Michael John Weeber was born in Dubuque, Iowa, on September 27th, 1953 to Donita and Fred Weeber. He attended Nativity grade school, Senior High School and Loras College, where he received his BA in Education. He went on to become a well-known, successful salesman at Banworth and Udelhoven and The Floor Show Outlet. He was well known for his athletic abilities, achieving many awards and recognitions. Mike played on the Dubuque Packers, was drafted by the Houston Astros, and was inducted into the Dubuque Senior Hall of Fame, Loras College Hall of Fame, and Dubuque Softball Hall of Fame.

Mike met the love of his life, Jackie Hart, at Loras College. They were married on November 19th, 1977, at St. Anthony’s Church.

He is survived by his wife, Jackie;  five children: Katherine Kruse (Tyler Frost), Molly, Jodi, Jake (Stacey), and Josh (Audrey); seven grandchildren: Nathaniel Kruse, Anna Kruse, Madalynn Kruse, Lexie Kruse, Ava Weeber, Brooks Weeber, and Harper Weeber; his sister Pamela Trimble along with  many nieces and nephews; and his loyal furry companions Buddy and Manny.

Mike was preceded in death by his grandmother Martha Koster, grandfather Harold Koster,  grandmother Ethal Weeber, mother Donita Jaeger, father Frederick Weeber, and his sidekick dog, Maggie.

Mike was well-loved by all and never met a stranger he didn’t like. He was always the life of the party with his warm, loving demeanor and quick wit. He will be greatly missed by all and cherished forever.
