Richard Webb April 27, 1955 - September 28, 2015

Richard Webb, 60, passed away September 28, 2015, with his family by his side in Bend. A simple ceremony was held Saturday at the Webb's home.

He was born April 27, 1955 to his mother, Lenora O'Dell.

Rick was a lover of classic rock music and his 1990 Fat Boy Harley. He spent his years traveling with his wife, Kelly Webb, and daughter, Nicole Webb, on his bike, visiting family and seeing the country.

Those who knew Rick knew how loving and understanding Rick was. He moved his family out to the Central Oregon area from Southern California in 2002. He loved his family and all the animals that the Webb family had at their small ranch. There was never a dull moment being friends with Rick. He spent his time camping, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors with all his friends and family.

Rick had been battling liver cancer for the past couple of years and had been extremely healthy for someone with his condition. But the disease took his life on that September morning. Rick although fairly unresponsive, waited to hear his loved ones, who couldn't make it in time, prayers and goodbyes over the phone before taking his final breaths, his daughter was lying in his arms, and his local family and wife were by his side.

His final days were spent surrounded by his family and friends. His life would seem too short for many, but those who knew him understood that the quality of his life was so great. He was such a kind, courageous, and loving man who reminded everyone around him how precious life was and how to spend your years with the ones you love.

Richard Webb was a hero, an inspiration, best friend, husband, father, son, and the most loving man you could know! He was loved by so many. This quote by a man Rick loved sums him up perfectly.

"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -John Lennon.

To Rick's friends and family, he was the world.
