Cyrus Alexander Weaver, fondly known by many as “Coach Weaver“, and by us as Cy, Dad, and Granddad, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 28, 2024.

Cy was adopted by Miss Lucy Duke of Bumpass, Virginia, as an infant, and raised on her scenic farm, which has become a favorite gathering place for many friends and family from Charlottesville, Louisa, and beyond. We affectionately refer to it as “the fahm“, as that’s how it sounded when he said it.

Cy graduated from Milligan College, in East Tennessee, in 1968; that same summer, Cy was married and began his coaching career! Both of which proved extremely successful. They started in Louisa County, Virginia, and then moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, where he began a long and tireless journey in education, athletics, and spiritual leadership. He served as an elder at first Christian church in downtown Charlottesville until, after 35 years of teaching in the Charlottesville City school system, he retired, though continuing to coach and officiate for another 2 decades! After retiring from teaching, thus freeing his days for farming and such, he began the full-time job that was the restoration of the beloved farmhouse. Those closest to him have had the tour (perhaps more than once!) and know that the farmhouse was “ pre-revolutionary war”and incredibly beautiful. He was always excited to share his home and his farm with everyone!

In April 2024, Cy was inducted into the Virginia High School League Hall of Fame, honoring his aforementioned tireless service, as a coach, mentor, and official, over the span of six decades!

He was preceded in death by his mother, Lucy Duke, and his sister, Shirley Keffer, of Bumpass, Virginia, and by his beloved son, Cy Weaver, Jr., affectionately known as Cap, of Charlottesville.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Jackie Weaver; son Frank (Tracy) Weaver and daughter Karen (Tim) Honeycutt; daughter in law, Christina Weaver; and grandchildren Alex (Sydney) Weaver, Camden Weaver, Carter Weaver, Reagan Weaver, Kaitlynn Weaver, Maxwell Weaver, Piper Honeycutt, and Madelaine Honeycutt, all of Charlottesville.

He will be hugely missed every day.
