Jeff Webber
Jeff Webber, 66, died January 7th, 2019 in a fatal plane crash near Colusa, CA. He entered the world on January 7, 1953, kicking and screaming to the proud parents of R.B. and Shirley Webber. After matriculating through the public school system in Medford, OR, he attended Yale University, graduating in 1976. He then attended the Stanford Graduate School of Business where he was the self-proclaimed smartest person in his class.
He was known for his gregarious sense of humor, love for entertaining, and intellectual sparring. His passion for the outdoors led him to some of the best hunting, fishing, skiing, and houseboating in North America. His passing will certainly ensure a mass waterfowl repopulation in the fabled Butte Sink. When he was not outdoors, he was a rabid fan of the Oregon Ducks and the Golden State Warriors.
Mr. Webber was well respected as a family man and was adored by his two children: Nicole Ashley Webber, 24 and Robert Thomas Webber, 21. Family favorites also included numerous four legged friends: Goose, Roux, Moose, Haute, Hershey, Emcee, and Lukie.
Mr. Webber began his professional career at Mckenzie & Company in Los Angeles, which was the beginning of a lifelong career as an early-stage investor, board member, and close advisor to scores of emerging growth technology companies in the Silicon Valley. He founded New Venture Consultants, Inc., R.B. Webber & Company, and was a managing director of venture capital funds. Throughout his career, Jeff ardently mentored and supported his friends and family to achieve their dreams.
At the request of the deceased there will be no funeral or memorial service. However, those who wish to donate in his name are invited to do so with "Stanford University's Mood Disorders Center", "Big Wave Project", or the charity of their choice. Webber was an extraordinary contributor to and advocate for mental health causes.
