Donald A. "Rocky" Weaver

Donald "Rocky" Weaver, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother, passed away peacefully at home in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, November 13, 2025, at the age of 89, surrounded by his loving family.

Born on January 16, 1936, in Pleasant Corners, Lehigh County, Donald was the son of the late Robert Sr. and Mildred (Scheirer) Weaver. He was also preceded in death by his sister, Janet Weaver, and his brother, Paul Weaver.

Donald is survived by his devoted wife of 69 years, Rose Marie (Bierstein) Weaver. He leaves behind a legacy through his daughter and dedicated caregiver, Christine M. Stianche and her husband Michael; his son, Jeffrey A. Weaver and his companion Lori White; his brother, Robert Weaver, Jr.; his grandchildren, Courtney Tenisci and her husband Joe, and Brett Weaver and his wife Alicia; and his great-grandchildren, Sophia and Emilia Tenisci, and Ali Weaver. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.

A man of integrity and good humor, Donald retired from the Tamaqua Area School District after 22 years of service. He worked at both the Tamaqua Junior High School and later at Rush Elementary, where he cherished his interactions with both staff and students. Before his time with the school district, Donald was employed by D.C. Spinosa Contracting. Donald looked forward to mornings spent at the former Hope's Mini Market.

An avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, Donald was also an ardent Philadelphia sports fan, finding joy in cheering for the Phillies and Eagles. He was a long-standing member of St. John's U.C.C. in Tamaqua.
