Comments about Mike

From the earliest days of Mike’s passing, we have received dozens of comments about Mike, for Mike and to Mike from his many friends and relatives. The comments have moved from one place to another, but have been preserved.

Karmen Foster says:

This is just one of those days where I play back the memories of you…It is still very hard for me to grasp at times. Working for the Dept of Corrections, everyday I see individuals sent to prison for the same reason you are not here with us today…death of another. My heart gets heavy, I think about the affect on both families (victims, defendants), and some days can be mentally and emotionally draining seeing this. But Mike you are one of the reasons I do the job I do. I keep you close to my heart. You are on my mind ALOT and everyone around me has heard me talk about you. Mikey you are still missed and your life, though short, continues to make an impact on the lives of many…..just thinking about ya buddy!

  • Mike- you were a beautiful man inside and out. You still are in my heart and images of you will forever be in my head. happy belated:)

    Dad says:

    Kyle — Where are you!!!??? We would love to get a copy of that tape (or a CD version). We’ve talked about that performance many times over the years but we do not have a record of it. Can we get a copy somehow? Please email me! — Bill

  • Happy Birthday Mike, I recently stumbled across a VHS of Rosa Taylor’s ‘Star Search’, the talent show that presented blossoming talents that would no doubt rival our modern day American Idol. Anywho, I slid the tape with ’93 printed on the front into the tape players and low and behold there’s the motley crew themselves, Benjamin Reaves in a tarzan outfit, Anna Sanders dressed up in a jungle costume, Blake Lord in a monkey outfit, I’m beating on some drums with fake dread locks and Mike is in a sports coat and jeans with black sunglasses mouthing the part of the commentator in Guitarzan. Mike towered over us on stage, he was at least a foot taller than everyone else and had so much energy he never stopped bouncing around on stage. Thanks for the fond memories Mike!

  • Happy Birthday, Mike. Your friends are carrying on your memory with Weaver’s Weekend activities, your old Little League is carrying on your name with an award, and your family is carrying on with you in our hearts. I know how proud you’d be of Dan and Molly and Mom. We miss you and love you.

  • My heart is full of love for the three of you kids and Daddy. Our family goes on, but I promise you, you might not be with us physically, you’re with us in our love. Mikey, Happy Birthday. Your birthday was so much fun….you liked being held, and I remember eating supper with you curled up in he crook of my arm. I swear you watched the evening news with me. I love you!

    Uncle Dan says:

    Mike,

    Think about you often and know that you’re spending time with your grandpas and Doc! We miss you. Love.

  • Heck Yeah! I can see you now, dancing around the house in your boxers like an idiot, with your big ole head of hair waving out of your hat. Smitty Styles and I waiting on you to wake up and hang out, while Dukes is in class like a good boy. Man, you are the best. Luckily you brother is a huge dork, like you, and I see so much of you in him. Hope all is well up there and give a huge and a kiss to Cotton for me. Love you bud! Giles

  • yo bro,
    WW09 is just a few days away and it makes me miss you more than ever. I love hearing all your friends tell stories about you and all the great times you had. i just wish you were here and I still have trouble with the fact that your not. i love you and miss you so much.

  • hey mike,

    so much to catch up on…i wouldn’t even know where to start. i still love working with dan. i try to look out for him, but could never do as good a job as you and molly…but i try:) still think of you often. hope you know that you’re always just a thought away, and never, ever forgotten. wish i could pick up the phone and call to catch up, get your advice, etc..miss you lots!!!

  • it seem like it was that long ago that i learning how play defensive end with you and coach little, i miss dawg peace.

    Craig Smith says:

    this website is such a lovely thought and effort. I had no idea it existed but thank you for doing it.

  • We think of Mike often and rejoice each year that the Mike Weaver award is given in honor and memory of Mike by his awesome family. He surely loves seeing the winners enjoy their trip to Atlanta!

  • Wishing I could call you up and we could just catch up – I miss you, bro. Thinking about you today ~ love you!

  • We’re heading to Alec’s wedding. We love you and know that you’re with us in spirit.

    Lesley Atwood says:

    I guess I am a random blast from the past, but I couldn’t resist saying hello. It is great to see that all of your good will and spirit is being carried on in Macon. And wish nothing but peace and happiness to all of the people you love.

    Just thinking about you and how much I enjoyed pitching a ball for you to hit…
    I also remember the time that the three Weaver kids were in Iowa during the winter and how much fun we had in the snow.
    Love,

    Momma – 25 years ago you were in my arms and we sat in bed and I swear, you were watching television….ESPN. I miss you everyday and appreciate the 20 years that you blessed my life. You could always make me laugh. Happy Birthday, Mike. We love you and know that someday we’ll all be together.

    Dad – On Saturday, I sat down to rest and watch a little TV after working in the yard. A golf tournament was on. It was a nice day, so I decided to go PLAY golf rather than watch. I went out to the car and heard no less than 3 hawks screeching. No doubt you were one of them, wanting to play, too. Later that day I ordered a book on golf for Dan, and I know you’ll help him read it and learn the game. Dan’s a great guy, and I know you miss him. We miss you, too.

