Robert "Corky" Arden Weber was born in Riverton , Wyoming on June 3, 1956 to John Henry and Gladys (Westbrook) Weber. He was raised on the Weber family ranch nestled in Lyons Valley in the foothills of the Wind River Range . Like his brothers and sisters western life was a part of Corky, and the mountains were his sanctuary. Corky worked in the Uranium mines in Jeffrey City, Wyoming as a welder after graduation from Trade School in Casper , Wyoming , later, he took over the family Ranch. On October 12, 1981 he was united in marriage to Pearl Berndt.

Just like his father ranch life was a passion for Corky, as he lived the life of a rancher for 52 years. He always had a warm smile and a good conversation for anyone who came along.

Corky made and cherished many friends throughout his life, all of which were very special to him, and he would often talk fondly of "old Times". He was also a dedicated family man. His wife and children and later his grandkids were a very special and important part of his life.

Corky was "John Wayne" the man on a paint horse, answerer of all questions and a hero to many. May we all remember the Husband, Father, Brother, Grandfather and friend now that he is in the arms of the Lord.

Thankful for having shared his life are his wife Pearl of Lander, his six children Katie Bingley and her husband Steven, of Fort Leonardwood, Missouri, Jake Weber, of Lander, WY , Scot Weber and fiancé Jaci Rico, both of Riverton, WY, Mike Weber, of Lander, WY, Beth Watts and her husband Josh, of Lander, WY and David Weber, of Lander, His mother Gladys Mildred Weber, of Lander, WY, 3 brothers; Dale Weber of Lander, WY, Ron Weber, of Lander, WY, and Jack Weber, of Jackson, WY, three sisters; Evelyn Asay, of Rolston, WY, Peggy McCall, of Cody, WY and Roseva Van Patten, of Jackson, WY and six grandchildren.
