Weldon was born on August 1, 1938 in Armstrong County, Texas to parents John and Elna (Davis) Fletcher.  He grew up in Crosby County, living on the family farm where he learned to grow cotton.  He attended school and graduated in 1956 from Crosbyton High School.  During his high school years he played all sports which led to his love of fast pitch softball.  After graduation he served in the US Army in Germany.

When he returned home from Germany, he lived and worked in Levelland where he met his future wife, Nancy Irene Davis.  They were married on August 1, 1964.  A short time later they moved to Crosby County (Wake) and began farming the family farm.  They were blessed with three children, Darren Wilson, Shannon Irene and Lee Franklin.  Years later they left the farm living in Crosbyton a short time and then moving to Snyder.  Upon retirement they moved to Mineral Wells to be centrally located to their children and attended Southside Church of Christ.

Weldon loved all sports.  He began playing in high school which spilled over into adulthood.  He played fast pitch softball for many years for two teams in Lubbock (Merchants and Sewells).  Once in Mineral Wells he turned to golf and made many steadfast friends at Holiday Hills County Club.
