Joseph Nathaniel Weaver, 92, passed away peacefully at home in Helendale, CA on Tuesday, May 3, 2017. He is survived by his children Alexander and his wife Diana, Joseph and his wife Dana, Henry and his wife Hsiu-Pi, and Linda and her fiancé Edwin. Joseph was an Uncle to 6, an amazing Grandfather to 13, and great-grandfather to 23, a great-great grandfather to 2, and a good friend to his neighbors on Chula Vista Street.

Joseph enlisted in the US Army/Air Force on April 22, 1946. He was one of the original members of the US Air Force after the Army-Air Force split in 1947. While stationed in the Phillipines, he met and fell in love with Luisa Carino whom he cherished until her death in 2006. One of his many achievements while in the military was working with General MacArthur, whom he credits for signing orders allowing him to return to the Phillipines from Japan to marry Luisa. After retiring from the USAF as a SMSgt, he served on the board at High Desert Federal Credit Union. He and Lucy enjoyed a full retirement at their home on Chula Vista Street in Victorville, CA. After Lucy's death, he spent the next ten years in the loving care of Henry & Hsiu-Pi.

Joseph loved working on his computer, watching westerns and music DVDs especially Tina Turner. He lived a full life and was able to witness so much change in his lifetime, such as President Obama being inaugurated. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Lucy Carino Weaver (2006) and dear sister Wilhelmina Miller (2009). He was loved by many and will be missed.
