John Richard Weston

John Richard Weston, 87, of Danville, KY, passed away on October 13, 2026 at Danville Health and Rehabilitation Center. He was born on March 10, 1939 in Connersville, Indiana to Harley Leslie Weston and Mary Curry Weston.

John lived a life filled with kindness, generosity, and love. He was a proud veteran and beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. For many years he worked as a meat manager, first for Standard and Marsh Groceries and later for Rihm’s Foods. He took great pride in his work and loved his customers. Many of them became familiar faces he looked forward to seeing, and he never missed a chance to chat with them.

When he wasn’t at work, John could usually be found in his woodshop, building things by hand, or enjoying time outdoors. Most of all, he loved his family, dogs, and time spent with them meant more to him than anything else.

He is survived by his adored wife of 62 years, Karen E. Weston; his daughters, Theresa Weston of Connersville, Indiana, and Elizabeth “Libby” (Dale) Suttles of Lexington, Kentucky; grandson, Chase Weston, who was raised like a son; six grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. He is survived by a sister Ava Moore, and a brother, James Weston (Kayla), sister in law, Marsha Linville, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his beloved son, Christopher Weston, brother Paul Weston (Pat), sister Ann Hockersmith (Ron), sister in law, Peggy Reece and brothers in law, Larry Linville, Dale Moore, and nephews, Todd Linville, Wade Weston, Travis Weston.
