James Walter Weyaus

James Walter Weyaus, 37, of Onigum, Minnesota began his journey to the spirit world on Sunday, November 16th, 2025.  He was born to Corinne White and Walter Weyaus, Sr. in Cass Lake, MN on October 23rd, 1988.

James was a loyal friend that would help in any way he could, his heart was big and he loved unconditionally.  He was always laughing, joking around and having fun, he always told funny stories about himself and just said silly and goofy things.  There was never a dull moment with James.  He loved taking pictures, rap music, was TikTok famous and favored by the ladies. James was a fierce boxer that took him to many places and was also a very good hunter with a great shot, getting his first deer at the age of 10.  He was a good listener, big on loyalty, and a man of great respect.  He was a dedicated Minnesota Vikings fan and always said he lived his best life when he lived in Florida.  James loved his kids and his entire family.
