James Joseph Weaver Jr., 69, of 435 Haines St., Kane, PA passed away Sunday (Nov. 19) at his home surrounded by his loving family.  

Born Sept. 15, 1954, in Ft. Benning, GA, he is the son of the late James and Lola (McKenna) Weaver.  On March , 1, 1996, in Las Vegas, he married Judy Bloss, who survives.

Jim had worked in the Oil Fields, retiring as a Superintendent of Field Operations.

He was a member of the Kane Area Tavern Pool League for over 25 years and was an avid hunter and especially enjoyed hunting turkeys. Some of the family’s greatest memories were spent with him in the woods. He had a great sense of humor and a quick wit, and oftentimes would find a way to inject humor into any situation. He was also a self taught artist, and he enjoyed painting items of sentimental value for his friends and family. Those special gifts he left behind will be cherished forever. His grandchildren were the love of his life.  He was a proud Papa who enjoyed spending as much time as possible with his grandchildren who absolutely adored him.

In addition to Judy, the love of his life, he is also survived by three sons, James (Monica) Weaver of Beaver, Andrew (Jennifer) Johnson and Colton Johnson, both of Kane; three  granddaughters, Lola and Claire Weaver and Avery Johnson; two grandsons, Charlie Weaver  and Levi Johnson; five sisters, Charmaine Wade of CA, Diane Miller of CA, Nita Reireson of ID, Jeanine Weaver of SC and Renee Weaver of Kane; one brother Bill Weaver of Pen Argyl and a special uncle, Richard Weaver of VA and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and a daughter-in-law, Monica Weaver.

A celebration of Jim’s life will be held at a future date.

Memorial donations may be made to the McKean County SPCA, 80 Glenwood Ave, Bradford, PA 16701 or any animal charity of donor’s choice.
