Obituary

WEBB, DAVID FRANKLIN was born 17 Oct 1964 In Winter Park, FL and passed away suddenly on 8 January 2017.  Generous and loving father, husband, son, and brother, David was preceded in death by his oldest brother Danny,  special Aunt and Uncle Jim and Wanda Westfall, and grandparents.  David is survived by his loving wife of 25 years, Stephenie, beloved son Nicholas, parents Kenneth and Vona Webb, sister Kenita (Randy) Bushee, brother, Ken (Pam) Webb and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, and two sweet guinea pigs, Annie and Nancy. He graduated from Astronaut High School, 1982 (Titusville, FL), attended UCF (Orlando, FL), and graduated from University of Texas at San Antonio, with a degree in Electrical Engineering (EIT certificate).  As a drummer in his high school marching band, David formed friendships that lasted his lifetime.  He had the distinction of performing with Suncoast Sound Drum and Bugle Corps (member Drum Corps International) during the years the corps earned Open Class/Division I Finalist. David’s number one joy was as a husband and father, teaching his son the joys of fishing, hiking, camping, and his love for the “good” music.  He couldn’t have been more proud of his son’s accomplishments in Scouting, school, and developing into the wonderful young man he is today. David generously gave his time to his church, serving as lead for their Habitat for Humanity efforts; as an ELF and head ELF, making toys for St. Simon’s Kids; and making crosses for the annual Honduras Mission Trip, which he called the “beating heart of the church”.   He will also be remembered as his neighborhood’s ‘fix it’ man.  David began his scouting career as a Cub Scout in Langdon, ND, re-engaging as an adult volunteer when his son became a Cub Scout.  David was Treasurer of Cub Pack 836 (DeGolyer Elementary) and Assistant Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 800 (Lovers Lane UMC).  He attended Wood Badge 108 and was beaded on Nov 2014.  As an active Scouter, David’s passion was training, whether adults or youth.  A Scout Instructor, he taught Introduction to Outdoor Leader Skills, Advanced Leader Training, and classes at the University of Scouting.   He was also a certified NRA Range Safety Officer, staffing many district outdoor events.  He served as Blackland Prairie District’s Roundtable Commissioner.  He was inducted into the Order of the Arrow (BSA’s honor society), became an OA Associate Advisor for the Makade Aki Chapter, and attained Brotherhood.  David molded the lives of many young men in the community. David began his career as a design engineer intern with Martin Marietta (Orlando), followed by Pratt & Whitney (West Palm Beach), where he met his future wife, an engineering co-op student.  David said he knew the minute she walked into the office that she was The One.  He loved that she was smart and told her so, often.  Their marriage took them to Texas, where he earned his B.S. in Electrical Engineering and began another career:  Test Development Engineer for McDonald Technologies in San Antonio, TX; Senior Design Engineer for Nokia Networks, Irving, TX; Senior Software Engineer at Sirit Technologies;  Senior Digital Design Engineer at EF Johnson Technologies; and Senior Engineer at Eltek Valere.  He currently worked for Flextronics as a Senior Firmware Engineer. Services will be Saturday, 14 January, at his parish:  Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, 11122 Midway Road, Dallas TX.  Reception will follow in the Parish Hall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the church or to Friends of Scouting. David will always be remembered for his mischievous smile and ongoing jokes. His love for his family will truly be missed and there will always be a void in our hearts. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

    Dave, I can’t believe that you’ve left. You were a damn good engineer and will be sorely missed. God speed and I hope to see you again some day.

    You were my funny uncle my whole life who made me laugh, but I feel like I never knew what a counselor, leader and elf you were until your death. I will be forever sorry that the roads from Maine to Texas were so far apart and I didn’t tell you what an awesome dad you were for my cousin. I wish I could turn back time. My heart is broken. Please forgive me. Love you Uncle David. XO

    Those of us who were in band with Dave at Astronaut knew what a talented drummer he was. Dave was an intelligent, friendly, and well rounded person. Thanks to you Dave for all that you’ve done to touch the lives of others. May your family know that God’s strength and guidance will be with them always.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
