James Manfred Weaver

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 many 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!

James is survived by his wife of 50 years, Nancy King Weaver; his son, Jason Alan Weaver; his daughter, Jamie Weaver Mincey and husband, John; his grandchildren, Andy Mincey and Maggie Mincey; his brother, Ronnie Weaver and wife, Sheila; and several nieces and nephews.
