Thomas Weathers Obituary
Thomas was born on February 24, 1952 in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of James and Lorraine (Moberly) Weathers. He graduated from Turner High in 1970. Growing up in Kansas City, Kansas, he was a lifetime Kansas City Chiefs fan. He received an undergraduate degree from Pittsburg State University, and a graduate degree (MA) from Friends University. He retired from Kansas Gas Service as a Facilities Manager in 2014 after 40 years of service.
He was active in the Boy Scouts of America and was a Wood Badge Leader during and after the time when his sons achieved the rank of Eagle Scout.
Thomas loved the outdoors, and spent his time gardening and fishing at the lake. He especially enjoyed fly fishing in Missouri, and spent many summers as a child at Roaring River State Park; he passed his love for fly fishing on to his wife, sons, and grandchildren.
He loved spending time with his grandchildren. They were the apple of his eye, and no wrong could be done by them.
He was a member of the Holy Family Catholic Church in Eudora, and the Knights of Columbus, 4th Degree.
Thomas is survived by his wife of 46 years, Mary of the home; sons Jason (Nikki) Weathers, Shawnee, KS and Casey (Jessica) Weathers, Artesia, NM; grandchildren Isabella and Jackson; siblings Doug (Letha) Weathers, Dan (Elsa) Weathers, and Julie Barker all of Smyrna, TN; and many nieces and nephews.
