Gordon H. Weber, age 89, of Atwater, was welcomed into the arms of the Lord at 7:40 p.m., Thursday, July 7, 2016, at Alliance Community Hospital.
He was born August 3, 1926, in Hinckley Minnesota, to Ed and Lottie (Salvason) Weber.
A 1944 graduate of Atwater High School, Gordon went on to earn his bachelor's degree from University of Akron, where he was a member of the Lone Star fraternity, and his master's degree from Kent State University. He spent many years as a teacher, guidance counselor and coach at Ravenna High School.
Gordon served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during WWII and was co-founder of the Atwater Historical Society. He was a member of the Atwater United Methodist Church where he taught Sunday school and sang in the choir for 60 years. Gordon served as past president of the Portage County Farm Bureau and wrote the zoning rules and bylaws for Atwater Township. He was politically active in the farm bureau supporting various agricultural initiatives.
During his battle with Alzheimer's, Gordon was able to remain on his farm which he loved. This would not have been possible without the care of his wife, Phyllis and the love and support of his Atwater United Methodist Church family. Every day of his life, Gordon has always demonstrated his Christian faith through his patience, compassion and concern for others. His family will always be grateful for his influence of integrity and grace.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Phyllis (Oakes) Weber; children, Jeni (Ken) Huth of Suffield, Peggy (Bob) Snyder of Boardman, Teri Zachariah of Zanesville and Stephen (Erin) Weber of Lakewood; grandchildren, Marcus (Rachel) Huth, David Huth, Garrett Huth, Tracy (Nick) Latta, Diane Snyder, Jason (Wendy) Zachariah, Alex Weber and Kegan Weber; and six great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, July 16, 2016, at Atwater United Methodist Church with Rev. Larry Black and Rev. Ruth Roth co-officiating. Interment will be at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Atwater United Methodist Church, 6380 Waterloo Rd, Atwater, OH 44201.
Arrangements are by Cassaday-Turkle-Christian Funeral Home 75 S. Union Ave., Alliance, Oh 44601.
