Isaiah Enoch Webb

April 5, 1986 ~ May 23, 2020

Our beloved son Isaiah Enoch Webb returned to his Heavenly Father on May 23, 2020. Isaiah entered this life on April 5, 1986, in Reno, Nevada, to bless the lives or Rory Lyn and Linda Webb.

Isaiah had a love for electronics of all kinds. The commodore computer started his passion for gaming and he poured his intelligence and creativity into his passion. He went to college to learn the computer language to build his own virtual worlds. Isaiah also loved swimming, snowboarding, travel, board games, family and friends. Isaiah’s fondest wish was to marry his princess and live happily ever after.

Isaiah was a beautiful soul; you could feel it the minute you interacted with him! He was a lovable goof and his presence always livened the mood in the room, hours could carry on in minutes without notice.

Isaiah traveled across the world to try and find himself and where he fit in; sharing his adventures and the friends he made on social media for all to see.

He also became politically involved, with a formidable mind to discuss with on a wide variety of topics and philosophies.

Isaiah is survived by his parents; grandmothers Mickey Webb and Modene Smiraldo; sisters Melonie Redding and Jennifer Webb (Andy Martinez); brothers Clayton Webb and Jason (Brenda) Zerbel; innumerable aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. Isaiah will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

A Memorial for Isaiah Enoch Webb is scheduled for July 25 at the Adrian Community Church at 11 a.m. MT. Virtual attendance will be provided and livestreamed on Facebook through Adrian Community Church.
