James Edward Weston Sr.

In Loving Memory of
James Edward Weston Sr.

James Edward Weston Sr. was born in Lake Harbor, Florida to the late Caretha Wyche, delivered
by a beloved community midwife on October 10, 1946. He was educated by the Florida Public
School System. Caretha later united in holy matrimony with the late Eugene Callahan Sr., and
together they made their home in Lake Placid, where they lovingly raised a family of ten
children.
As a young man, James dedicated more than 40 years to working in the citrus industry, where
he was known for his strong work ethic and commitment. He spent many years picking fruit and
operating the lightning loader, taking great pride in providing for his family through honest hard
work.
James was known for his kind heart, infectious smile, and the happiness he brought wherever
he went. He enjoyed the simple things in life, especially fishing, spending quality time with
family and friends, and sitting on the porch telling stories filled with laughter. Anyone who
stopped by could count on sharing a good laugh and leaving in better spirits. James also had a
collection of funny and one-of-a-kind dance moves that kept family gatherings lively and
entertained everyone around him.

On the early morning of Monday, May 11, 2026, at AdventHealth Lake Placid, James Edward
Weston Sr. peacefully accepted his Master’s calling into eternal rest.
He leaves to cherish his loving memories his devoted lifetime partner, Dorthy Jean Goldsmith.
