UPDATE: Sheriff’s Office identifies victim of Mollie Kathleen Mine incident Weier lived in Victor, a small town outside of Cripple Creek, and many in the community, like most in the area, knew him. Weier was described as a very active person in the community and well-respected by all. Recently, he had completed his fire certificate to be a volunteer firefighter in the small community outside Cripple Creek. “My feelings are… that he was attempting to make everybody safe. Now, I don’t know what occurred though. I think our investigation will come out with that.

Anyone who met him could see that within minutes. His bond with his son was something I’ve never seen before—true best friends and adventure buddies. I can’t even begin to think of how much I will miss him because I know his son will miss him 100 times more. Our hearts and souls are breaking, and I wish I could take his place. All we can do now is remember the incredible man he was and do our best to take care of his son." Weier is remembered as a "Son, Brother, Friend, Deeply Devoted Father, and Hero."
