He attended high school at Smiley High School in Houston and one year of college at Blinn College. Joe joined the U. S. Marine Corps and proudly served his country during the Vietnam War. He met and married Barbara in 1967 in Houston and together they had two sons, Andrew and Allen. He was a member of the American Legion in Anderson . Joe was raised a Master Mason in 1976 and was a past Master of the Conroe Masonic Lodge #748 A.F.&A.M. In 1988, Joe suffered a tragic horseback riding accident, resulting in life-long physical limitations. During his recovery and rehabilitation, he lost his wife Barbara and son, Andy to cancer in 1990. His unwavering faith in God and support from family and friends enabled him to continue raising his son Allen as a single parent. In spite of the tribulations life handed him, Joe never took a moment to complain. Rather he became a beacon of hope to others, always taking the time to offer encouragement. His values, perseverance and work ethic bespoke of a small town country boy that lived by the word of God. Joe was immensely proud of his son Allen, as well as his daughter-in-law Ashley and his four beautiful granddaughters. Left with his legacy and love for life are son and daughter-in-law Allen and Ashley Weaver of Navasota; sister Sherryl Hutchinson of Humble; brother and sister-in-law Patrick and Joyce Weaver of Houston; daughter-in-law Beverly Weaver-Yargo of Anderson and granddaughters Brooke, Brianna, Braelyn and Bristol Weaver of Navasota.
