Harold Edward Webb
March 29, 1971 - July 27, 2026

Harold Edward Webb, 55, of Notasulga Alabama, passed away on July 27th 2026

Born on March 29th 1971 in Notasulga Alabama, Harold Webb lived a life defined by hard work, kindness, and an unwavering love for his family.

Harold is survived by his children, Cody Moore (Kim), Christopher Webb, Debra Renea Webb, Alden McNeill, and Daylen McNeill (Jose Alfaro); his cherished grandchildren, Keaton Moore, Kyzen Moore, Cohn Moore, Re*****on Baker, Waylon Baker, Levi Baker, and Carolina Baker; and his sisters, Sytillia Carlisle, Sandra Waldrop, and Patsy Webb.

He is lovingly remembered by his longtime companion of 18 years, Jessica Mcneill with whom he shared a lifelong bond of love and friendship.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Mae Dean Gresham; his father, Milford “Bud” Webb; his stepfather, Martin Gresham; and his sister, Geraldine Webb.

He was a true jack of all trades. Whether he was operating heavy equipment, working as a mechanic, welding, driving a truck, or fixing something that everyone else thought couldn’t be repaired, there wasn’t much he couldn’t do. Working with his hands wasn’t just a way to make a living—it was who he was. He took pride in doing things the right way, and if he had been able to, he would have kept working until his very last day.

He was the kind of man who put family first. His greatest joy came from being surrounded by the people he loved, and there was never a doubt about how much they meant to him. He had a heart bigger than most. If someone needed help and he had the means to give it, he never hesitated. Whether it was the shirt off his back, a warm meal at his table, or simply his time and support, he was always willing to help anyone in need.

He will be remembered for his generous heart, his unwavering work ethic, his kindness, and the love he gave so freely. The impact he made on those who knew him will never be forgotten, and his legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched.
