Signature Sympathy Cards
NASHVILLE – James Manfred Weaver, age 69, passed away on Monday, May 27, 2024. Born in Wayne County, NC on December 1, 1954, he was the son of the late Clarence Weaver, Sr. and Dorothy Johnston Weaver. He was also preceded in death by his brother, Clarence Weaver, Jr.
James was a tobacco farmer for over 20 years until his retirement. Following his retirement, he went to work for Rosehill Farms where he maintained the grounds for another 20 years. He liked riding horses and 4-wheeling in his younger years. James enjoyed being outside keeping his yard beautiful, “piddling” in his shop, going fishing, and a good steak on the grill. Watching his old westerns on television was a treat for him. James loved his grandkids, Andy and Maggie. They were truly the apples of his eye!

I rocked James when he was almost a week old and fed him his bottle. Love you. Aunt Betsy
Sending Prayers for Nancy, Jason and Jamie….
James was always so nice to Gail, Laney, and I when we visited them at their home. It will not be the same walking into their home and not seeing James in his recliner and hearing him say hey Mr. Ronnie and Mrs. Gail. He was a true friend to our family, and he will be forever missed. I pray that God will comfort Nancy and Jason during this most difficult time.
Nancy, Jamie & Jason, I’m so sorry to hear about James. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family during this time.
I have known James and his family for many years I use to go and stay with his mom and dad on occasion. They were good people and he will be missed. Praying for all the family. The family knew me as Deedee.
My Condolences 🙏 to the Family, I’m so sorry for yalls loss, I’ll always remember James, he helped teach me about riding horses and motor bikes, He had some really cool cars growing up , I would say he was instrumental in my love for cars. He taught me about farming and what cucumbers 🥒 to pick..( not the big ones) how to hang tobacco.. I love you James Rip….

My thoughts and prayers go out to you & your family during this time. May God give you all peace and blessings. Love
I had the privilege of growing up beside the Weaver family on Hwy 222 in Wayne Co. I remember a wonderful loving family who worked hard & laughed alot. They lived in a house, The Twin Oaks Farm that I use to love to go visit. Mr. Bud & Mrs. Dorothy were special to my parents, Lloyd & Doris Howell. The three boys, Junior, Ronnie & James played and were friends of my four brothers, Vic, Clark, Gene & Bobby Howell. They were all mischievous & got in a few incidents that might have required whippings. I was the only girl & tagged along when they would let me. They eventually moved to Nashville but our families remained close. To your family from ours, James will be missed & our love & prayers are with you.

Nancy, Jamie, & Jason, We are so very sorry for your loss and are praying for your entire family in the days ahead…..
Nancy and family: I m so sorry for your loss. He was one of the nicest men I’ve ever known. Never heard any one say anything bad about him and always met me with a smile and a “how are you doing , girl”?
His funeral was very nice and well spoken of him.
The duet Beverly and Brooke sang was absolutely beautiful.
There are days ahead that you will need a friend.
I will be by to see you soon.
