David Ellis Weaver was born on December 14, 1977-a little fiery ball of red hair and orneriness. From a young age, David stood out as a societal misfit for his non-traditional, non-conformist personality.

He grew up in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, near Lake Gordon, and held fond memories of playing in Evitts Creek alongside his brothers, cousins, and friends. David channeled life's hardships into becoming a brilliant and talented artist, writing poetry, drawings, or creating music. Writing music for him was endless and beautiful.

David was also an avid cat lover, rescuing any stray he came across and filling his home while making himself a true "crazy cat lady." He was an empathetic and loving person who never judged anyone and touched so many lives. He offered support to anyone in need and constantly encouraged others to pursue their own talents in life.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Larry Ray Weaver and Mary Susan "Sue" Weaver. He is survived by and will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

The world will not be the same without him.
