Miss you Johnny. To a great friend that will also be remembered. I’m so sad I’ve lost 2 of my closest and best friends from my High School years.

We shoulder up with you and wish you solace and resignation during these difficult moments.

Thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. John was an amazing man who loved his family. ??

I am truly sad today for Johnny’s family and anyone else who knew him. If there has been a kinder, happier, more generous man in this World, please tell me who it was. From Plantation Park Elementary in 1969 when Johnny went out his way to pick me (the new kid) in our daily basketball games at recess…to winning a bet with me that the James Gang produced Funk 49 with only three people…I will miss him and only regret that I didn’t do more to stay better in touch over these last 40 years. Yes…and I witnessed those two free throws to win the District and a thousands and thousands of other points along the way not to mention the best tight end in the county and the smartest guy I ever knew. From our home room table in 7th grade, we lost Scott, Chris, Andy and now Johnny. We better make the best of our lives people…I know Johnny would agree.

May you rest in peace John. Our hearts, prayers, and love go out to you and your loving family. May God keep you and comfort you all.

We’re so saddened to learn of John’s passing. Our sincere condolences to Elizabeth and family.

We are so saddened to hear of John’s passing. he was truly a selfless and caring man. We will always remember the gifts he gave of himself to the community and that great smile he always had on his face. Rest easy John, we will miss you.

John is still influencing our world with his inner beauty. His rays of good will and love continue to hug those he loved as well as those he has not yet met. Your family is full of splendor and kindness. This is what will keep you in your purpose and path. We are all much better for knowing you.

Our prayers and thoughts go to all of John’s loved ones. He was an incredible individual. Kind and considerate to everyone he knew. He will be missed!

It was a pleasure meeting John at last years fundraiser. Elizabeth and John were a perfect example of what we can all be. Our sympathy to his wife Elizebeth, and his entire family. Rest in Peace.

I’m so sadden by the news that John is no longer with us. The John I knew from way back when was always even-keeled, kind and one of the smartest people I knew. John Loved his family very much, which was evident in the Pride he took on Facebook when speaking about his wife Liz, his kids and then in becoming a Proud Grandfather! John’s daily presence will surely be missed by his Family and Friends..Until We Meet Again??

For a fine and generous man that routinely gave his time and passion to his community and to his beautiful wife – you will be remembered by us all with a smile and thankful prayer to have spent some time with you.

John, I will remember you as so dear a true stalwart, you where kind and loving and I saw the love that you showed to those you encountered and the way you loved and supported your wife during my time on the Suits, Stilettos and Lipstick board. I am just so sad that only learned about your passing today and missed the opportunity to be there at your memorial. You where already and angel on earth and now you go to look after your loved ones left here on earth. Rest well and no more pain and suffering is a triumph. xoxo

Words could never express the correct words to say or silence cannot portray the deepest empathy to share. But because we have experience loss this year, we will share prayers that could only give us comfort and strength. Our condolences. We are hear to hold hands.

The Johnny I know is a warm, smart, funny man; and also a true original. Conversation with Johnny was something to look forward to, brecause he was never out to impress you, but instead made you feel that your thoughts and ideas really mattered. It just felt so good to be around him. The loss to his family, friends and the community he served is immeasurable. My heart goes out to Liz, Corrine, his family and the many who loved him. There’s just nobody else like him.

Johnny "The Dream" Weaver, as Snooze so aptly reminded us, was truly an original. He was a totally rare combination of graciouness, intellect, empathy and compassion who, because he was such a great listener, always made you feel as if he completely understood your point of view even if he didn’t agree with it. John was the guy I always felt comfortable talking to about any subject. As you can imagine, as 20-something guys in Fort Lauderdale, most of our conversations centered around Sports and girls. And don’t get me wrong, John could go on for hours on either of those subjects… but he was also the guy with whom you could venture off into ethics, or business, or the psychology of human nature and for me, his friendship and those talks helped me develop my own sense of humanity. Liz, I really want to thank you for allowing me to speak at the Celebration of Life because I wanted to try to convey to those gathered there something that by the time I left, I realized they all already knew. That John would always "See the light in others, and treat them as if that was all he could see". John, I know by now that you’ve climbed that "Stairway to Heaven". So be at peace "Dream", I’m a better man for having know you, my brother.

