Michael Weed Obituary

Michael Weed joined our Heavenly Father after passing away at home March 26. He was born on September 13, 1964 at the Tachikawa Air Base in Tokyo, Japan to Martha Ann Weed (Castles) and Cecil Harold Weed. Though Michael traveled and lived in multiple places, he considered Winnsboro, SC his hometown. Michael graduated from Air Academy High school. He attended several different colleges as a part-time student while working. Michael worked in insurance for 17 years. He started in the mailroom and worked his way up to management and underwriting positions. Michael's passion of music could be seen in his drumming. He performed locally as a member of several different bands including Inertia, the Ineffable, and the Bad Land Blues Band. Michael was preceded in death by his mother, Martha Weed. He is survived by his daughter Kendra Weed of Colorado Springs, CO; his father Cecil Weed of Chapin, SC; his ex-wife Laura Weed of Colorado Springs, CO; numerous cousins, aunts, and uncles; and his loving canine companions Max and Sam. Friends are invited to attend a memorial service and reception being held on Saturday, April 6th at 1pm at Evergreen Funeral Home - 1830 East Fountain Blvd, Colorado Springs. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to CURE Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy at 223 W Erie Street, Suite 2SW, Chicago, IL 60654 or online.

I worked with Mike at USAA for 15 years, he was always jovial and full of life. I can still hear his deep voice and distinct funny laugh - it makes me smile and warms my heart. I now live in the DC area, but was able to attend his service - which was as beautiful as he was. All who attended loved him dearly. My condolences to his family and friends, especially to Kendra, whom he adored completely.

I will miss you, but will always have fond memories of you. Heaven has a fabulous new drummer!

Wow, what a tragic loss of a wonderful being!
Mike and I were very close in our teens and twenties. We shared many common interests, including music, gaming, rock climbing, science fiction, art, etc.
Mike was a master strategist, and just about unbeatable at the many games he turned me on to, including Cribbage, Dungeons and Dragons, Nightime glow-in-the-dark suicide frisbee, etc...His love of gaming was infectious, and he even designed and created his own games! This rubbed off on me, and to this day I still create hand-made gameboards in my spare time.
I shared my interest in art with Mike, even loaning-out my paint set and all of my brushes for his experimentation (see photo).
Back when we could still get away with it, we would freestyle climb in The Garden Of The Gods, with Mike's long limbs giving him a huge advantage. We watched fireworks all around us from the top of Grayrock one July 4th with other friends, and somehow climbed down in the dark, a true miracle!
Mike's love of music was incredible! We made weekly trips to "Recycle Records" in downtown C.S., and Mike's vinyl collection quickly grew to over 500 albums! He loved to play D.J. in his music room when he wasn't pounding the drum set. His parents Martha and Cecil must be saints to put up with all of that noise, but I and our friends loved every minute of it!
I was honored to be a groomsman at Mike's wedding. It was Mike's father who convinced us jokers to fill the honeymoonmobile with weeds! (Sorry for calling you out Mr. Weed! Love You :)
Mike, you will truly be missed! I will see you in heaven...save me a seat at the gaming table my brother!

I worked with Mike and I was a student in one of his insurance classes, he was a passionate and energetic teacher. I passed because Mike was a great instructor! Deepest sympathy and prayers to his family.

I am just devastated to learn of Mike's passing. I worked for him for several years and not only was he my friend, but he was a mentor and a person I greatly respected. I just moved to Arizona or I would be there to pay my respects. God Bless you Mike.
