He was born May 13, 1942 in Newport News, VA, to Percy Weaver and Pecolia Chavis and raised by his beloved aunt Dessie Rooks following the early death of his mother.

Afterwards, he attended American University earning a Master's Degree in Education, and a Ph.D. in Higher Education from Walden University.

He retired from PGCC in 2010 as a tenured faculty member and recipient of the college's Presidential Award.

He served on the Church Council and numerous committees over the years, developing deep friendships with many congregation members. Most recently, he and his wife were part of the Wednesday ASLC Bowie Food Pantry team.
