying for you. Email me and we can share phone numbers.
I live in Waycross, GA now.
