   Life Stories | Posted on September 24, 2026

Don Laverne Weatherall lived an extraordinary life of faith, family, Christian education and service to others. To those who knew him well and even to those who met him only briefly, Don had a way of making people feel comfortable, valued and important. His friendliness, sense of humor, calm demeanor, selflessness and genuine love for people were qualities that remained with him throughout his life.

...

Don's commitment to education reached well beyond administration. He worked with teams of educators on the development of Bible textbooks used in secondary religion courses in Adventist schools around the world. He also served as an adjunct professor at Andrews University and La Sierra University, continuing to teach and mentor future educators.

Don's legacy cannot be measured simply by the positions he held or the schools and educational systems he helped lead. It can be found in generations of students who were encouraged by him, educators who learned from him, colleagues who trusted him, friends who valued him and family members who knew the depth of his love.
 
He was a teacher, administrator, mentor, leader, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and man of deep faith. He spent his life helping others learn, grow and recognize their own value.
 
Don was greatly loved, and his influence will continue through the family he cherished, the educational community he served and the countless lives he touched along the way.
