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 Technologist, 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 his 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 lifegiving 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.
