Stanley Joe Weston passed away on November 4th, 2017 at the age of 82.
Stanley was born in Merkel, Texas on March 21st, 1935 to Joe and Lena Demere Weston.
Stanley started his adult life working on ranches in West Texas, Central Texas and then turned a hobby into a business with Weston Welding. Many ranches in Texas (and one in Kentucky) have Weston built cattle and horse pens and countless Horseshoe Bay homes have fences and entry ways by Weston Welding. The times that Norman Hurd drove up and said "welder can we build this drawing" (on the back of envelope) were numerous and lead to a longtime friendship and mutual admiration. Mr. Hurd referred to Stanley as his artist and welder. Stanley soon learned, just tack it, Mr. Hurd is gonna change it before it was done. Stanley was also very talented in all phases of leather work and stamping. Stanley was a man of few words but meant them. The times that he worked into the night to repair a piece of construction equipment so that the owner could be back on the job the next morning were legendary. He had a strong bond to people that worked as hard as he did.
Stanley is survived by his wife of 61 years Iva, daughter Robben and her husband Johnnie of Meadowlakes, daughter Randy and her husband Kirby of Sylvester, and chosen son Shawn McDuffie and his wife Cheryl of Magnolia. Grandson Layne Weston Thompson and friend Karyn Myers, grandson Ethan Jacob Head and friend Sarah Lampkin, and granddaughter Amanda McDuffie. He is also survived by his sister Mary Tom Snoddy of Midland, his brother Bill Weston of Kingsbury and many cherished cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and his youngest brother Tad Weston.

My condolences to the Weston family. I met Stanley back in the late 60's while working the ranches around West Texas. I learned a great deal from him in ranching. I am sorry for your loss I am sure he will be missed by everyone that knew him.
