Stephen went home to be with his Lord and Savior on July 19, 2012. First and foremost, Stephen was a devoted believer in Jesus Christ. His life revolved around his wife, daughters, and granddaughters. He sacrificed as much as he could to give them all the love and care they needed. He was an avid patriot, constitutionalist, survivalist, hunter, fisherman, and dinosaur bone seeker. The time he spent on this earth was used to reach out to others with the word of God using his love and grace through faith. He left us with a wealth of knowledge and he will be greatly missed. He is survived by his wife & soul mate for 30 years, Shawn Weigel; three daughters, Tera, Giovanna, and Kairee; two grandchildren, Cierra and Brooklyn; parents, Stephen and Caroline Weigel; brother, James Weigel; two sisters, Margaret Ford and Julie May. A celebration to honor Stephen’s life will be held Thursday August 2nd 2012, 5pm at the Ball & Dodd Funeral Home, 5100 W. Wellesley Ave. Spokane, WA 99205. The family invites you to visit www.ballanddodd.com to see photographs, enter a memory of Stephen, and sign the online register book.
