Weldon Wade Montgomery

October 19, 1944 - April 7, 2013

Weldon Wade Montgomery, at age 68, went home to be with the Lord, our Father in Heaven on April 7th, 2013. Weldon was born in Columbus, Ohio on October 19, 1944. He was the son of the late Weldon John and Stella Montgomery. Brother to Stella Sharon Solner, Paul Dennis Montgomery, Robert Emil Montgomery, and the late Arthur Phillip Montgomery. He was a husband to Esther Moreira for 10 years, becoming a step-father to Albert, Victoria, and Melissa Ruiz. He had four children with Esther: Weldon Daniel Montgomery, Christopher Montgomery, Andrea Montgomery, and Steven Montgomery. He grandfathered Andrew Mahoney, Luz Sophia Montgomery and Ethan Christopher Montgomery. After growing up in Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania, his sister Sharon moved to Florida and Weldon and the rest of his family followed her. Weldon decided to join the United States Navy in March of 1964. He cherished his time in the service and was Honorably Discharged, but he never stopped being a proud Navy man. In 1979, Weldon met Esther and began his family. Weldon touched each and every person that he came in contact with, whether it was at McDonald's or at church! He had a life-long passion for hot rods, motorcycles, and racing. Weldon was always smiling, had endless positivity, and no one could take the joy out of his heart. Weldon did not not have an easy life, but you would never know it by the positive force he was. His faith in Jesus and his unshakable dedication to a life with Christ defined his life. He would not want us to mourn the loss of his body, but rather rejoice the fact that his spirit is home, joyfully looking down on us from above and guarding all whom he loved. GODSPEED.