    Dad – Mike —
    Your high school friend Tiffany Mallory did a wonderful thing today as part of her family’s celebration of her graduation from law school. It was a beautiful event held in the City Club of Macon, attended by dozens and dozens of her family’s friends. Her family invited us, and it was lovely.
    She asked that in lieu of graduation gifts to her, that people instead give gifts in your name. It was a wonderful gesture from your wonderful friend, and we will turn over whatever money was contributed to the CPA that controls the donations for your award program. And then Tiffany gave a very touching speech about you, your friendship with her and how much your mother’s words meant to her at your funeral — to seek forgiveness in that time of great sorrow. Dan, Molly and Brad joined Mom and I in witnessing this wonderful event, hearing the wonderful words and enjoying our time to remember you and all you gave to us.
    You’d have been very proud of your family, of Tiffany and her family, and of the warm reception her family’s friends gave to us. Mom sat at the head table and gave a lovely, warm toast to Tiffany. We were all so proud of her, and know you would be too.
    Your smile and your friendship will live on forever and continue to brighten the lives of those you touched for as long as we all shall live.
    Please watch over Tiffany and her family and thank them in your own special way for their thoughtfulness and generosity.
    We love you, and we do miss you so much.

    Lettie – Hey Mike,
    Can’t tell you how happy I am that Dan is here for the summer. We just went to lunch and got caught up talking about the Spring Break trip we took to Amelia Island and some other random memories. It’s so good to have someone to talk to and share those with..you have no idea!!! Oh, and you would be so proud..he is such a great fit in the office!! Everyone loves him.. Well, just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you..and miss you more than you could ever know…
    Love,

    Jeannie Waters – Erin, Bill, Molly, and Dan,
    You have been on my heart today. We were recently remembering a fun time with Mike. Hugs to all of you, Jeannie
    Mike, your mom and I often share Proverbs 17:17 with each other because we are such good friends. “A friend loves at all times.” You had so many friends, Mike, and we all know why—because you were such a good friend and so easy to love. We think of you often.

    Sally S. – Michael: I knew you when you were a little boy living in Milledgeville, Ga., because I worked for your Dad there. When I found all these wonderful things about you on the Web I was really touched. You clearly had some wonderful friends. And it’s apparent they miss you so much. How fabulous that they want to honor you with parties and awards. That’s a credit to the wonderful kid you were. I just got done looking at Molly’s wedding photos on Face Book. She is beautiful and she looks so happy. You were so lucky to come from such a great family.

    Mike— I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I’ve heard so much about you from your family and your Uncle Dan—who misses you very much. He talks about you often recalling the story of when you spent the night at his condo and slept in the living room with a sleeping bag and ended up wanting Uncle Dan to sleep with you guys in the living room …he liked that!
    I visit your website often trying to get to know you and I feel that I have in the past 3 years. I can see how everyone misses your smile and what a great young man you are!
    I’m sure we will me someday……

    We miss you every day, buddy. But I’m sure you’re as proud as we are of your big sister and little brother and how well they’re doing. The tree we planted for you outside my office reminds me of you every day. Good thoughts, happy times. Happy Birthday.

    All day long I have felt like someone was walking tall watching over my shoulder. Everything seemed to be flowing perfectly into place. It was like the light from above was reflecting off your wings casting down on my life. I finally heard the good news I have been expecting to hear for a very long time. I finally got offered a job at Regions Bank.
    It took me nine months, seven rejected applications, and three interviews with Regions Bank before I finally received a job. I guess your persistence and ambition in life has finally reflected off on me. Thank you for being a good friend. Happy Birthday Mike!

    It snowed today and I got so excited. It was only for about 5 minutes, but it made my whole class stop and smile. The snow was like out of a snow globe – so beautiful and perfect. Thanks for that moment. 🙂
    Happy Birthday – love and hugs. We miss you every day.

    My last two years at The Citadel were extremely stressful. To allieviate some of that stress I would walk down to the ashley river docks on campus(alone) with my casting net and blue chucky T’s…the one’s we both got a deal on at the mall. For two years, a beautiful white bird would fly in and sit and watch me from a post located just off the docks. For hours, this bird would stay and watch (and perhaps laugh at the fact that I wasn’t catching shrimp), but I’ve never felt closer to you than those moments. I should mention; however, that when I first went down to the docks a couple of years ago, the head of the boat house said, “sir, no one has cought shrimp in these marshes in years”. I continued on and by the days end, I had cought some of the largest shrimp I have ever eaten…thanks for feeding me beaver and not making me eat the slop at the mess hall. I would get chills standing out there alone because I knew you were that bird and were just wanting to hang out. Thank you for the most spectaculur array of orange, yellows, and reds swirling through the sky at sunset. When I was stuck on campus for two months, I knew you were always there down by the docks ready to hang out. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think about you or want to give you a call. I miss hangin’ out with you on the docks at The Citadel. Thanks for watching over me Beaver.

