Carl was born December 22, 1937 in Watson, Arkansas, the son of Ernest Weber and Ader S. Allen Weber. Carl was raised in Arkansas and after high school joined the Air Force. In the Air Force he was stationed in Turkey during the Vietnam War and would fly in and out of Vietnam to work on the planes. He later was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada where he specialized in avionics. He even worked on the famous Thunderbirds planes.
When he was stationed at Mountain Home Air Force Base he met the love of his life, Donna Mae Yager, of Payette, Idaho. They were later married. When he retired from the U.S. Air Force, they moved to California and then settled back in Idaho. In Idaho he started his second career working construction and operating heavy equipment. He worked for Fall Brook Water District running backhoe and pipe layer. He would also work as a mechanic. He was so excited to work with his sons at Yager-Weber Construction in Jerome and was an integral part of their success.
When Donna became ill he cut back on the construction work to take care of her saying "I would not trade her for a million bucks and will take care of her at our home". He would do anything for her and she received the best of care.
Carl is survived by his children, Carl Yager and Sean Weber. He is also survived by his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many extended family members and friends
He was preceded in death by his parents and Donna's son, Shannon Bo White.
