Arthur Weed

Arthur was born in Boston on March 2, 1941, firstborn of Roger and Hilary Lunt Weed. The family grew up in both Massachusetts and New York states.

He attended Milton Academy in Milton, MA, graduating in 1959, and holding the javelin distance record for the school. From there he went to Univ. of Colorado undergraduate and CU Law School. Throughout his law career, he practiced what he believed: everyone deserves a defense under the US judicial system. He defended many who might not have had anyone on their side without him. He was an honest, compassionate person and dedicated himself to what he believed was right. He practiced in both CO and Santa Barbara, CA.

Never exactly personifying the corporate image of a rich, fancy lawyer, Arthur’s wilder side was also very memorable. He was an adventurous soul and tried to live his life to the fullest.

He had the honor of being a father to his stepdaughter, Julia. He was more influential in Julia’s life than he realized, and she was able to tell him so when she visited Maine last fall. He was so proud of her.

Arthur went from ‘wild man’ to ‘gentle man’ in his last years, and experienced unconditional love as he succumbed to dementia. He is survived by his brother, Roger and sister Hilary, and their children and grandchildren; his former wife and friend Natalia and her daughter Julia, many cousins and loyal friends.

Arthur left quickly and comfortably on January 14.
