Kyle Weaver was active, an adrenaline junky of sorts. He loved motorcycle riding, water skiing and snowboarding. He also recently “fulfilled a dream” of jumping from an airplane, noted Jo Cameron, owner of DeJa Vu salon where he worked the past 12 years, and also his cousin’s wife.
Cameron referred to Weaver as having the “biggest heart ever” and someone who would go the extra mile for others. Along with other family members and friends of Weaver, she is mourning his loss this week after he died in an accident March 20 on Highway 25 near Bolado Road while riding his 2008 Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle. Coming around a curve, he could not avoid a semi-tractor trailer turning onto the road and blocking both lanes.
Weaver was born in Hollister and lived here until age 4. He moved back after high school – his parents still live in Idaho – and since then had worked for DeJa Vu after finishing classes at Wayne’s Beauty College in Salinas, Cameron said.
In describing Weaver’s tendency to help others, Cameron recalled how one of his longtime client’s health had been declining for a while. Each Wednesday, he would meet her at the bottom of the stairs to help her to the second-floor salon. That went on for months, she said.
“The last time she was here,” Cameron said, “he actually carried her down to the car. That shows his character. You could never out-give Kyle. He’d give the shirt off his back. He was a real guy.”
Cameron also said Weaver loved to travel and had especially aspired to fly overseas to Europe at some point.
“He died doing something he loved to do, and we will greatly miss him.”
