Glen Aldous Weight passed away surrounded by family on August 21, 2021 at the Brigham City Hospital. Aldous was born on March 3, 1932 in Salt Lake City, Utah. His parents were Ethel Mendenhall and Henry Milnes Weight. He started life as a tiny miracle, being brought home in a small shoebox and kept warm on the oven door until he grew bigger.
Aldous was raised in Springville and was proud to be a Springville Red Devil. Following his high school graduation, he played football for BYU and graduated with his teaching degree in biology and history.
He served his country in the Army National Guard.
Aldous met the love of his life, Patricia Johnson, in a religion class. He wished her a happy birthday and then accidentally stepped on her toes, getting their relationship started off on the right foot. They later married on September 12, 1952 in the Logan Temple. Aldous and Pat raised five outstanding boys and one wonderful daughter who were their pride and joy.
He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where he served in various callings, including the High Council and Bishopric. Aldous would often start Sunday dinners by sharing his testimony with his family before serving delicious hand cut fries as part of the meal.
Making their first home in an adobe house in Vernal, Utah, Aldous began his teaching career. In 1958, Aldous moved his family to Perry, Utah and taught at the Intermountain Indian School in Brigham City. Aldous spent many a lunch break playing ping pong and became quite the champ. When the Indian School closed, Aldous continued his teaching at Bridgerland Technology College in Logan, Utah. Later he worked for the Army as a Vocational Test Interpreter until he retired. Following his retirement, Aldous held one of his favorite jobs of all, a school bus driver. He also volunteered at the Brigham City hospital for many years.
Aldous loved the outdoors.
Aldous is survived by his children: Terry (Jane) Weight; Steven (Debbie) Weight; Brian (Cheryl) Weight; Sandra (Kevin) Nelson, Gregg (Karen) Weight, and Tyler (Brooklynn) Weight; 22 grandchildren and 39 great-grandchildren.
Preceded in death by his sweetheart, Patricia; infant daughter, Darcie, his parents and siblings: Gordon, LaMar, Naomi (Oni), and Ross.
