Biography

Robert Weedin served 19 years in law enforcement, active at the time of his death. He was studying to become a Deacon with the Catholic Church. A man of quiet, deep talents — he made beautiful stained glass window hangings, loved woodworking, and played trombone throughout college. He was a devoted fan of Seattle Mariners baseball. Most of all, he was a father. His sister Susan, who submitted his record to be honored, said simply: he loved his children Joey and Renae above everything. Family always came first. He was 40 years old.
