Wallace Ray Weaver, 44, of New Baden, Texas died on January 30, 2017 around 830 in the morning from a single vehicle accident. Wallace Weaver also known as Wally from family and friends, was born in Waco, Texas on March 29, 1972. Wally graduated from Reicher Catholic High School. Wally was a volunteer fire fighter with Franklin Fire Department for around 20 years. Wally always loved to help others in any possible way that he could. If someone needed a shirt, he would have easily given the one off his back. He always thought of others before himself. He enjoyed spending time at the Church of New Baden and always supported his wife and motivated her to keep faith after the loss of her mother in September of 2012. He would do anything to make a person smile or laugh. He loved anything outdoors especially if it involved horses such as Fort Parker Trail Ride. He loved everyone including God's furry creatures. Wally and Crystal did not have any children but, he always said that their animals were his babies. Wally was a very hard and dedicated worker, who loved to teach others his knowledge and was eager to learn new things. He was employed with Suddenlink for around 20 years and with Frontier for a little over a year, until his death. Wally met his wife, Crystal Weaver, in the year of January 2013. Crystal and Wally were married on May 3, 2014. Although, their time together was brief, it was full of cherishable moments and plenty of love and laughter. Wally always made sure that he would tell Crystal that he loved her every single day, multiple times a day. If Wally could have given her the moon or the stars over Texas he would have. Wally loved to country dance, and that was one thing that he did when he proposed to Crystal at Fort Parker Trail Ride. Wally enjoyed DJ'ing at Fort Parker and at wedding ceremonies. Wally will forever be remembered as a kind and loving man, to anyone he crossed paths with, especially his wife whom he adored.
