James Weaver was born on December 7, 1913 near Wichita Falls, Texas to James Levi and Lou Ellen Weaver Brown. The oldest of 3 boys, he grew up on a ranch where he enjoyed riding horses, mules and calves. He lived for a time in Martin County where he and his brothers enjoyed playing ball. Weaver's family came to Big Spring where his dad worked for L and L Lumber Company, so Weaver learned carpentry. He farmed in Howard County for 35 years until retiring.
From January 1942 to November 1945, he served in the United States Army in World War II as Technician Fifth Grade with the 79th Quartermaster Depot in the European, African and Middle Eastern Theaters.
A month later on December 4, 1945, he married Margaret McDonald in Big Spring and they raised two children.
He enjoyed ranch life and an occasional hike in the snow when he could find some. Reading too was a favorite pastime, but the best of all was going hunting with his hounds.
He was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Survivors include his wife, Margaret Brown of Big Spring; his daughter and son- n-law, Dr. Marylou and Dr. Mike Rings of Columbus, Ohio and three grandchildren, Katie Rings, Lindsey Rings and Danny Rings all of Columbus, Ohio.
He was preceded in death by his son, Jimmy Brown on September 5, 1989 and by one brother, Victor Brown.
The family will receive friends from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM Tuesday at the funeral home.
Arrangements under the direction of Nalley-Pickle & Welch Funeral Home.
