He attended the Blanton School until 6th grade when the family moved to Ballinger. He graduated from Ballinger High School in 1954 and from McMurry College in 1958, receiving a Master’s Degree in 1962.

Weldon married Diane Wilson. They had two sons, Bradley Weldon Brevard and Brent Wilson Brevard. Weldon loved his family, his friends, Barnett Farm, and Ballinger, Texas. He loved young people of all ages and dedicated his life to working with them through teaching, coaching, and being an administrator in the public schools in Port Neches Groves, Ballinger, Boswell, Colorado City, and finally back to Ballinger.
