Dear Sister Weir and Family,

It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest condolences on the passing of Pastor Weir. He was more than a spiritual leader to me, he was like a father. I will always remember the three semesters I spent living in your home, a time made possible by your kindness and Pastor Weir’s gracious welcome. Those days left a lasting impression on my life.

I will never forget how he stood by me and my family at the passing of my grandmother. He served as the speaker at the funeral at Constant Spring Church in 1999. His words brought comfort then, and they still resonate with me today. Pastor Weir’s ministry was not only from the pulpit but also through the quiet acts of compassion that touched so many lives.

Please know that I am praying for God’s peace to surround you, His strength to sustain you, and His hope to assure you until that glorious day when we will meet again.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Rosemarie Brooks

A few things I would like to note about my Grandpa:

#1. He believed strongly in God and Jesus and that faith echoed throughout every part of his life.

#2. He lived an active and healthy life, where he walked miles daily and gardened until he no longer could, ate wholesome food, connected with a strong community, and lived over 90 years.

#3. He'd often say things like "Excelsior!" or "mediocrity is the curse of humanity." He taught me that excellence isn't an aspiration; it's expected. 

#4. He was humble despite his many accomplishments. You'd never hear about his achievements through him, nor could you drag it out of him. You'd usually learn about his accomplishments through others.

#5. He raised my brother and me for part of our childhood in Jamaica. My respectful nature and manners, often complimented by others, come from him. 

#6. He was a friendly man, respected and admired by his community, and being his grandchild in Jamaica meant being held to high standards.

#7. He is one of the tiny set of people in this world in whom I could not locate a single flaw in character or integrity.

My Grandpa is, and always will be, my role model. 

Sincere condolences to the entire Weir and Cox family.  Please rest assured that  God will grant you His peace, comfort and strength during this very difficult time. 

Pastor Weir was a true and faithful servant of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. He was enlisted in God's army at a time when things were much more challenging than they are today.  As he laboured  for Christ during those early days, he even rode on horseback to get to  some of the churches in Portland, Jamaica. 

He was a man of The Word ; he knew and understood God's message very well. His sermons were deep and profound and caused us to utilize our analytical skills. His comments in Bible class and Sabbath School  caused us to open up our minds to new perspectives on familiar topics. 

Pastor Weir was a true and humble friend. He was serious about God's work yet still he found time out to respond to the needs of others. 

His sleep will not be long. Jesus will soon return. Let's all remain faithful until then.

....

To us, in Moshupa, he was such a humble loving man who loved people and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Even in our small village here in Botswana, when he visited with his family, we were touched by his deep love for his Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ. One Sabbath Morning, our village church experienced and was held captive by his deep Biblical scholarship. He portrayed humble poise as he expounded the scriptures to us during his visit with his family. In this sadness and loss, we are refreshed by this memory and his love for our Saviour. My family dearly loved him and his family and he will always be remembered with such endearment. We pray for mom and children and, all the Weir family and their friends to be comforted in the loss of a beloved husband, father and grandfather, brother and friend.

We stay comforted that we will meet again in that golden Morning.

I extend our deepest condolences on the passing of Pastor Weir.  We are truly saddened by the loss of such a devoted servant of God.

Pastor Weir's unwavering commitment, tireless dedication, and heartfelt service to the Seventh-day Adventist Church have left a lasting legacy.  His leadership, humility, and faithful ministry touched countless lives and strengthened the spiritual foundation of our congregation.

We give thanks to God for the time we shared with him and the example he set as a true shepherd of the flock.  May the comforting presence of the Lord surround you during this time of grief, and may you find peace in the knowledge that he now rests in the blessed hope of the resurrection. 

 With prayerful sympathy, 

Pepeta, Andre and Philip Heslop

My sincerest condolences to the Weir family on the passing of such an outstanding family member and servant of God. He will be tremendously missed and remembered. May his legacy continues through his family and the many lives he impacted for the kingdom. May he rest in hope.

It is with a sense of deep loss an an aching void that I write this tribute on the passing of my beloved  pastor, spiritual advisor, big brother, friend and confidant. 

Pastor Weir was an intellectual and deeply philosophical man of God. Though soft spoken, his sermons and presentations echoed voluminously across the many platforms on which he stood. His breath of thoughts left his hearers in deep contemplation and a sense of belief in what he taught.

Pastor Weir was a preacher/teacher who went deep below the surface, thoroughly revealing the gold mine God has for man,  embedded beneath the sand. By example, he taught that life is a continuously learning experience that challenges even the greatest spiritual teachers. This was evident in his ferocious reading and a willingness to share his knowledge with anyone who was willing to have a discussion on a specific topic. He believed that the essence of human progress, within or outside the church, lies in the relentless  pursuit of knowledge.

