David Michael Weaver "Dave"

August 15, 2003 is a day that will not soon be forgotten by us here at Team Metal Finishing, Inc. On this day, our President, David Michael Weaver lost his life in a single car crash. We are left with great sorrow and a void that can never be filled.

David was more than a President to most of us here. He was our family, friend, confidant and brother. He was very active in the community and believed that he could make a difference. He was an inspiration to all of us and he will be greatly missed.

David was 35 years old and had been President of Team Metal Finishing for the last 3 years.

Your prayers and understanding have been a pillar of support to us

In Remembrance...

Our family, our company and our community suffered a severe blow on August 15th when my son, David Michael Weaver, was killed in a car accident. The response to our grief and the outpouring of sympathy has comforted us, but the pain will remain in our hearts and minds forever. David was an integral part of the founding of our company even when he was a student at Clemson University and he was only able to work nights and weekends. In Jan. 2000, I appointed David as President of Team Metal Finishing and turned my attention to other business and personal interests. He was instrumental in directing the company to new heights and accomplishments and was poised to take us to a level undreamed of at our founding in 1988. The company had recently taken some very important steps forward by becoming ISO compliant and by installing a state of the art waste treatment system. David felt that being a leader in technology would ensure the continued success of the company. Although he is not here physically, we all feel that he is leading us in spirit. I have rededicated myself to trying to fill his shoes and achieve the goals he had set. All the employees and friends of TMF have promised me that they will help me fulfill this goal.

He was a very special young man. My beloved son. May he rest in peace.

-Dan Weaver, President & CEO

As the President of Team Metal Finishing, Inc. Dave was a great leader. He knew the technology of plating and what it took to get the job done. He strived for customer satisfaction through professionalism, quality and turn around.

He also was a friend. He had compassion for people, and over the years had touched countless lives. But most important, he was my best friend, he was my brother. He was a true friend. Someone that I could count on through thick and thin.

I miss Dave dearly and forever will have a hole in my heart.

Dave was a wonderful man who was full of life. In friendship and in the workplace I looked to Dave as a leader. He always had good advice and was a great listener, no matter how busy he was. I admired Dave, and still do admire him, in all that he accomplished in his life and all that he did for people. If Dave could help he always did. I will miss him dearly. He is a legend that has left a legacy and will always be remembered by everyone that knew him. I will always hold him close to my heart.

Dave was a wonderful person. He was also a great leader. He was a blast to be around no matter what. He was also very inspirational. If you didn't understand something he would help you whether it took five minutes or and hour to explain. Time didn't seem to matter to him when it came to helping people. Dave was the one person I knew I could depend on if I needed something or just needed someone to talk to . I will miss him very much.
