He fought a short but valiant battle against cancer and his mighty heart stopped beating, then he peacefully returned to the arms of his Heavenly Father. He was a noble man, a truly loved and loving father, a spiritual giant, a brilliant academic, and an influential industry leader. He and his eternal sweetheart of 51 years, Jaroldeen Asplund Edwards, were sealed in life as they will be in eternity. Theirs was a truly glorious marriage! They were the parents of 12 wonderful children, 75 splendid grandchildren, and the miracle of seven great-grandchildren.

He declared the gospel with all his might and he was a master teacher. Members will always remember his booming bass voice in each ward choir where he sang, as well as his resounding "Amen" after every prayer. Missionary work was always close to his heart, and one of the great joys of his life was when he and his wife served in the South African Mission (Johannesberg), where they established institutes and seminaries and fell in love with the people of South Africa. Weston and Jaroldeen were serving as temple workers at the Timpanogos Temple at the time of his death. The focus of his life was always his family. He loved his children fiercely and his abiding motto was "Make Righteousness Fun." He succeeded in making family life a great adventure for every child. He had a deep and abiding love for children. Every grandchild could not wait to run to his breathtaking embrace and they knew they were loved unconditionally. He prayed every morning and night for every child, grandchild, and great-grandchild by name. This magnificent man filled every minute of his life with meaningful labor and the Lord took him home mid-stride. All 115 members of his immediate posterity pray that they will follow his pure example.
