David "Daddy" Oscar Weathers, Sr. was born in Pasadena, Texas and lived here all his life.

He was the son of Lennie Matteson Weathers, who's brother Johnny Ramond Bruner Weathers had already finished school long before him and moved out of the home in search of his own goals. David's dad Oscar, married Lennie after she left her first husband James Bruner, and being the new father in the family, Johnny naturally did not feel the familiarity to someone else other than to his favor father. The relationship they had was not close at first as Oscar was a quiet man with jet-black hair, and he seemed to keep something to himself. Later, they became closer in a mutual sense, and Oscar had a heavy mix of native American with white and run a gas station with his son, David helping pump gas.

David grew up with epilepsy since he was young and had to leaarn how to walk over again, in school he was bullied for it, and having a half-brother who was much older, he often had only his mother at home. He said he survived so far because his dream of two Apostles were standing on the river bank watching him as he rode it. He was a big guy, and later at eighteen, started on his lifelong pill for bloodpressure. It affirmed his religous faith in the Church of Christ. Oscar died in '65 at the age of 68.

David attended the University of Houston and got a degree in chemical engineering, but in the end by the advice of him mother, he got a job in the US Postal Service in '72. He married Judy Norris and they were married for four years before Judy tragically died of an odd heart abnormality. Later on David makes a personal post in a small newpaper wich was then responded to right away, so he took the first chance and met his future wife from Uvalde named Thelma and married her a year later. In 82, his mother died.

He introduced his wife to her new home with him where they had to wait four years before having their first child, a son in '84, and then another in '86. David was a humble father and he took to heart the commitment to provide for his family from the Bible. Often it was the four at home with no social life, David had to work long hours, and his wife gave up her teaching career. He was the kind of man who wore big shoes, stood on his feet sorting mail. He worked patiently with customers all day to bring home food, and.came in the door to leave his pants as he was the kind of dad who at home often were dressed in his shorts. He knew how to read the Bible at home with the family and looked to eating pizza on the weekends. He moved animals and the loss of every one of them left a missing piece. But there was one cat who he loved dearly and the lose of him he always remembered the most.

Later on in '05, he finally retired from the Postal Service after 33 long years doing work that more than one could handle. He brought home many rubber thumbs and hands stained with ink. He eventually began to have more trouble walking than before so he took his time, his circulation to his fingers were cut from the heavy weight of all the sacks he'd carry to save a trip. He loved his family very much and may have been patient with people, but he was always holding some out for himself for when he'd make a special friend.
