Jerry Edward Webb
Age, 77, of Farmington, Arkansas, passed away Wednesday, January 11th, 2023, at his home in Farmington, Arkansas. He was born May 21, 1945, in Rudd, Arkansas, the son of Dennis and Margie (Phillips) Webb.
Jerry retired from Campbell Soup Company-Research Facility in Farmington after 30 years of working in poultry products research. He had received the Outstanding Service Award at the University of Arkansas Animal Science Department. He was author of one patent and numerous scientific journal articles. He had served on the Farmington School Board. He was a member of the Institute of Food Technology, Poultry Science Association, Alpha Zeta Fraternity, and the Kiwanis.
Jerry received many awards during his lifetime, but his greatest reward was the salvation that Jesus Christ gave him many years ago. It was obvious to everyone that he loved God, his wife, his family, and his friends. Papa Jerry was a great example of love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Jerry also served many years at Little Elm Baptist Church as a deacon and later a Sunday school teacher and deacon at Calvary Baptist Church. He was a life-giving member that served faithfully alongside his Pastors, congregation, and community for many years. Jerry spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, gardening, and coaching baseball but his greatest joy was recording countless hours of video and taking pictures of his family so not to miss one moment of their lives. Jerry was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2003 but never missed a single moment to be with the ones he loved and spent countless hours pouring into his family and recounting his favorite memories.
He was preceded in death by one son, Jerry Edward Webb Jr., his parents, Dennis and Margie Webb, and one brother, Danny Webb.
Survivors include his wife of 56 years Brenda McCreary Webb; one son Kris Webb and his wife Jamie of Farmington, Arkansas; two brothers Randall Webb and his wife Linda of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and Randy Webb of Lincoln, Arkansas; 3 grandchildren Gavin and wife Lynlie, Grace, and Mabry Webb.

Tributes
Webb family,
We miss him already! Jerry was such a good friend and neighbor these many years. He was so good to Glenn at Campbell Soup . Then he and Glenn worked together with the cattle and farm. He continued to be that special friend to me and my sons and grandsons.
I look forward to the day we shall all be reunited!
Much love and prayers for all of you—-Donna

Jerry was always a solid Christian man we could depend on every day, a dedicated worker and family man, husband, and father. He made long lasting contributions in research and development providing key knowledge, insights, and experience that made possible implementation of novel, creative food product and processing projects that are still being used today. He was professional in his job and always looking for ways to improve quality of life as well as products. It was my privilege to work with him daily for over 11 years and I saw in good times and bad his steadfast commitment to Jesus, and I have no doubt of his eternal salvation and current new home in Heaven with Lord Jesus. Now to make sure we also serve Jesus and reunite with Jerry on that day.
