10/16/1947 AD born
Weir was born in San Francisco, California, to John (Jack) Parber (1929-2015), of Italian and German ancestry, and a fellow college student, Phyllis Inskeep (1924-1997), of German, Irish, and English ancestry, who later gave him up for adoption.
He was raised by his adoptive parents, Frederic Utter and Eleanor Cramer Weir, in the suburb of Atherton.
He began playing guitar at age thirteen after less successful experimentation with the piano and the trumpet. He had trouble in school because of undiagnosed dyslexia and he was expelled from nearly every school he attended, including Menlo School in Atherton and Fountain Valley School in Colorado, where he met future Grateful Dead lyricist John Perry Barlow.
