| | | On October 10, 2008, Donald G Weaver, died at his home after courageously living with Appendicle Cancer. He leaves this physical world with immense gratitude for his family and friends who have been a great source of love and comfort over the last several months.
DG Weaver, son of G Donald Weaver and Madeline Warren Weaver, was born on July 18, 1953 in Rutland, Vermont. He graduated from South Burlington High School in 1971. DG then graduated from the University of Vermont in 1975, earning his BA in History. He went on to graduate from the University of Vermont in 1987 earning a MA in Administration and Planning.
After working in the Springfield, MA area for a couple of years, DG returned to Vermont in 1978 to begin his career in education as a Social Studies teacher at Milton Junior-Senior High School. After six years of teaching, DG became the Extracurricular Activities Director for Milton Junior-Senior High School. The following year, DG became the Assistant Principal in addition to his position as Activities Director. He maintained those duties through the 1989-1990 school year with the exception of one year as Interim Principal in 1987-88. During his time in Milton, DG coached a number of sports including softball, boys’ soccer and ice hockey.
In 1990, DG accepted a position as Assistant Principal and Athletic Director at Burlington High School. During the 1995-96 school year, DG was named Interim Principal. Following that year, DG remained Assistant Principal at Burlington High School until the present. Among his many accomplishments, DG played a key role in passing a bond vote that allowed significant improvements in the outside athletic facilities at Burlington High School, including a new turf field and an eight lane track.
DG leaves us with the legacy of a life well lived – as husband, parent, son, brother, uncle, friend, and colleague. He will be forever remembered for his dedication, integrity, genuine and caring manner, and his remarkable ability to develop and maintain relationships with others.
He is survived by the love of his life, his wife Larissa K Urban; his beloved children Tim, Megan and Molly Weaver; Don and Madeline Weaver, parents; Martha Small, sister, Jeff Small, brother-in-law, Justin Small, nephew; Peggy Weaver, sister, Jim Nolting, brother-in-law, Maddie and Dylan Nolting, niece and nephew; and Mary Jo Weaver, sister, Isaiah Benes, nephew, Hannah Benes, niece.
