Remembering Former Green Hornets President Duwain Weibe

Longtime Severna Park resident Duwain Weibe died of natural causes on January 1 at the age of 74. He had recently relocated to Whitinsville, Massachusetts in 2024 with his wife, Cissy, to be closer to family.

Born on September 24, 1951 at Fort Meade, Duwain was the son of Arthur and Dorothy Weibe, who preceded him in death, along with his younger brother, Greg Weibe. As part of a United States Air Force family, Duwain had an early life shaped by frequent moves and diverse experiences. He spent his formative years at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii; Tachikawa Air Base in Tokyo, Japan; and at March Air Force Base in Southern California, before eventually settling in Maryland. He graduated from Lansdowne High School and earned a degree from the University of Maryland at College Park, where he was a quarterback on the football team.

In 1975, Duwain married Cissy, and together they built a rich and loving life over 50 years of marriage. Their early years together brought them to Maryland, Texas and California before they made Severna Park their home in 1985, a community they cherished for nearly four decades.

Duwain was a proud father and is survived by his wife, Cissy, and three sons: Matthew (Lauren), David, and Aaron (Maritzaida). He was also a devoted grandfather, lovingly known as “Pop Pop” to his six grandchildren: Annalise, Madelyn, Cole, Annika, Landon and Rita. He was a constant presence in his children’s lives, cheering on Matt and Dave through years of soccer, from the Green Hornets to Bethany College, and supporting Aaron’s music journey at Greensboro College and later with U.S. Air Force bands. Duwain took great pride in the paths each of his sons pursued.

Weibe was also deeply committed to community service. He served as the volunteer president of the Greater Severna Park Athletic Association (GSPAA) for 10 years throughout the 1990s, helping to expand the organization and create more opportunities for youth to engage in sports. Weibe was raised in the Lutheran tradition and carried those values of faith, humility and service throughout his life.

A gathering to celebrate his life will be held at a later time.

In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to the American Kidney Fund.

Funeral arrangements are under the care of the Pickering & Son Upton Funeral Home in Upton, Massachusetts.