    So, today was another monday, or so I thought! I headed down to Vidalia at around 0530 this morning and things were good. I received a call saying I needed to be back at the medical center in 1.5 hours. I am 1.5 hours away and not anywhere near leaving. I had to hurry home. As I reached triple digits in the man wagon, carrying my medical supplies, I was quickly pulled over by a state trooper. As I sat on the side of the road desperately thinking of a story, he knocked on my window. I was expecting something along the lines of, “what the hell were you thinking going over 100mph?”. Instead I got one of those idiot looks, and then he asked,”what the hell were you thinking?”…not much better I know, but atleast he opened me up for a story line. I felt like the kid in the movie christmas story as I spit out a million different stories about where I was going etc. After I explained my urgency of getting to the medical center, he let me go with a warning. As he turned to walk back to his car, I glanced at his name tag. It read, Weaver! Thanks for getting me outta that one buddy!

    Hi Mike.
    I want to say that I miss you, but that would be an understatement.
    I’ve been looking at this site and tears come to my eyes reading the comments from Molly and the rest of your family and friends.
    You really were amazing Mike.
    I wish you were here and able to come to Pawleys Island with us this summer.

    Karen Klingelhofer – In a second, your whole life can change. Everything mapped out, but then quickly rearranged. Mikes a guy you could never forget. You’d be a friend of his, a minute after you’d met. He was smart and funny, with an addicting smile; if you asked a favor, he’d go the extra mile! If you were sad and alone, he would sit next to you- putting a grin on your face with something funny he would say or do!
    You look up towards God and ask Him, “Why? I didn’t get to say I love you or even good-bye!” There will be nights when you can’t stop weeping; head on pillow, wishing you could be sleeping. You think that things like this could never happen to you- but then when it does, what do you do?
    You try to keep going; taking it day by day. and know in the end that everything will be ok…
    This is part of a poem that I wrote in 2004. I wanted to share it. It made me smile and gave me some peace writing it, so maybe it will make others who read it smile too.
    Mike, you had such an impact on so many people’s lives. I don’t think you had any idea exactly how many. Look at how many people have visited your web site- that should give you a little clue!!Please keep looking over us. I always keep you in my prayers. We miss you!

    04:00:15 AM
    Dad – Mikey,
    Grandma told me the other day she was watching the team from Warner Robins in the Little League World Series and it made her think of the team I was on when I was growing up. Of course, my thoughts go to you, buddy, and the many good times we had on a Little League field. Maybe you sent those memories down to us; if so, thanks.
    Not a day goes by when we don’t think about you and what you’d be doing now. You will always be a part of us, we will always miss you, we will always remember that great smile, those friendly eyes, that kind and gentle nature, that quiet loving character. We will never forget you.
    Karen’s previous message is wonderful. We thank her for sending it. The words ring true. We will always love you.
    Dad

My favorite picture of you is the one when you had your cast and you had a permanent thumbs up–so symbolic of your life! What wonderful memories I have of you, my little shaggy haired friend. Gosh, I miss you today!

    Today was a great day… first day of my big job up here in the District. Wish I could call you and tell you about it, but I have a feeling you helped me find my way to this special place. Mom said on Sunday something special would happen to me today. Something special did happen – it was my first day of work.
    Thanks, little bro.
    Went to bed last night thinking about you and have been thinking of you all day. You are with me all the time. Know that you have not been forgotten, by me or anyone else whos life you touched.

    Our hearts are filled with thoughts of you and Mike today. We’re thankful that we had the privilege to know him and watch him grow up—playing ball, exploring the neighborhood, riding around the circle with Doc close behind ….What a wonderful boy and young man he was. Surely there was a big baseball game in heaven today.
    With much love,

    One funny memory—Bill, remember when you brought Mike down to use Tyler’s ferret for his Science project? You took pictures as Mike and Tyler tried to get Ginger, the ferret, to run through a maze that Mike had constructed with cardboard. I think the project was due the next day, but I’ll bet Mike made an A! Let’s learn from Mike—-Enjoy the game and don’t sweat the small stuff! He enjoyed playing with the ferret that had Erin standing on one or our kitchen chairs!

    Mrs. Weaver…I know it’s been a while, but I wanted you to know that I think of you and your family often. I have many memories of Mike and what a great friend he was to many. But most of all, I remember the days following his leaving us. I was attending GCSU so I saw Mike often on campus and I remember the difficulties his fraternity brother’s had after his passing. I also remember seeing Dan. I think that was the hardest part for me because I knew that as his family it had to be hard. But knowing what an incredible impact Mike had on many had to lift your spirits. He had such a profound impact on many and still continues to remain in the hearts of all who knew him. I can’t believe it’s been three years. My husband and I send our condolences. We love you and your family.

