Nelson Earl Webb

Nelson Earl Webb, age 63, of Golden City, Missouri passed away Thursday, September 17, 2020, at Mercy Hospital of Joplin.

Nelson worked at Prairie Screening in Lockwood, Missouri, but he couldn’t be described with a single title. Nelson was great at many things. He was an award winning writer, a professional musician, a philosopher and a friend, but most importantly to him, he was a husband, a father and a granddad. He loved his family with a vigor, passion and ferocity that can never be measured in words.

Survivors include his wife, Linda; three sons: Gabreil, Golden City, Missouri; Andrew (Eleena) Webb, Clever, Missouri; Matthew (Ansley) Webb, Joplin, Missouri; one daughter, Sarah (Jason) Engle, Golden City, Missouri’ one brother, Gregg Webb, Golden City; one sister, Vicki (Andre) Lenz, Celina, Texas; nine grandchildren: Halli Webb, Mason Webb, Addison Engle, Bentley Engle, Maci Webb, Lanie Engle, Acey Webb, Brody Webb, Oliver Engle; his mother-in-law, Peggy Forste, Lockwood; two brother-in-laws: David (Debbie) Forste and Clifton (Kay) Forste, all of Golden City, Missouri; and life long friend, Carla (Tim) Davis of Golden City, Missouri, as well as nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
