Michael Lawrence Weldon
Michael L. Weldon age 60, passed away on 08 August 2020. It was a very unexpected
time for him to leave us and we miss him greatly. Thankfully, we have many, many
happy memories to cherish.
Mike was born in Lewiston, Maine to John and Barbara Weldon now in Jacksonville, FL.
He has a younger brother, Steve, and sister, Sandy Radomski. He was raised in Lisbon
Falls, Maine. Mike was the fun loving, neighborhood kid that everyone sought to play
with. He was also an avid athlete and outdoorsman. He shared his love of sports with
his children and many others through his many years of coaching softball and baseball
with Creeks Athletic Association.
Mike met Elaine Faherty during middle school in Maine and they married in April 1983.
Over the years Mike and Elaine have been the mainstay for extended family gatherings;
sharing their love with their children Audrey Weldon and her son Colton, Ben Weldon
and virtual daughter' Caitlin Laffan. He loved them each fiercely and is immensely
proud of them.
Mike was a bit of a renaissance man in that he wore many hats and, had many talents.
He was an entrepreneur and a self-professed jack of all trades master of none. Well,
maybe one, but possibly none. He was Mr. Mom, a loving husband to his "Lainey", a
beloved Papa to grandson Colton, and future father in law to Clint Dona. He is a much-
loved uncle, nephew, brother and son. Mike loved to cook, and did not like to brag, but
happy to tell you how good the food was. He had a passion for the Red Sox, the Pats
(long before and after Brady), John Wayne, the mountains, fishing, hunting,
boating but, it was family he loved most of all. The 44 brothers and sisters in law,
nieces and nephews are too many to list, but you know who you are and that you were
well loved. While Mike would agree with all these things, he'd think it was too much and
say: "Hurry it up! We're burning daylight!" Sound familiar?
We will celebrate Mike's life in a private service at Chets Creek Church, Jacksonville, Fl.
We ask in lieu of flowers donations be made in Mike's honor to either of these or the