    Mike,
    I sit here and try and find something to say, but all I can think of is how much I miss you buddy. We had some great times throughout life up until that last night we all spent together. I went to a show last Wednesday night, and thought about you and how much I knew that you would have enjoyed it. I miss you and am so thankful for all the memories. Until we meet again. I love you and I miss you.

    Mike loved Christmas and his favorite breakfast was a handful of Christmas cookies and a large glass of milk. Occasionally, he’d just take a tin of cookies and go to the family room and graze through the different varieties….Mike’s favorite cookies were Madelines. Merry Christmas, Mikey.

    Happy Birthday, Mike. You would have been 22 years old today. What might you have done today? Gone to class? Taken a test? Written a paper? Worked at Loco’s? Called your friends? Attended a party? Talked to Dan and Molly, and Mom and Dad? Gone out to dinner with friends or family? Listened to music? Played video games? Watched the Food Channel? Tried a new recipe or a new spice? Perfected your cooking methods? Played golf? Downloaded some music on your computer? Pushed your hair back and tucked it under your green hat? You probably wouldn’t have shaved. You probably would have driven your little black car far enough to buy a little gas, and maybe you would have gone to buy groceries. You wouldn’t have worried too much about anything; you seldom did. You’d have had a smile on your face all day, your eyes would have sparkled. You would have brought joy into the lives of everyone you met today, and you’d have met lots of people because they would have found you — they enjoyed being around you. We miss you badly, but we love you more each day. Have a good one. Your family and friends wish you a very happy birthday.

    I am a freshman at Central High School where Dr. Weaver is principal. From what I heard Mike was a great person. Always so full of life. My mom was a secratary when Dr. Weaver was a parent. Now it is the other way around since my mom now works at Appling Middle School. Dr. Weaver is the principal and my mom is the parent. I send out my condolences to the family.

    Wow, I can’t believe it has been two years already. August 16, 2003 is a day that will be hard for us to ever forget. I remember that last summer we all spent together like it was just yesterday. The guys were playing on a softball team out at Lake Oconee. Mike would sit in the back seat of Jimmy’s jeep on the way out there and the only words you’d hear come out of his mouth were the lyrics so some Widespread Panic or Allman Brothers song. The last time I saw Mike he was behind the bar at Loco’s putting away glasses, I couldn’t see him well from where I was standing but as soon as he looked up and waved, there was no way I mistake the huge grin as anyone other than Mike Weaver. Two years and one week later that moment is still frozen in my memory. You’ll never be forgotten, Mike.

I saw this website as a link on someone elses page today. Mike I miss that smiling face and actually having someone that even I had to look up to! I look at the pictures we took through the years of being in classes together often. Stan Brown’s class was always interesting… both of us slacked off at times!…I think everyone did actually!….I miss you though and I am glad that I have found this website and am able to just put on paper what I feel.Hi Dan, Mr. and Mrs. Weaver, and Molly…praying all is well…Love,Karmen

    Mike used to date my sister, Rachel Watts. Once when he was at our house he parked his car on the hill infront of our house, like he usually did. We were all just sitting and talking when randomly Mike jumps up and runs for the door. He forgot that there was a storm door and ran straight into it, bounced off and then opened the door and ran outside. He had seen his car rolling down the hill and chased it all the way down Hines Terrace. It was hialrious.

    I have many memories of Mike, having spent the majority of my high school years at the Weaver household, but a time that particularly comes to mind was the night of Molly and my junior prom. I remember taking pictures while Mike and Dan watched, and then watching Molly, Mike, and Dan take a picture together. I remember that he had on that map shirt and was just all smiles watching his sister all dressed up for prom. The Weaver family was very big part in my teenage years (and still is ;)) and although I am friends of the family through Molly, I do think of Mike and miss him often.

    My memories of Mike are of him coming to his mother’s office. No matter what she was doing, she would stop and focus her attention on him. He would always leave the room with that wonderful smile of his. His smile matched his heart.

    Mike often joined our family on trips, especially trips to the mountains in North Carolina. In fact, I met my family up there last summer, and when I got there I noticed he had not come with Alec, which led me to ask, “where’s Mike?” It just seemed strange without him there. Anyway, I guess he wasn’t able to make it that time. On one trip a few summers ago, we all decided to rent a big raft to take down the river. Well, we were a very sorry sight– as vast as that river was, we couldn’t go two feet without getting stuck on a rock. We laughed the whole time. Mike was such an easy person to be around. Always happy. My family just went up there this past weekend, and it’s just not the same without “Meat Clever Weaver,” as my dad fondly refers to him. But I will say his presence is still felt down on the creek through many happy memories. Mr. Weaver- thanks so much for this website- it’s really wonderful.

    I knew Mike because I am one of Molly’s sorority sisters. One of my first memories of him was when he and Adam Dukes came to a DZ formal when they were still in highschool with Molly and Leigh. They all hung out in our apartment before the formal and we had so much fun. I think every girl there was memorized by Mike’s endearing and beautiful eyes. And of course Dan continued the tradition by attending another DZ formal when he was in highschool as well. I will always cherish my memories with Mike, Molly and Dan and my daily prayers are with the Weaver family as you go through this time.

