Northview Students Organize Procession To Honor Tommy Weaver

March 8, 2012

Northview High School students honored the late Tommy Weaver Thursday morning with a mile-long procession to the school.

Students gathered before school began at the LCpl. Travis M. Nelson Park on West Highway 4 in Bratt to share memories about the beloved coach and teacher who passed away Wednesday.

The students then formed a vehicle procession to the school parking lot in honor of Weaver. As the vehicles passed by the school, most of the students stared quietly ahead, many visibly crying.

    A great man, most of us especially seniors knew Big Weave, as Grandad! He was more than just the teacher, but a mentor a friend to anyone! The person you could talk to about anything! But now him and Wade are watching over NHS, and like one NHS senior said, he wont be able to be at the class of 2012 graduation, but he will get to hold our hand as each one of us, walk across that stage!

    To one of our own northview chief family members, he will be missed dearly. He has touched so many lives of others and will be missed at the side lines of football,baseball,etc. My thoughts go out to mrs.weaver and her family in this time of need you are in our thoughts and prays and he is with us always he is deeply missed . And the thought of the students doing a ride in for him truly shows how much he means to them and how much he has touched theirs lives .

    Northview has the best students of all and this shows how much of an impact Mr. Weaver had on them: current and past students. He was very good man and will be dearly missed. My heart and condolences go out to Mrs. Weaver, Toby, and the entire Weaver family.

    My mother and father (Mr. Bobby and Mrs. Kathy Ewing of Century) would like to send their prayers to the entire Weaver family as well.

    Way to go Northview students! I don’t know of any other school in the area that would do such a thing. Makes me proud to be where I’m from and have graduated from NHS! :)

    I am tearing reading this. My son is a junior at Northview and was so upset by the loss of Mr. Weaver. My son would talk of him often and I could tell how much he geniunely cared for the kids. I feel so bad for these students after just losing a beloved classmate they are having to go through losing someone close to their hearts again. I pray for his family,staff and students. He will be so missed by the entire Northview family…..

    When I see the students take time for this, on several occasions now, it just touches my heart. I’m sure it’s also appreciated and heart warming to the families that they do this for. Thoughts and prayers to the families, friends and students as they grieve once more for a NHS loss.

    Did not know Mr. Weaver, but you can tell he was a very loved teacher and mentor for many students. What a tribute! Thoughts and prayers to the family and students.
