of Timbo, AR
July 31, 1947 - November 22, 2025
John Elmer ''JE'' Webb, 78, of Timbo, Arkansas passed away on November 22, 2025. He was born on July 31, 1947 in Newnata, Arkansas to William Elmer Webb and Nora May (Adams) Webb.
JE lived a life marked by kindness, service and a genuine love for people. Over the years, he worked many jobs, but he was most known for his plumbing work alongside his brother, Ozell Webb. Together, they plumbed nearly every home in Stone County at one time or another, leaving a legacy of hard work and dedication in their community.
He later served as a jailer, where his compassion and ministry touched countless lives. JE befriended many of the inmates he worked with and often went out of his way to provide for them, buying shoes and other necessities without ever expecting anything in return.
A man with a true servant's heart, JE devoted much of his life to helping others. He volunteered his time to sit with the sick so their families could have a much-needed break and during Christmastime he joyfully dressed as Santa Claus, bringing smiles to children throughout the community. JE was deeply loved and his acts of kindness laid up many treasures in heaven. He was a faithful member of Bethany Missionary Baptist Church in Onia, Arkansas.
Left to cherish his memory is his godson, Christopher Herschel Webb of Brookland, Arkansas; nephews, Phillip (Melinda) Webb of Brookland, Arkansas, Joseph Kelley of Timbo, Arkansas, Steve (Kara) Webb of Lawton, Oklahoma and John Webb of Mountain View, Arkansas; nieces, Linda Lee and Robbie Moore both of Mountain View, Arkansas; brother-in-law, Ernest Kelley of Timbo, Arkansas and a host of great-nephews, great-nieces, extended family members and friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Sarah Berniece Kelley; his brothers, Howard Webb, Ozell Webb and Christopher Columbus Webb and his nephew, Douglas Kelley.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, November 28, 2025 at 1:00 PM at Roller Crouch Funeral Chapel in Mountain View, Arkansas. Brother Roy Jones and Brother Junior Barham will officiate.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to your favorite charity or your local church.
Roller Crouch Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

I remember JE and Howard coming out to Fox when I was growing up to see my Dad Webster Berry. They would have their hunting caps and coats. So happy and I remember when I was on the Ambulance JE seemed to always be there with info and that Smile. He truly was the kindness man and sincere with his concern for everyone’s life. Can’t wait to see you again. You and Howard are together again!

I can not say words to describe how much JE meant to me. He sat with Ronnie so much during the last 9 months of Ronnie's life during the fight with cancer. I dont know what I would have done without him. I will miss him so very much. I will pray for the family for comfort and good memories. May God Bless you.