    As a teacher you get to know young people in many ways. Sometimes you teach them, sometimes you hear about them, sometimes you observe them in their unguarded moments as they move through the halls. The latter two was my association with Mike. He was tall, dark eyed, and reminded me of my own son who was also a Central Charger. When we watch these youngsters, just being themselves, a great deal of their character shows. Mike showed a great deal of character and that wonderful smile. Even though he wasn’t smiling at me , I just had to smile back.

Mike was a fine young man, and was taken from us far too soon. I will always miss fishing with him at Pawley’s Island many years ago, when we all were a lot younger. I know that you are very proud of the man he had become. To Molly & Dan: Please remember your brother as the kind and gentle soul that he was, and how he enriched every life he touched.

I was shocked to read of your son’s death in the Iowegian. I think Molly was just a baby when you left. I have 3 children of my own now, and I can only imagine what you must be going through. As I read through other guest book entries, phrases like “the greatest woman ever” (referring to you), and “just like his mom” stood out to me. I can tell that he was a very special person, just as you were to me. I think of you often and want you to know that your family is in my prayers.

  • This is just one of those days where I play back the memories of you…It is still very hard for me to grasp at times. Working for the Dept of Corrections, everyday I see individuals sent to prison for the same reason you are not here with us today…death of another. My heart gets heavy, I think about the affect on both families (victims, defendants), and some days can be mentally and emotionally draining seeing this. But Mike you are one of the reasons I do the job I do. I keep you close to my heart. You are on my mind ALOT and everyone around me has heard me talk about you. Mikey you are still missed and your life, though short, continues to make an impact on the lives of many…..just thinking about ya buddy!

  • Mike- you were a beautiful man inside and out. You still are in my heart and images of you will forever be in my head. happy belated:)

  • Kyle — Where are you!!!??? We would love to get a copy of that tape (or a CD version). We’ve talked about that performance many times over the years but we do not have a record of it. Can we get a copy somehow? Please email me! — Bill

  • Happy Birthday Mike, I recently stumbled across a VHS of Rosa Taylor’s ‘Star Search’, the talent show that presented blossoming talents that would no doubt rival our modern day American Idol. Anywho, I slid the tape with ’93 printed on the front into the tape players and low and behold there’s the motley crew themselves, Benjamin Reaves in a tarzan outfit, Anna Sanders dressed up in a jungle costume, Blake Lord in a monkey outfit, I’m beating on some drums with fake dread locks and Mike is in a sports coat and jeans with black sunglasses mouthing the part of the commentator in Guitarzan. Mike towered over us on stage, he was at least a foot taller than everyone else and had so much energy he never stopped bouncing around on stage. Thanks for the fond memories Mike!

  • Happy Birthday, Mike. Your friends are carrying on your memory with Weaver’s Weekend activities, your old Little League is carrying on your name with an award, and your family is carrying on with you in our hearts. I know how proud you’d be of Dan and Molly and Mom. We miss you and love you.

  • My heart is full of love for the three of you kids and Daddy. Our family goes on, but I promise you, you might not be with us physically, you’re with us in our love. Mikey, Happy Birthday. Your birthday was so much fun….you liked being held, and I remember eating supper with you curled up in he crook of my arm. I swear you watched the evening news with me. I love you!

  • Mike,

    Think about you often and know that you’re spending time with your grandpas and Doc! We miss you. Love.

  • Heck Yeah! I can see you now, dancing around the house in your boxers like an idiot, with your big ole head of hair waving out of your hat. Smitty Styles and I waiting on you to wake up and hang out, while Dukes is in class like a good boy. Man, you are the best. Luckily you brother is a huge dork, like you, and I see so much of you in him. Hope all is well up there and give a huge and a kiss to Cotton for me. Love you bud! Giles

  • yo bro,
    WW09 is just a few days away and it makes me miss you more than ever. I love hearing all your friends tell stories about you and all the great times you had. i just wish you were here and I still have trouble with the fact that your not. i love you and miss you so much.

  • hey mike,

  • it seem like it was that long ago that i learning how play defensive end with you and coach little, i miss dawg peace.

  • this website is such a lovely thought and effort. I had no idea it existed but thank you for doing it.

  • We think of Mike often and rejoice each year that the Mike Weaver award is given in honor and memory of Mike by his awesome family. He surely loves seeing the winners enjoy their trip to Atlanta!

  • Wishing I could call you up and we could just catch up – I miss you, bro. Thinking about you today ~ love you!

  • We’re heading to Alec’s wedding. We love you and know that you’re with us in spirit.

  • I guess I am a random blast from the past, but I couldn’t resist saying hello. It is great to see that all of your good will and spirit is being carried on in Macon. And wish nothing but peace and happiness to all of the people you love.

