Weaver Douglas Crouch, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on June 27, 2023, in Maquoketa, IA, at the age of 80. Born on May 18, 1943, in Verona, Missouri, Weaver was a man of kindness and friendliness that touched the lives of many.

Weaver spent his early years in Missouri, where he attended local schools before moving to Iowa. He continued his education in Maquoketa, where his strong work ethic and dedication to learning were evident from a young age. Weaver’s commitment to service led him to the U.S. Army, where he served his country for 2 years.

On October 29, 1965, Weaver married the love of his life, Hazel Mae Wallroff, in Delmar, Iowa. Their union was blessed with three beautiful daughters, Theresea, Angela, and Tina. Hazel sadly preceded him in death in 2006, but their love story remains a cherished memory for their family.

After receiving an honorable discharge from the Army, Weaver moved to Iowa. He initially worked as a farmhand before joining Stickley Electric. In 1972, he embarked on a fulfilling 31-year career with John Deere, Dubuque Works, where he served as an electrician until his retirement in 2003. Weaver was an entrepreneur & that led him to establish Crouch Electric in Maquoketa, which he owned and operated for many years.

Weaver was a man of many interests, and he had a deep love for the outdoors. He was an avid hunter, whether with a pistol, shotgun, muzzle loader, or bow. He also enjoyed fishing and morel hunting, activities that allowed him to fully appreciate the beauty of nature. A dedicated fan of Hawkeyes sports, Weaver could often be found cheering on his favorite Iowa teams. He loved socializing with neighbors, friends, and family, and his garage was his sanctuary, a place where he could work, think, and share a good story with anyone.

Weaver is survived by his daughters, Theresea Hamilton of Clinton, IA, Angela Dugan (Ward) of Trenton, MO, and Tina Gallagher (Maury) of Amana, IA; five grandchildren (Tristan, Cade, Hunter, Carsyn and Madison); and sisters, Charlene Regenwether of Centerville, IA, and Arlene Witzak of Nanticoke, PA. He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Hazel, and brothers Jack, Ennis, and Tom.

A celebration of his life will be held at 1:30 P.M., Friday, July 7, 2023, at Carson Celebration of Life Center in Maquoketa.  A memorial visitation will be held prior to the service from 11 A.M. to 1:15 P.M. on Friday at the funeral home.  Burial with military honors will be at the Ozark Cemetery, rural Monmouth, Iowa.
