Dale E. Weaver

Dale Eugene Weaver, 58, of Corning, Ohio, passed away on May 27, 2026. Born on October 23, 1967, at Berger Hospital in Circleville, Ohio, Dale was the son of Bill (Linda) Weaver and Zelpha (Jim) Barnhart. Dale was a hardworking man who dedicated much of his life to his career as a semi-truck driver, mechanic, and crane mechanic. He was known for his strong work ethic, willingness to help others, and ability to fix just about anything. Above all else, Dale loved his family. He is survived by his son, Kyle (Ashley) Weaver; his sister, Brenda (George) Shoemaker; his brother’s, Doug (Krystina) Ricketts and Mark Barnhart and his cherished grandchildren, Hailee Shough, Payton Kelley, Sydney Kelley, Lucas Weaver and Hannah Weaver. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews, all of whom he loved dearly. Dale was preceded in death by his children, Mikie Weaver and Kandace Weaver; his parents, Bill (Linda) Weaver and Zelpha (Jim) Barnhart, and many other loved ones who welcomed him home. Dale shared a particularly special bond with Payton and Sydney. Following the loss of his daughter, Kandace, he stepped into a loving parental role and helped raise them as his own. The love he had for them was immeasurable, and they held a special place in his heart. Outside of work, Dale’s greatest passion was riding his Harley-Davidson. The open road brought him peace, freedom, and countless memories. He was a proud and active member of the Thug Riders Motorcycle Club, where he is known as “Toker” and gained not only lifelong friends but also a family of brothers and sisters who shared his love of riding, loyalty, and brotherhood. To us, Dale was so much more than the titles he carried. He was our protector, our teacher, our storyteller, our biggest supporter, and the person we could always count on. His laugh, his stubbornessm, his wisdom, and his larger-than-life personality filled every room he entered. The lessons he taught us, the memories he gave us, and the love he shared will remain with us forever. Although our hearts are shattered by his loss, we find comfort in knowing that he is reunited with those he loved and missed so dearly. We will carry his memory with us every day-in every Harley ride, every family gathering, every story told, and every moment that reminds us of the incredible man he was. Though he will be deeply missed, his memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Until we meet again, ride free.
