James Bradshaw “Brad” Weaver, age 56

It is with a broken heart that the family of James Bradshaw “Brad” Weaver notifies his friends and extended family that we lost our beloved Brad to a heart attack on Wednesday, December 4, 2019 at his home in Scott, AR.

Brad was born on February 24, 1963 in Englewood, New Jersey. He played football and graduated from Cabot High School in 1982. After high school he attended the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. He worked in construction and masonry, drove ‘big trucks’, and a variety of other trades throughout his life.

Brad was loved by all who knew him, but more importantly he loved them. His love, kindness, and generosity knew no bounds. He had a raucous wit, smart sarcasm, and a deeply infectious laugh.
