As a reporter in the 1970s and 1980s, he specialized in writing about transportation. He also was assistant Metropolitan editor and a business-desk editor.
In more than 40 years with The Post, starting in 1969, Mr. Feaver was a copy editor, an editor of Virginia news, assistant Metropolitan editor and a business desk editor. To the reporters under his supervision, he had a reputation as a “just the facts” hard-news editor.
He was a founder and former president of the Online News Association, which honored the Post website during Mr. Feaver’s tenure for general excellence and for its presentation of the newspaper’s series on shootings by Prince George’s County, Md., police. During his years at washingtonpost.com, he often commuted by bicycle from his home in Alexandria, Va., to the office in Arlington, much to the delight and amusement of the website’s staff members, most of whom were decades younger.
In 2001 his 37-year-old son, Steven Feaver, who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, died by suicide.
