Robert Earl Weldon, Jr. passed away Friday, September 13, 2024, in Conroe, Texas.
Robert was born October 18, 1947, to Robert Sr. and Peggy Weldon. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and was very talented at woodworking. He had a knack for looking at furniture pieces and then hand-carving an exact duplicate on a miniature scale. He hand-carved a lot of beautiful miniature-sized furniture pieces under the name “Minikins.” He was also very gifted in the area of furniture repair and refinishing. For many years, he owned his own business, “Weldon’s Furniture Repair and Refinishing” in Port Arthur, Texas. Robert never knew a stranger. He made friends everywhere he went; to know him was to love him.
