Arnold Lee Webb, 68, of Nevada, Missouri, passed away on April 1, 2026, at Freeman Hospital in Joplin, Missouri, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on December 2, 1957, in Clovis, New Mexico, to Eugene and Etta Webb.
Arnold spent much of his working life in the printing industry in Kansas City before later retiring from 3M in Nevada. He had a deep passion for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and anything that allowed him to be outside. Known for his ability to fix just about anything, Arnold was a true handyman. Above all, he loved his family deeply, and being a “Papa” was his greatest joy.
He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Terri Webb of Nevada, Missouri; his children, Whitni Webb of Pittsburg, Kansas, and Jordan Mendez (Bryan Mendez) of Pittsburg, Kansas; and his father, Eugene Webb of Nevada, Missouri. Arnold was the oldest of five children and is also survived by his siblings: Kelly Webb (Jerry Moore) of Bolivar, Missouri; Scott Webb (Janice Webb) of Nevada, Missouri; Donna Dahmer (Don Dahmer) of Nevada, Missouri; and Jerri Miller (Chip Miller) of Camdenton, Missouri. He is further survived by his four grandchildren, Lainee Traver, Cora Eguae, Jensen Alcott, and Hendrix Mendez, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews, and close family friends.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Etta Jane Webb.
