Randall Claude Weaver (born January 3, 1948) is a former Green Beret who was at the center of a deadly confrontation with U.S. federal agents at Ruby Ridge, Idaho in 1992. Randy Weaver was the only son of four children born to Clarence and Wilma Weaver, a farming couple from Villisca, Iowa. The Weavers were deeply religious and had difficulty finding a denomination which matched their views; hence they often moved around among Evangelical, Presbyterian, and Baptist churches. Weaver earned decent grades in school and enjoyed a variety of sports. He professed his faith in Jesus Christ at age 11, however recently stated at a news conference for Edward and Elaine Brown: "I ain''t afraid of dying no more. I''m curious about the afterlife. And I''m an atheist."
