David Ward Webb Obituary
David Ward Webb, 72, entered eternal life on Monday, March 4, 2024, at the Robley Rex VA Medical Center in Louisville, Kentucky. He was born on January 6, 1952, at Saint Edwards Hospital in New Albany, Indiana, to the late Claude I. and Grace C. Webb (Smith).
David's life was marked by unwavering dedication and service. He proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps, embodying the values of honor, courage, and commitment.
Following his military service, David embarked on a career in the shipbuilding industry, where he held various roles including human resources and safety director. His contributions were felt deeply at Jeff Boat and Marine Builders Inc., where he dedicated his skills and expertise.
A proud member of the American Legion Post 204 of Sellersburg, Indiana, David found camaraderie and community among fellow veterans.
In his leisure time, David found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He cherished moments spent in nature, whether hunting or fishing, and had a passion for gardening. His keen eye for discovery led him to treasure hunting for arrowheads, a pursuit that brought him immense satisfaction.
David's creative spirit thrived in his hobbies, as he found solace in building model cars and airplanes. A handyman, he was always immersed in tinkering and fixing things, finding fulfillment in the act of creation and repair.
David was preceded in death by his brothers, Hulen and Harold Webb.
Survivors include his loving wife, Joan Webb (Mathis) of Sellersburg, Indiana, his children, Mellisa Denson (Eric) of Jacksonville, North Carolina, David W. Webb, Jr. (Stacey) of Wilmington, North Carolina, Charlotte Hicks of New Albany, Indiana, Chad Hicks of Sellersburg, Indiana, his sister, Vivian Bisinger (Pat) of Floyds Knobs, Indiana, his grandchildren, Justin, Olivia, Hylton, Jackson, Jacob and Caleb.