    Dad – On Saturday, I sat down to rest and watch a little TV after working in the yard. A golf tournament was on. It was a nice day, so I decided to go PLAY golf rather than watch. I went out to the car and heard no less than 3 hawks screeching. No doubt you were one of them, wanting to play, too. Later that day I ordered a book on golf for Dan, and I know you’ll help him read it and learn the game. Dan’s a great guy, and I know you miss him. We miss you, too.

    Dad – Mike —
    Your high school friend Tiffany Mallory did a wonderful thing today as part of her family’s celebration of her graduation from law school. It was a beautiful event held in the City Club of Macon, attended by dozens and dozens of her family’s friends. Her family invited us, and it was lovely.
    She asked that in lieu of graduation gifts to her, that people instead give gifts in your name. It was a wonderful gesture from your wonderful friend, and we will turn over whatever money was contributed to the CPA that controls the donations for your award program. And then Tiffany gave a very touching speech about you, your friendship with her and how much your mother’s words meant to her at your funeral — to seek forgiveness in that time of great sorrow. Dan, Molly and Brad joined Mom and I in witnessing this wonderful event, hearing the wonderful words and enjoying our time to remember you and all you gave to us.
    You’d have been very proud of your family, of Tiffany and her family, and of the warm reception her family’s friends gave to us. Mom sat at the head table and gave a lovely, warm toast to Tiffany. We were all so proud of her, and know you would be too.
    Your smile and your friendship will live on forever and continue to brighten the lives of those you touched for as long as we all shall live.
    Please watch over Tiffany and her family and thank them in your own special way for their thoughtfulness and generosity.
    We love you, and we do miss you so much.

    Can’t tell you how happy I am that Dan is here for the summer. We just went to lunch and got caught up talking about the Spring Break trip we took to Amelia Island and some other random memories. It’s so good to have someone to talk to and share those with..you have no idea!!! Oh, and you would be so proud..he is such a great fit in the office!! Everyone loves him.. Well, just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you..and miss you more than you could ever know…
    Love,

    Mike, your mom and I often share Proverbs 17:17 with each other because we are such good friends. “A friend loves at all times.” You had so many friends, Mike, and we all know why—because you were such a good friend and so easy to love. We think of you often.

    Sally S. – Michael: I knew you when you were a little boy living in Milledgeville, Ga., because I worked for your Dad there. When I found all these wonderful things about you on the Web I was really touched. You clearly had some wonderful friends. And it’s apparent they miss you so much. How fabulous that they want to honor you with parties and awards. That’s a credit to the wonderful kid you were. I just got done looking at Molly’s wedding photos on Face Book. She is beautiful and she looks so happy. You were so lucky to come from such a great family.

    Mike— I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I’ve heard so much about you from your family and your Uncle Dan—who misses you very much. He talks about you often recalling the story of when you spent the night at his condo and slept in the living room with a sleeping bag and ended up wanting Uncle Dan to sleep with you guys in the living room …he liked that!
    I visit your website often trying to get to know you and I feel that I have in the past 3 years. I can see how everyone misses your smile and what a great young man you are!
    I’m sure we will me someday……

    We miss you every day, buddy. But I’m sure you’re as proud as we are of your big sister and little brother and how well they’re doing. The tree we planted for you outside my office reminds me of you every day. Good thoughts, happy times. Happy Birthday.

    All day long I have felt like someone was walking tall watching over my shoulder. Everything seemed to be flowing perfectly into place. It was like the light from above was reflecting off your wings casting down on my life. I finally heard the good news I have been expecting to hear for a very long time. I finally got offered a job at Regions Bank.
    It took me nine months, seven rejected applications, and three interviews with Regions Bank before I finally received a job. I guess your persistence and ambition in life has finally reflected off on me. Thank you for being a good friend. Happy Birthday Mike!

    My last two years at The Citadel were extremely stressful. To allieviate some of that stress I would walk down to the ashley river docks on campus(alone) with my casting net and blue chucky T’s…the one’s we both got a deal on at the mall. For two years, a beautiful white bird would fly in and sit and watch me from a post located just off the docks. For hours, this bird would stay and watch (and perhaps laugh at the fact that I wasn’t catching shrimp), but I’ve never felt closer to you than those moments. I should mention; however, that when I first went down to the docks a couple of years ago, the head of the boat house said, “sir, no one has cought shrimp in these marshes in years”. I continued on and by the days end, I had cought some of the largest shrimp I have ever eaten…thanks for feeding me beaver and not making me eat the slop at the mess hall. I would get chills standing out there alone because I knew you were that bird and were just wanting to hang out. Thank you for the most spectaculur array of orange, yellows, and reds swirling through the sky at sunset. When I was stuck on campus for two months, I knew you were always there down by the docks ready to hang out. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think about you or want to give you a call. I miss hangin’ out with you on the docks at The Citadel. Thanks for watching over me Beaver.

