Doug and I went to school together for almost all of our school days. He could always make me laugh and his friendship was a treasure to me. I’m so saddened by his passing. He will be missed. Prayers for all of his family and for his many friends. Safe home my friend. Beverly (He always called me by my first name.)

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. Always enjoyed competing with or against Doug on the Tennis or Pickleball court. Doug was a kind, thoughtful person. He will be greatly missed. ❤️❤️
A friend since high school, Doug Weavil always made me smile. I enjoyed visiting with him at our 55th reunion this past September 11th. As always, he was then so happy, so pleasant, so polite. I had no idea it would be our last meeting. He may been been short in height, but few are taller in stature. I miss you my friend.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I thought alot of him since our Hi-Y days in high school. Working here in Morganton , I only saw him occasionally. Helped me alot in Hi- Y and actually put me in as Chaplain.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of "Dougie," as I used to call him at pickleball. He was always kind and always looked forward to the next time he would see his kids and grandkids. He will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Junia Hastings

So sorry for your loss in Morganton. I will miss him, but I will never forget him tickling my toes when we were growing up. I just don't know what to say. Love you all, Duane.