His calm and gentle attitude in addressing  he most challenging problems, left one mystified in the way he sought to alleviate the situation. His kindness was  admirable, it knew no bounds, he was simply a humanitarian.

He did not consider himself so heavenly that he had no earthly use, in light moments of playing board games such as Scrabble or Chinese Checkers, the new comer to the game had to learn patience and tact as pastor took  his own time in making his move,

As I bid farewell to Pastor Weir, I will always cherish the love, the laughter and the fond memories  he brought to my life, the challenges he helped me overcome, and the advices that he gave have helped to guide me through life. Though he is no longer with us physically, his spirit will forever echo in my heart, reminding me to cherish each moment of our friendship and to hold dearly the spiritual legacy he has left me.

My sincere condolences to B, Mercy, Marilyn and Marchelle.  Pr. Weir has run the race, he has finished the course and has died with the hope of seeing his Lord face to face. The patriarch is resting. Let us endeavor to meet him in the Resurrection.

Let me express my condolences to pastor Weir's family and friends. Pastor Weir was one of those who inspired me through his preaching. He knew the word and lived the word. I can still recall his evangelistic series and their impact on me personally. 

We will seem him again in the resurrection morn. 

My sincere condolences to the family of Pastor Weir on his passing. I join in giving thanks for his years of joyful, faithful and dedicated service to the Church.

Pastor Weir was a warm, gracious, humble, discerning and  well mannered  gentleman. His thoughtful and deep sermons were life changing and caused us to replay and ponder the instructions given carefully.

I pray that the Lord will comfort and strengthen Pastor’s wife, daughters, sons in law and other family during this time of loss. Marilyn and Wyatt; Karlene and Marcilyn  (nieces) you are in my prayers.

To me - he was a great man, Pastor Weir, my Uncle, Uncle Glady, the man who called everyone Friend. 

"Hello Friend"  he would call as he reached out to bring you close in a hug or to shake your hand in fellowship. 

♥️Miss you friend, I know its only for a short time. Looking forward to seeing you again

I am really saddened to hear about the passing of Pastor M. E. Weir. Honestly, it feels like I have known him all my life.

I attended school with his children.  Marilyn and I were classmates, and Sister Beatrice Weir was one of my teachers. And of course, Pastor Weir was my Conference President. No matter what role he took on after that, I always saw him as the President of East Jamaica Conference. That is the lasting impression he made.

He was a true scholar, a man of intellect and insight, yet he preached with such clarity and simplicity that anyone could understand the message. There was always depth in what he shared, but never confusion. That balance is rare, and it was one of the many things that made his ministry so impactful.

I will never forget the crusade at Guava Gap where he preached. I was there every night. That series was powerful and led to the planting of the Guava Gap church, which I later had the privilege of Ministering at. That church stands today as a citadel of hope because of the ministry of Pastor Weir.

To Sister Weir, Mercedes, Marilyn, and Marchelle, my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry for your loss. I pray God gives you the strength you need as you walk through this time, and I know you are holding on to that hope we all share, the return of Jesus, our soon-coming King.

Uncle Glady was one of my heroes. My treasured memories began when, as a little boy running barefooted on a stony road, my big toe lost a confrontation with a rock. Uncle Glady knelt at my feet and with great compassion, he dressed my toe. Instantly, he became my hero.

He supported me in college; he was the officiating minister at my wedding and was a friend to my family. I looked forward to deep discussions with him on matters of science and religious philosophy and was surprised by the congruence of our ideas even in areas of radical thought.

However, my enduring memory of him is his deep conviction in the assurance of salvation made possible through the death of Jesus Christ for all humanity and the promise of eternal life in the kingdom of God.

Sleep on Uncle Glady..... until then.

Condolences to Sis Marilyn and family. It is reassuring to know that Pastor Weir sleeps until that day. Glorious day that will be.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your beloved father, Pastor Weir. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Pastor Weir was a man of great faith and integrity, and his legacy will continue to live on in the many lives he touched through his ministry. I pray that the Lord will comfort you and your family during this time of grief, and that you will find peace in the memories you shared and the hope we have in Christ.

May God’s love surround you and give you strength.

My sincerest condolences to the Weir's Family. 

Your life was a blessing 

Your memory a treasure

You are loved beyond words

And missed beyond measure 

See you soon in the New Jerusalem...
