Raiden Drake Webster, age 20, of Anna, IL, passed away suddenly as a result of a motor vehicle accident on Saturday, August 30, 2025 at 7:21 p.m. in Memorial Hospital of Carbondale Emergency Room.

He was born on April 30, 2005, in Madison, OH. Raiden was the son of Samantha (Gregory) and Brian Busby.

Raiden grew up in Carterville, IL and Anna, IL and was a graduate of Anna-Jonesboro Community High School Class of 2023.

Upon graduating from high school, Raiden enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and proudly served his country. While serving as a Marine Corps Reservist, Raiden went to work as a correctional officer for Pulaski County Jail where he has worked for the past year.

Raiden was of the Christian faith. He was the kind of guy that everyone loved to be around. He was very mature for his age, but was also very funny and loved to spend time with his brothers.
