David S. Weed, 75, of Nashville, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2024.
Born in Forrest City, Arkansas, on April 14, 1949, to Wendell and Dorothy Bridgforth Weed, David was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
David was a proud graduate of Hillsboro High School in Nashville and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tennessee, followed by a Juris Doctorate from the University of Tennessee College of Law. He worked for many years as an attorney in private practice.
David was married for 52 years to his devoted wife, Leslie Weed, with whom he shared a life filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories. Together, they raised four children: David Jr., Libby, Lindsay, and Jack Weed. David was a doting grandfather to eight grandchildren: Natalie Young, Patrick Weed, Anna Clare Weed, Henry Weed, Logan BeCraft, Bailey Kate BeCraft, Jace Flaherty, and Rylee Flaherty.
David’s passion for family was matched by his love of the outdoors and sports, particularly University of Tennessee football. Many weekends were spent on the lake with his loved ones or at home, where he hosted big tailgate parties for UT home games, bringing together friends and family in celebration of his team’s victories.
He is survived by his wife, Leslie Weed; children, David Weed Jr. (Erin), Libby BeCraft (Allen), and Jack Weed; son-in-law, Rusty Flaherty; grandchildren, Natalie Young, Patrick Weed, Anna Clare Weed, Henry Weed, Logan BeCraft, Bailey Kate BeCraft, Jace Flaherty, and Rylee Flaherty; and his brother, Wendell Weed Jr. (Carol).
David was preceded in death by his daughter, Lindsay Weed Flaherty; his sister, Elaine Cooper; and his parents, Wendell and Dorothy Weed.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff at Trevecca Center for Rehabilitation and Healing and Gentiva Hospice for their compassionate care during David’s final days. Your kindness and attention were greatly appreciated.
