November 21, 1970 –
 January 15, 2015

Obituary

‘And can it be that in a world so full and busy the loss of one creature
makes a void so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of
eternity can fill it up.’ ~ Charles Dickens

Ben Alan Weaver, Sr passed away at his home in Irving, Texas on Thursday,
January 15, 2015.  He was 44 years old.

Ben was born on November 21, 1970 to Ray and Kay Weaver and grew up in
Irving.  He attended Nimitz High School and enlisted in the US Army.  Ben
enjoyed being outdoors, working on anything from audio speakers and cars,
and helping family and friends with anything they needed.  He always
helped anyone unconditionally. Ben loved making people smile and laugh; not
many have met him that cannot tell countless stories of his humor and
laughter –  and last, but not least, Ben was a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan.

He is survived by his parents (Wylie), his son, Ben Weaver, Jr (Irving);
his brother, David Weaver (Arlington); and younger sisters, Hannah Byrnes
(Summersville, WV) and Sarah Kalaj (Wylie); 2 nephews and 5 nieces.  Ben
is also survived by his beloved dog, Achilles, or as he lovingly referred
to as Pibbles.

Ben will always be remembered for the laughter he brought into our lives.

A celebration of Ben’s life will be held and announced at a later date.

    Ben was such a character. I have so many silly memories with Ben. He could make me laugh SO hard that I cried. I loved Ben and will never forget him.

    B.D I will always love you. I feel stupid for finding out this late. Even though I never actually met you since I was less than a week old I feel like I knew you as well as I could through our Facebook chats and the occasional phone calls we had. You helped Me learn so much about myself and you were my rock at many times when I was down. Even though I have my parents who I love very much, you were always an outlet for me where I knew I could tell you anything. I only wish I could have got to meet you, but I don’t want that to haunt me. I still haven’t really come to terms that you are gone yet. While I’m not a religious person I want you to live through me, my life from this point on will be a homage to you. I know you had high hopes for me, you put me In the best situation possible by finding my parents and I want to do you proud. I really hope you knew how much you meant to me. I hope wherever you are that you know that I’m going to do you proud. I love you so much. RIP. You will always be alive in my memory for as long as I live.

    I was so shocked when his mother called me. He was always so full of life and such a sweet and funny little boy when he was growing up. Please tell Ben Jr. that he can call on me for anything at any time.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