John, you’re already missed. Red Hot Chili Peppers and Converse in all possible colors. 😉 You were and are still one of the coolest people in the world. Love. Peace.

When Elizabeth was honored as a Hispanic Woman of Distinction, I met John at the event. He walked his beautiful wife down the runway….and had a sense of pride that showed in his smile. When he became ill, I added John to my morning prayers for his comfort during his medical crisis. We always knew our dear Lord was in control and wanted to bring John "home" to heaven. Elizabeth now has her own personal angel watching down over her….and will continue to "walk her" through her life with love.

John was the gentlemen’s gentleman and I valued him so much for he modeled what I hope I would be to my wife, caring, supportive and always there. He always greeted me warmly at SASSY events! – Hiram || I pray that God will comfort you and give you strength as you navigate the loss of your best friend, husband and greatest cheerleader. We are so sorry for your loss and while you will never forget him, we pray the pain will cease as you recall the wonderful memories you had with John. Sending love and light your way.

To John’s family, May Gods grace envelope you with love and strength during this most difficult time. I share this prayer with you in hopes it may help you on your journey. With love always, Lourdes Holy Mother Father God, Divine loving Light and heart of the Universe, I humbly ask for the healing power of your grace to soothe my broken heart, as I face the losses before me. I pray, please help me manage the grief I am now feeling. Please send in your angels to lift this heavy fog of pain, as I slowly find my way forward. Even though it is so challenging to accept the depth of my loss, l know that this, too, is a holy moment in my life. Grant me the strength to carry on. I thank you in advance, with my whole heart and soul, for answering my prayer, and I am grateful you are with me at this time. Amen and with infinite gratitude. May John’s beautiful light of love continue to embrace you and hold you. May his soul continue to transcend and evolve in love.

My Dearest Friend, During this most difficult time in your life, please know that you have created a tribe of women who will make sure that you never do life alone. I will never forget the promises I made to John that fateful day and I will do everything in my power to be there for you. I have so many memories of John, most of them were hilarious like to trying to get to place in Miami in horrible traffic with little to no gas, John laughing at us giggling over the Men in the Hot Seat, him puling me aside to tell me to get rid of the firemen because he knew you would "listen to me." Most of all I remember how he loved you. He is the epitome of a loving husband, a gentle soul, and giving father. He is a true SASSY Cat and a feminist. He has impacted the lives of so many and he will live on through you. I love you with all my heart and please know we are not friends, we are family.

John was a wonderful person, and i’m priviledged to say he was a good friend. always sweet, with a smile and would always answer with "that’s a great idea". encourging me to always shoot for the stars. we shared anecdotes about our kids, goals in life and so forth. he will be greatly missed. heaven gained an angel – for sure……..

Mama, I picked a red candle for you. I love you so much. [He stretches his arms wide and says, "so big."] Love, Micah [Message dictated by Micah, 3 years old]

I love you, Pap-Pap. I miss you. I miss playing basketball and soccer with you. It was so much fun when you came to Disney World with me to meet Mickey. I wish I could still play with you, Pap-Pap. Love, Micah [Message dictated by John’s 3 year-old grandson, Micah]

Elizabeth, I cannot imagine living my life without my soulmate. It is wonderful that you have so many great memories. When I saw John he always had his eyes scouring the room looking for you with love in his eyes. He would wish for you to carry on this journey that you started. He was beyond proud of what you have accomplished in such a short time. I know he left you with strength to go on. Love Lori

I am saddened to have stumbled across John’s (Johnny) obituary today, so long after his passing. We only knew each other for a couple of years playing high school basketball and getting into occasional trouble, but I am extremely heartened to read how his life was such a positive beacon for so many. He was one of the most interesting conversationalists to me, even at that impressionable adolescent age. As Jim Wilson said, in so many words, ‘woulda, coulda, shoulda’. Life takes everyone in so many different directions though.
