Mr. Noah M. Webb Jr.

Noah Martin Webb, Jr., 81, peacefully departed this life on March 18, 2026, at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He was born on October 17, 1944, in Washington, DC to the late Noah Martin Webb, Sr. and Thelma Eliza Cole Webb. Noah spent his early years in Washington, DC and Laurel, Delaware. He graduated from William C. Jason Comprehensive High School in Georgetown, Delaware in June 1962. He continued his education at Wilberforce University in Wilberforce, Ohio, where he graduated in April 1968. While attending college, Noah was drafted into the United States Army during the Vietnam War. He honorably served his country with distinction and was discharged with the rank of Specialist Four, serving with the 604th Maintenance Company. As a Processing Technician with the Keystone Redeployment Center in Di An, he played a vital role in the retrograde operations associated with the redeployment of the First Infantry Division from the Republic of Vietnam to the United States. In recognition of his dedicated and faithful service, Private First Class Noah Martin Webb was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation from the Department of the Army, dated October 28, 1971, for his “faithful performance of duty.” His professionalism, technical expertise, and diligence made him an invaluable contributor to the Saigon Support Command and reflected his deep commitment to service. After graduating from Wilberforce University, Noah returned to Washington, DC before ultimately settling in Kansas City, Missouri, where he built a meaningful and impactful life. His professional journey began with the JOY Program, followed by years of dedicated service with the Juvenile Court as a Deputy Juvenile Officer. He later continued his career with Sony Corporation in North Kansas City, where he remained until his retirement in September 2001. Never one to slow down, Noah embraced entrepreneurship in retirement by founding his own carpet cleaning business, As Clean As It Gets. A man of strong faith, Noah joined St. James Gregory United Methodist Church in the late 1970s. After the congregation relocated to St. James Paseo, he became a charter member of the Daybreak Choir. His love of music was evident as he also sang with the Contemporary Choir, One Voice Choir, and The Master’s Men, sharing his gift as a first tenor vocalist. He was also a proud member of St. James No. 59 Masonic Lodge in Kansas City, Kansas. Noah had a vibrant personality and a deep love for friendly competition. He enjoyed tennis, pool, table tennis, bowling, dominoes, and nearly any game that gave him the chance to win—and talk a little good-natured “trash” while doing it. He also found joy in cooking, especially creating his own signature barbecue sauces—recipes that remained his well-guarded secret, always prepared with a smile. He leaves to cherish his memory his devoted wife of 46 years, Bessie Webb; his daughters, Sandi Peterson-Cooper (William, Sr.) of Atlanta, GA, and Courtney C. Webb of Kansas City, MO; his sister, Marteal Pitts, his brother, Maxwell Pitts, and his nephew and niece, Julian Gray and April Pitts, all of Washington, DC; his sister, Calenia Wharton of Smyrna, Delaware and his beloved grandchildren, Sydney K. Cooper of Washington, DC, Cameron A. Cooper of Chicago, IL, and William A. Cooper, Jr. of Atlanta, GA; his dear cousin, James R. Webb III and his family of Atlanta, GA; along with a host of relatives and dear friends across the United States. He was preceded in death by Misty Brooke Webb. Noah will be remembered for his strength, his service, his faith, his voice, and his unwavering love for family. His legacy lives on in the many lives he touched.
