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 good man who will missed by many. Sympathy to Mrs. Weaver and his family. May God be with you in this time of your sorrow.
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!
This is just amazing! NHS students actually care about things like this. They’re all a huge family! Who organized this???
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 .
Mrs Weaver im so sorry about your loss and i do hope you are doing well. May God be with you and your family during this time.
Mrs. Weaver, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. You believed in me, when I had little belief in myself! You have also help me to guid my own High School students to success. Chelsea and Kade told me what a wonderful teacher your husband was to many…His legacy will live through the amazing students is Nort View High!!!!!!!!! Love to Mrs, Weaver, Our Toby, and the entire Weaver family<3
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.
