Dr. Irving Weston

Almost a year after his passing (November 2, 2024), several family members came together to bring Dr. Irving Weston back home to his Nebraska roots.

Although Irving never wished for a formal service, his family knew it was the perfect time to gather in his honor.

On October 22, in the cornfields along Sodtown Road in Gibbon, his ashes were scattered in the same fields where he grew up and worked as a teenager on the family homestead.

Those who gathered to honor his memory included his wife, Bobbi, and her daughter, Brittany; Irving’s daughter, Sandy, and grandson, Weston, and his wife, Cassandra; his sister, LaVonne; and his nieces, Denise and JoVonne.

As stories and memories were shared, the family knew this was a fitting goodbye for a man who lived such a long, fulfilled life.

Dr. Weston was born on February 13, 1931, in Gibbon to Lawrence P. and Bernice Burton Weston. He dedicated over 50 years to practicing general medicine in Lincoln, touching countless lives with his compassion and care.

His final resting place, beneath the wide Nebraska sky in the cornfield he once called home, could not have been more fitting.
