Sergeant First Class Aaron James Weaver came into the world on October 7, 1983. After a courageous and long battle with depression, Aaron James left this world on August 2, 2020.
Aaron enlisted in the military after September 11, 2001. Directly after high school graduation, he joined the Army full time and has continued his career there. AJ was a member of the 82nd Airborne Division. His deployments include Iraq from November 2005-November 2006, Iraq from April 2008-May 2009, Korea July 2014-July 2015, and he returned back to Iraq from April 2017-December 2017. Aaron served at the following bases: Ft. Sill, Camp Atterbury, Camp Casey South Korea, Joint Base Lewis McCord, and Ft. Bragg. AJ's military awards are many and they include: The Combat Action Badge, 3 Meritory Service Medals, 3 Army Commendation Medals, and completed Air Assault School. His fellow unit members would tell you that he was one of the kindest men you would meet. He would speak his mind but judging of people, he did not. He enjoyed playing jokes on his unit, and he was a good recipient of gentle jabs from them. He is remembered by his big smile and greater than life hug. His sisters would tell you that he always made them feel protected. He may not have let his sisters know it, but he always had their backs and would protect them. He often went along with his sisters' requests, even if that meant that they got to dress him up and put makeup on him (he never would admit this). He was a sweet soul. Aaron was a member of the United States Military Veterans Bike Club. The members of this club meant the world to Aaron. He enjoyed his times with them and he was very thankful of the support they provided to him during his times of need. They are a brotherhood and are his extended family. Aaron James will be missed by so many.
He is preceded in death by his grandfather Richard Tuck, grandmothers Lynn Whitley and Peggy Weaver.
Aaron is survived by his children Jaxon, Gaven, and Harli Weaver, and their mother Jennifer Brezinka. His mother Jackie Stoner and fiancé James Miller. His father Randy and stepmother Jenny Weaver. Aaron's siblings include Tosha and husband Bryan Potter of Weatherford, Lauren Musick-Day, and Sarah, Kristen, Zach, Caleb, and Hannah Weaver of Weatherford, Oklahoma. Grandparents include Betty and Larry Skelton, Jimmy and MaryJane Weaver and Grandfather Buddy Whitley. He has 3 nephews: Cameron George, Pehton Potter, and Edan Musick-Day.
