Toby Weaver Passed Away on the Evening of August 13

Toby Weaver was on staff with WCBC during the last couple of years I was attending Lancaster Baptist. Not personally acquainted, no interactions with him but I am sure he and his wife were decent folk. RIP to Toby Weaver and prayers for his wife and family during this time.
 
From Liberty U friends facebook post...

I remember Dr. Falwell telling the story of Dr. Toby Weaver getting saved and growing up at Thomas Road Baptist Church and Lynchburg, Virginia. Dr. Weaver just recently went home to be with the Lord Jesus and served the Lord faithfully for many years. Our prayers and condolences go out to his family. The ministry, life, and influence of the late Dr. Jerry Falwell still continues.
 
While I did not know him so well back in the late 70s and early 80s, I liked him a lot. I thought he was much more authentic than most there.

I actually exchanged a few text messages with him last month on his 79th birthday. He was always kind and encouraging.

I tuned into the livestream of his funeral service yesterday. His family and friends spoke much of the various stops in ministry he had made over the past 55 years. Frankly, I thought everyone who spoke did an awkward dance around the HAC years. Many influencers that he had over the years were mentioned, Jerry Falwell being most prominent. The name "Hyles" was not mentioned. It made me wonder.

He did tell me personally some time back how that Jack Hyles paid the down payment on their home in Hammond and how he never told anyone. Toby said, "he did that for a lot of people."
 
I remember him from my first semester at HAC in 1990. I think he left after that.
