Burial will follow in Newkirk Cemetery at 1:00 PM. Wayne was born March 17, 1939 in Arkansas City, Kansas to Virgil and Wilda Webb, and passed on March 21, 2013. He attended school at Arkansas City, graduating in 1957. Wayne worked all his life in farming, ranching, and the oilfield. He worked as a driller up to the summer of 2012, when he was once again injured on the job and lost full function of his hand, which needed an operation. He intended to return back to the oilfield after the surgery. If anyone knew Wayne, no one always agreed with him, but everyone had to love him! He enjoyed mowing, fishing, traveling Colorado, working, and getting dirty. Wayne married Mitsi Alsip on December 18, 1958. To this union was born John Lee, Gerald Dewayne, Melody Ann, and Mark Owen. After all is said and done, it has reached its highest point, LOVE. He married Sherry Crawford Kehnemund in 1987. They resided in Ames, Oklahoma. He helped raise Candie, Melanie, and Mandy. As a family they enjoyed birthday parties, basketball games, farming with Bob and Louise Crawford as a hired hand, and many first and lasts with a lot of laughter as well as tears. Sherry and Wayne enjoyed playing cards, and hauling wheat in the dead of heat with no A/C to the elevators. Sherry and Wayne divorced only to re-unite again later where they resided in Lahoma, Oklahoma. Melanie was his caregiver until December 2012. Then his loving companion, Robin Roush, of Lahoma, took good care of him, and a spark was ignited. He enjoyed the company of her dogs Molly and Murphy and Robin’s daughter Erin Roush. Wayne is survived by two sons, Gerald Webb ( Marsha) of Tulsa, and their children Jason Johnson and Ginger Williams; Mark Webb (Arminda)of Singapore, and their son Markus; daughter Melody White (Tim) of Jenks, and their children Lori and Jennifer; former wife Sherry Kendall; three step-daughters, Candice Blalock (Steve) of Watauga, Texas, and their children Taylor, Colton and Colby; Melanie Powers (Stephen) of Meno, and their children Ashley, Justyn, Kendyl, and Samantha; Amanda Waller ( Brandon) of Haltom City, Texas, and their children Alexander, Jeremiah and Ava; nephew Ronye Gates, and great-niece Rhonda, and great-nephews Sam and Frankie Gates; niece Becky Gates Weathers, great-nephews Chad and Garrett Weathers, loving companion Robin Rousch; numerous friends and co-workers.
