Michael E. Weston, 76, of Longmont, Colorado passed away in Lafayette on Sunday, May 21, 2017. Mike was born on April 9, 1941 in Denver, Colorado to Howard and Alice Weston. He moved with his mother and siblings to Gunnison in 1946 to live with his grandparents. He grew to love the outdoors while living there, fishing alongside his dog Tippy. He worked several odd jobs including digging up worms with his grandfather and selling them along the Gunnison River, which helped him buy a new bike and lawn mower. He was quite industrious even as a child. A few years later his grandparents and mother relocated to the warmer weather of Montrose, CO, where he graduated from Montrose High School in 1959. Soon after he enlisted with the US Air Force, after tech school he was stationed at Wethersfield AFB in Essex England, where he met his wife Lori at a local dance. It was love at first site, he asked Lori to marry him within days, although she turned him down the first time she soon accepted his proposal and they were married the following March 18th, 1961. Their first child Mark was born May 4, 1962 and a daughter Linda soon followed Nov. 5th 1963.
After serving four years in the service he reenlisted for another four years, relocating him and his new young family to George AFB, Victorville, California. In 1967 he had a choice of reenlisting or civilian life, he chose civilian life and ended up in Longmont Colorado. He started working for IBM shortly after and continued his career with them for 30 years. He was delighted to be back in his beloved Colorado. He enjoyed fishing and hunting, was a handy man remodeling his homes, and participated in other activities. Mainly he enjoyed his golfing league and especially loved his Wednesday night bowling at Longmont Lanes and Centennial Lanes for many years with his buddies. The fishing trips he took annually after bowling season ended was a highlight every year for him. His fondest memories were his hole in one at Ute Creek Golf Course, bowling a 298 high score (dang so close to a perfect score of 300) and attending his grandkids many school activities and sporting events.
He is survived by his wife of 56 years Lori Weston, his children Mark (Janae) Weston, and Linda (Craig Hahn), and his five grandchildren Brooke (and Josh Brown) & Sean Weston, Haley, Kalli and Trey Hahn. He will be lovingly remembered by his family and friends. A memorial service will be held at Howe Mortuary on Thursday, June 1st at 2:00PM.
