November 2, 1950 – September 2, 2026

John Paul Webb, 75, born in Pikeville, Kentucky, passed away September 2, 2026, at St. Anne’s Hospital. The youngest of four brothers, he was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Belva Collins Webb, and brothers Bob, Wendell, and Donnie.

John proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1969–1971, attaining the rank of Specialist 4th Class in Field Artillery and serving an overseas tour in South Korea during the Vietnam War.

After his military service, John settled in Columbus, Ohio, and spent 26 years with Worthington Industries as a steel mill operator, retiring in 2000. A hardworking and resourceful man, he took great pride in his family, his home, and the life he built.

John was an avid classic car enthusiast who loved working on older cars, remodeling homes, and building things with his hands. He was equally known for his one-of-a-kind sense of humor and his love of laughter.

He is survived by his children, Jonathan Webb and Michelle Webb-Fridman; beloved granddaughter, Faina Fridman; nephews, Paul Webb, Matt Webb, and Robert Webb; and nieces, Summer Odell, Cheryl Feiock, and Angie Reitter.

John will be interred at D.W. Babe James Cemetery in Gulnare, Kentucky. His life was marked by service, hard work, family, laughter, and pride in the life he built. He will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed.
