CENTRE HALL - On Feb. 22, 1977, at 10:02 a.m., God gave to Lester A. and Marilyn C. Weaver, of Aaronsburg, a wonderful gift. He was named Adam Robert Elmer Weaver (after his grandfathers).

His soul and spirit returned to God on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009, at 9:03 p.m. from Geisinger Medical Center, Danville.

On Oct. 1, 2005, he married his friend and kindred spirit, Jessica Louise Nale, of Barrville, whom survives in Centre Hall.

He also is survived by his brother, Jonathan A. Weaver and sister-in-law, Stacie and nephews, Chase and Jakob, of Connellsville; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, William B. and Amy L. Nale, of Barrville and his sister-in-law, Samantha E. Nale, of Barrville; his grandparents, Robert and Caroline Clarke, of Wynnwood House, Centre Hall, and Madeline M. Weaver, of Centre Hall.

His grandfather, Elmer Weaver, preceded him in death on Dec. 31, 1999.

He also is survived by his aunt and uncle, Ronald and Noreen Weaver, of Bellefonte and their children, his cousins, Jereme Clarke Weaver, of Tyrone and Megan L Collins, of Louisville, Ky.; and his aunt, Harriet Weaver, of Harrisburg, (his Uncle Lewis Weaver, who he never knew, preceded him in death on Feb. 20, 1969) and their children, his cousins, Steven Weaver, of State College, Glenda Weaver Bell, Richard Weaver, Douglas Weaver, and Anne Weaver Morrow, of Harrisburg; and many loving second cousins and friends.

He attended Penns Valley Area schools where he was graduated in 1995. He also attended South Hills Business School where he graduated in 2003.

Many of you may have come in contact with his kind and courteous ways at his employers, Burkholders Country Market, Millheim and Weis Markets (Allentown, Bellefonte, Westerly Parkway, Martin Street and Hills Plaza) where he was in management.

He was a hard worker and always willing to lovingly and patiently show his customers where they could find what they were looking for at the markets.

Adam had no idea how many lives he touched through his work and his illness. The nurses, aides, and doctors at Geisinger Medical Center, Special Care Unit 3, became part of our extended family and we will always be grateful to them for the love and care they extended to Adam in the 46 days he spent there with them. We thank all those who have been praying for Adam through his three-month battle with cancer.

The number of you he led to God in prayer for his healing is awesome and overwhelming and is a testimony to his life. Please keep your relationship with God alive and well in honor of his life.

A friends and family gathering will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 25, 2009, at Heintzelman Funeral Home, 226 South Pennsylvania Ave., Centre Hall.

A celebration of Adam's life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept, 26, 2009, at St. Peter's United Church of Christ, Aaronsburg, with the Rev. Faith McCausland officiating.

Contributions in memory of Adam may be made to St. Peter's United Church of Christ, P.O. Box 24, Aaronsburg, PA 16520 or to Home Instead Care, 2330 Commercial Blvd., No. 500, State College, PA 16801.
