APRIL 2025 | 39 THE OKLAHOMA BAR JOURNAL MICHAEL D. WEAVER “His family came first, before his golf game, before his favorite football team.” Michael Don Weaver met his wife, Donna, while both were attending the University of Oklahoma. He proceeded to add the fun to her life for the next 21 years. For the last five years, he had served as general counsel for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Mr. Weaver, 45, was in his office when the bomb destroyed the building. He will be missed during the family’s annual get-together, where he played co-host for the “Clique Awards” along with his brother, Greg. Mr. Weaver’s laughter, dry sense of humor and role of the “straight man” will always be remembered by his family.
