| November 12, 2023 12:00 AM

On the morning of Nov. 2, 2023, William B. "Willie" Weber, 41, passed into glory surrounded by family after a long battle with glioblastoma brain cancer. 

Willie was born to Bill and Chris Weber on Jan. 8, 1982 in Kirkland, Washington. He grew up in the Pacific Northwest, a place he loved, surrounded by his loving siblings, Hannah Weber, Andy Weber, Amy Platt, and Becca Galvin. 

He had a passion for missions. After graduating in 2000 from Woodinville High School, he spent many years working with Youth With A Mission. He was based out of Maui, Hawaii with YWAM. He traveled the world and shared the love and hope of Jesus with those he met. Over those years, he developed a deep love for Hawaii and the Hawaiian people.

On Sept. 15, 2007 he married the love of his life, Bethany Eisenlohr. They have four children, Everett Weber (13), Coren Weber (11), Bannon Weber (9), and Brielle Weber (7). He always said his greatest dream was fulfilled when he became a husband and a dad. He adored and spoiled his family and was a loving husband and father.

He had a career in logistics for many years where he moved up the ladder into middle management. He then switched careers in 2018 and received an AA in Web Applications Programming. He built websites for a brief time before he was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer. He also was a door dasher after relocating to Kalispell, where he made many friends and connections in the community. 

He was an avid Seattle sports fan. His favorite pastime was watching the University of Washington Huskies football team with his dad and brother. He was a talented singer/ songwriter who played the guitar and bass as well as led worship at his local church throughout his life. He was extraordinary in stature at 6 foot 7 inches and larger than life in personality to match. He was full of joy no matter what he was enduring and his quick wit and jokes will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was a loyal friend. 

He is preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Wilson and Mary Harrison; and paternal grandparents, John and Agnes Weber.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18, in the Lower Auditorium of Canvas Church, 255 Summit Ridge Drive, Kalispell, Montana 59901.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to the National Brain Tumor Society.