    So, today was another monday, or so I thought! I headed down to Vidalia at around 0530 this morning and things were good. I received a call saying I needed to be back at the medical center in 1.5 hours. I am 1.5 hours away and not anywhere near leaving. I had to hurry home. As I reached triple digits in the man wagon, carrying my medical supplies, I was quickly pulled over by a state trooper. As I sat on the side of the road desperately thinking of a story, he knocked on my window. I was expecting something along the lines of, “what the hell were you thinking going over 100mph?”. Instead I got one of those idiot looks, and then he asked,”what the hell were you thinking?”…not much better I know, but atleast he opened me up for a story line. I felt like the kid in the movie christmas story as I spit out a million different stories about where I was going etc. After I explained my urgency of getting to the medical center, he let me go with a warning. As he turned to walk back to his car, I glanced at his name tag. It read, Weaver! Thanks for getting me outta that one buddy!

    Karen Klingelhofer – In a second, your whole life can change. Everything mapped out, but then quickly rearranged. Mikes a guy you could never forget. You’d be a friend of his, a minute after you’d met. He was smart and funny, with an addicting smile; if you asked a favor, he’d go the extra mile! If you were sad and alone, he would sit next to you- putting a grin on your face with something funny he would say or do!
    You look up towards God and ask Him, “Why? I didn’t get to say I love you or even good-bye!” There will be nights when you can’t stop weeping; head on pillow, wishing you could be sleeping. You think that things like this could never happen to you- but then when it does, what do you do?
    You try to keep going; taking it day by day. and know in the end that everything will be ok…
    This is part of a poem that I wrote in 2004. I wanted to share it. It made me smile and gave me some peace writing it, so maybe it will make others who read it smile too.
    Mike, you had such an impact on so many people’s lives. I don’t think you had any idea exactly how many. Look at how many people have visited your web site- that should give you a little clue!!Please keep looking over us. I always keep you in my prayers. We miss you!

    Dad – Mikey,
    Grandma told me the other day she was watching the team from Warner Robins in the Little League World Series and it made her think of the team I was on when I was growing up. Of course, my thoughts go to you, buddy, and the many good times we had on a Little League field. Maybe you sent those memories down to us; if so, thanks.
    Not a day goes by when we don’t think about you and what you’d be doing now. You will always be a part of us, we will always miss you, we will always remember that great smile, those friendly eyes, that kind and gentle nature, that quiet loving character. We will never forget you.
    Karen’s previous message is wonderful. We thank her for sending it. The words ring true. We will always love you.

Mom said on Sunday something special would happen to me today. Something special did happen – it was my first day of work.
    Thanks, little bro.
    Went to bed last night thinking about you and have been thinking of you all day. You are with me all the time. Know that you have not been forgotten, by me or anyone else whos life you touched.

Surely there was a big baseball game in heaven today.

    One funny memory—Bill, remember when you brought Mike down to use Tyler’s ferret for his Science project? You took pictures as Mike and Tyler tried to get Ginger, the ferret, to run through a maze that Mike had constructed with cardboard. I think the project was due the next day, but I’ll bet Mike made an A! Let’s learn from Mike—-Enjoy the game and don’t sweat the small stuff! He enjoyed playing with the ferret that had Erin standing on one or our kitchen chairs!

    Mrs. Weaver…I know it’s been a while, but I wanted you to know that I think of you and your family often. I have many memories of Mike and what a great friend he was to many. But most of all, I remember the days following his leaving us. I was attending GCSU so I saw Mike often on campus and I remember the difficulties his fraternity brother’s had after his passing. I also remember seeing Dan. I think that was the hardest part for me because I knew that as his family it had to be hard. But knowing what an incredible impact Mike had on many had to lift your spirits. He had such a profound impact on many and still continues to remain in the hearts of all who knew him. I can’t believe it’s been three years. My husband and I send our condolences. We love you and your family.

    Mike,
    I sit here and try and find something to say, but all I can think of is how much I miss you buddy. We had some great times throughout life up until that last night we all spent together. I went to a show last Wednesday night, and thought about you and how much I knew that you would have enjoyed it. I miss you and am so thankful for all the memories. Until we meet again. I love you and I miss you.

    Mike loved Christmas and his favorite breakfast was a handful of Christmas cookies and a large glass of milk. Occasionally, he’d just take a tin of cookies and go to the family room and graze through the different varieties….Mike’s favorite cookies were Madelines. Merry Christmas, Mikey.

    Happy Birthday, Mike. You would have been 22 years old today. What might you have done today? Gone to class? Taken a test? Written a paper? Worked at Loco’s? Called your friends? Attended a party? Talked to Dan and Molly, and Mom and Dad? Gone out to dinner with friends or family? Listened to music? Played video games? Watched the Food Channel? Tried a new recipe or a new spice? Perfected your cooking methods? Played golf? Downloaded some music on your computer? Pushed your hair back and tucked it under your green hat? You probably wouldn’t have shaved. You probably would have driven your little black car far enough to buy a little gas, and maybe you would have gone to buy groceries. You wouldn’t have worried too much about anything; you seldom did. You’d have had a smile on your face all day, your eyes would have sparkled. You would have brought joy into the lives of everyone you met today, and you’d have met lots of people because they would have found you — they enjoyed being around you. We miss you badly, but we love you more each day. Have a good one. Your family and friends wish you a very happy birthday.

