James Webb

1936 - 2019

WEBB, James Wadley On Sept. 26, 2019, James Wadley Webb passed away peacefully at his home of 55 years, surrounded by his family. Jim was a man who exuded generosity, love, empathy, and faithfulness. He was a compassionate mentor and friend to many, though his favorite role was always as dedicated husband to June LeBlanc Webb, his wife of nearly 57 years. He adored being a father to his 8 children, grandfather to 22, great-grandfather to 3, and brother to Nancy Sutton of Marietta, Georgia. He was someone who lived with intentionality, purpose, and joy, fueled by the grace and love he received from his relationship with Christ. Jim was born in Tampa, Florida on January 20, 1936. He spent most of his career at Procter & Gamble, where he was crucial in the professional development of many colleagues, especially as a Senior Manager in Human Resources. After his retirement from P&G in 1994, he joined Triaxia Partners as Executive Chairman, sharing his expertise and extraordinary insight developed through his years of being on the front lines of human experience. One of his most significant contributions was his work with Eagle Ranch in Flowery Branch, Georgia. For more than three decades, Jim served on the board of Eagle Ranch, guiding and supporting the organization in its mission to make life better for children and families. His final passion project was the Wings Center, a facility offering community-based services on the Eagle Ranch property. The Wings Center at Eagle Ranch aims to meet the growing need for mental healthcare and comprehensive family support in the surrounding community and will enable the ranch to mentor and support organizations with similar missions. The center will be named the James W. Webb Wings Center in his memory. He will be laid to rest in his ancestral home of Cedar Key, Florida, close to his beloved parents, Etta Wadley Webb Watson and Douglas Drew Webb. Jim's memorial will be held at Eagle Ranch on Oct. 26, 2019 at 2 PM. In lieu of flowers, he requested that contributions be made to Eagle Ranch (www.eagleranch.org). We ask that attendants of his service dress in joyful colors to celebrate his life, legacy, and the joy he brought into the lives of so many people. The family desires that this memorial service reflect how Jim spent his life: glorifying God by loving and serving others.
