Dr. Kevin J. Weber Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Peacefully and surrounded by his loving family, Dr. Kevin John Weber passed away in the evening of Thursday, February 17th 2022. Kevin was born in Valdosta, GA to Robert and Elizabeth Weber. He attended college at Regis University in Denver, CO. He went on to the Medical College of Wisconsin where he graduated with a Doctorate of Medicine. He completed his residency in 1985 at Southern Colorado Family Medicine. His first career position was at the Menominee Tribal Clinic in Wisconsin. He joined the Shawano Clinic and worked in family medicine until 1991. Moving his family back to Pueblo Colorado, he started working as Department Director for Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center. In 1993, he began his career in the Emergency Room at St. Mary Corwin. He had a tenure of 29 years before his final emergency room position at Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center. He retired from the emergency room in October of 2021. Kevin’s professional career was not solely tied to the emergency room. Kevin was very involved with the Southern Colorado EMS. As Medical Director for Southeastern Colorado, he was instrumental in creating and upholding medical standards for our state. He brought EMS to rural communities and loved teaching other EMS personnel. In his final days, he was presented with a Lifetime Achievement award from St. Mary Corwin. In his passing, he has received numerous accolades from his colleagues. It would be unlike him to list them all, but they were earned out of a genuine love for others. Kevin was also a dedicated family man. His parents, Nana and Pops, worked hard to instill Christian values in their children. He emulated their commitment to family and was an excellent husband, father, brother, and cousin. He and Dee enjoyed 38 years of marriage and together raised 4 boys; Reid, Chad, Nick, and Ty. He was known as “Papi” to his 3 grandchildren; Aaralyn, Tre, and Ella. He has 2 daughters-in-law Jenny (Reid) and Shanae (Ty) and he would always tell them both they were his favorite. The family also adopted Marcel (Celi) Thielman as brother and son after he spent a year as their foreign exchange student. He was known for being such a fun uncle, always willing to swim, ski, or ride bikes. His nickname for many of his nieces and nephews was “Uncle Roughy” because he just loved playing with the little kids. His siblings are full of hilarious stories of “Kevy” during their youth. Many of his church friends lovingly refer to him as “Doc”. Kevin was a man of deep faith. One night, Dee asked him “Why are you joyful?” and he responded; “I am joyful for God’s love and the gift of salvation, for a loving family and the wisdom to see God’s hand in everything.” His friend and former pastor, Gregg Slaughter, likened his demeanor to Matthew 5:16. He let his light shine to all those he interacted with, they saw his good deeds, and he would hope that they glorify his Father in heaven. He started each day in prayer, always lifting up his friends, family, and community. His mother’s favorite verse, 2 Timothy 4:7, also describes his life. He fought the good fight, he finished the race and he kept his faith through it all.