Now it is the other way around since my mom now works at Appling Middle School. Dr. Weaver is the principal and my mom is the parent. I send out my condolences to the family.

    Wow, I can’t believe it has been two years already. August 16, 2003 is a day that will be hard for us to ever forget. I remember that last summer we all spent together like it was just yesterday. The guys were playing on a softball team out at Lake Oconee. Mike would sit in the back seat of Jimmy’s jeep on the way out there and the only words you’d hear come out of his mouth were the lyrics so some Widespread Panic or Allman Brothers song. The last time I saw Mike he was behind the bar at Loco’s putting away glasses, I couldn’t see him well from where I was standing but as soon as he looked up and waved, there was no way I mistake the huge grin as anyone other than Mike Weaver. Two years and one week later that moment is still frozen in my memory. You’ll never be forgotten, Mike.

I saw this website as a link on someone elses page today. Mike I miss that smiling face and actually having someone that even I had to look up to! I look at the pictures we took through the years of being in classes together often. Stan Brown’s class was always interesting… both of us slacked off at times!…I think everyone did actually!….I miss you though and I am glad that I have found this website and am able to just put on paper what I feel.Hi Dan, Mr. and Mrs. Weaver, and Molly…praying all is well…Love,Karmen

    Mike used to date my sister, Rachel Watts. Once when he was at our house he parked his car on the hill infront of our house, like he usually did. We were all just sitting and talking when randomly Mike jumps up and runs for the door. He forgot that there was a storm door and ran straight into it, bounced off and then opened the door and ran outside. He had seen his car rolling down the hill and chased it all the way down Hines Terrace. It was hialrious.

    I have many memories of Mike, having spent the majority of my high school years at the Weaver household, but a time that particularly comes to mind was the night of Molly and my junior prom. I remember taking pictures while Mike and Dan watched, and then watching Molly, Mike, and Dan take a picture together. I remember that he had on that map shirt and was just all smiles watching his sister all dressed up for prom. The Weaver family was very big part in my teenage years (and still is ;)) and although I am friends of the family through Molly, I do think of Mike and miss him often.

    Mike often joined our family on trips, especially trips to the mountains in North Carolina. In fact, I met my family up there last summer, and when I got there I noticed he had not come with Alec, which led me to ask, “where’s Mike?” It just seemed strange without him there. Anyway, I guess he wasn’t able to make it that time. On one trip a few summers ago, we all decided to rent a big raft to take down the river. Well, we were a very sorry sight– as vast as that river was, we couldn’t go two feet without getting stuck on a rock. We laughed the whole time. Mike was such an easy person to be around. Always happy. My family just went up there this past weekend, and it’s just not the same without “Meat Clever Weaver,” as my dad fondly refers to him. But I will say his presence is still felt down on the creek through many happy memories. Mr. Weaver- thanks so much for this website- it’s really wonderful.

    I knew Mike because I am one of Molly’s sorority sisters. One of my first memories of him was when he and Adam Dukes came to a DZ formal when they were still in highschool with Molly and Leigh. They all hung out in our apartment before the formal and we had so much fun. I think every girl there was memorized by Mike’s endearing and beautiful eyes. And of course Dan continued the tradition by attending another DZ formal when he was in highschool as well. I will always cherish my memories with Mike, Molly and Dan and my daily prayers are with the Weaver family as you go through this time.

    As a teacher you get to know young people in many ways. Sometimes you teach them, sometimes you hear about them, sometimes you observe them in their unguarded moments as they move through the halls. The latter two was my association with Mike. He was tall, dark eyed, and reminded me of my own son who was also a Central Charger. When we watch these youngsters, just being themselves, a great deal of their character shows. Mike showed a great deal of character and that wonderful smile. Even though he wasn’t smiling at me , I just had to smile back.

    To Mike: You will be deeply missed by your family and friends. You were a tribute to all that is good and pure in life. To Bill and Erin: My thoughts and prayers are with you. Mike was a fine young man, and was taken from us far too soon. I will always miss fishing with him at Pawley’s Island many years ago, when we all were a lot younger. I know that you are very proud of the man he had become. To Molly & Dan: Please remember your brother as the kind and gentle soul that he was, and how he enriched every life he touched. We all are better people having had Mike Weaver touch our lives.

I was shocked to read of your son’s death in the Iowegian. I think Molly was just a baby when you left. I have 3 children of my own now, and I can only imagine what you must be going through. As I read through other guest book entries, phrases like “the greatest woman ever” (referring to you), and “just like his mom” stood out to me. I can tell that he was a very special person, just as you were to me. I think of you often and want you to know that your family is in my prayers.
