Jerry Lee Webb, Sr. – age 78, of Kearney, Missouri, passed away Thursday morning, September 12, 2024, at University Health Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
Jerry was born on October 17, 1945, the son of Leo Walter and Olive Denelda (McTavish) Webb in Moniteau County, Missouri. He grew up in the Kansas City area. Jerry worked in construction and was a member of the Laborers’ Local Union #663. He worked mainly for Clarkson Construction doing bridge construction. Jerry always knew how to tell a good story and make people laugh. He was a good dad and loved his grandchildren. In retirement, you could find him drinking coffee at the local coffee shop in his overalls and trucker hat. Junking was as much a hobby for Jerry as it was a way to earn extra income. Searching for treasures and finding knick-knacks to resell kept Jerry thinking he had found a fortune. Jerry will be missed.
Jerry was preceded in death by his parents and siblings: Leo Webb Jr., Dorsey Webb, Ray Webb, Elmer Webb, Ronald Webb, Paul Webb, Denelda “Nellie” Webb, Marjorie Wheeler, Madaline “Dolly” Webb, Leroy Webb, and Wilma Hoffman.

Several nieces, nephews, cousins, and other extended family members also survive.
