Howard LeRoy Webb

1931 — 2024

Howard LeRoy Webb left his Earthly home that he built with his sweetheart of 71 years, Katheryn Blanche, on September 26, 2024. The home he constructed here on Earth was the capstone of a man who built his way out of poverty, built freedom for people in Korea, and built many homes in Utah County that display his unique brand of craftsmanship. Howard created a better and more beautiful world than he was born into.

Howard was born on September 10, 1931 to Howard Lars and Dorotha (Underwood) Webb, in Mammoth, Utah. He graduated from Spanish Fork High School and LDS Seminary in 1949. He was a veteran of the Korean War and received the Bronze Star with Valor. He married Katheryn Blanche Hales on January 5, 1953. After the war, Howard attended and graduated from Utah Technical College in Provo, Utah, with an emphasis in carpentry. He worked for Westco Cabinets and then branched out on his own, starting Webb’s Custom Cabinets. He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He and Katheryn served as missionaries at the Lindon Cannery in 2004-2005.

Howard was preceded in death by his parents, his two sisters, Jean and Roseanne, his son-in-law Brent Clark, and his grandson Brandon Clark. He is survived by his wife Katheryn, his children Sheila Clark, Robert Webb (Robbie), Michael Webb (Karen), Christopher (Natalie), 20 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
