Obituary

Paul M. Webb, 94, passed away peacefully at home on February 12, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Salisbury, North Carolina on October 17, 1931, and was the beloved son of the late Charles Lee and Rose (Honbarger) Webb.

A devoted family man, Paul was a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather, and uncle.

Nothing was more important to Paul than his faith in God, and that carried him through all of life's storms. He loved singing the old hymns in his beautiful bass voice, and he kept singing until just days before God called him home.

Paul served his country with honor as a Corporal in the United States Army from October 20, 1952 to October 19, 1954. His time in the service was marked by dedication and responsibility, reflecting the strong values instilled in him throughout his life.

On August 21, 1954 he married the love of his life and best friend, June Eling, spending 71 wonderful and memorable years together.

Paul worked as a Biological Technician for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for 30 years. After retirement, he worked for the Soo Locks Boat Tours as narrator and linesman, and then served others by delivering Meals on Wheels in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

In addition to his parents, Paul is preceded in death by his brothers: Charles and Thomas; sisters: Alma and Anne. Paul is survived by his loving wife, June; son Steven (Rebecca) Webb; daughters: Jean (Hugh) Betz and Amy (Joseph) Bleicher; grandchildren: Zachary (Caryn) Bleicher, Nicholas Bleicher, Madeline Webb, Kiah (Tony) Green, and Lydia (Jacob) Harris; and his many nieces and nephews. Paul's legacy lives on through the family he cherished and the many lives he touched over the years.

In keeping with Paul's wishes, he will be laid to rest at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, Michigan, with military honors under the auspices of the United States Army. Please share your thoughts with the family through www.deislerfuneralhome.com 

The family wants to thank the wonderful, caring staff at Heartland Hospice for all they did for Paul. The family asks that any memorial donations be made to Heartland Hospice, 1320 Waldo Ave., Suite 300, Midland, Michigan, 48642. In lieu of a service, please honor Paul's memory and take a moment to do something kind for someone, just as Paul would have done.

Paul and Irma's loving acceptance of strangers (Valerio and I) has set a great example for me. Deepest sympathy for your loss. Amazing gratitude for all they have given.

Thank you Dad for your Christian example and guidance through life. I could not have asked for a better Dad. I have so many great memories of how I grew up, such great and unique experiences. I think we really took advantage of everything that the Upper Peninsula had to offer a family. I remember the bicycle rides, fast corners on the go-cart that you made, riding motorcycles and snowmobiles on the trails through the woods, the hot chocolate as the only thing that could keep you warm at the I-500 snowmobile race, boating on Lake Superior in the folbot that you built from a kit, fishing and hunting (I never got anything), racing slot cars under the house in the crawlspace after going down through the trap door, having fish aquariums, hamsters, and watching you make a splint for an injured owl's wing and keeping him until he could fly again, and so many other things. The talks and laughs that went along with all of these things left an imprint on me. I miss you and I'll miss our conversations and the chance to ask your opinion on things. But I think you gave me the best and only advice that really matters, advice that applies to all of my future questions, when you lifted your hand and pointed to heaven as you went to be with Jesus. Thank you.

These things come to mind when remembering "Dad": - His delight in his grandchildren - His steadfast faithfulness to his wife and family - Hearing stories of his growing up days (having Scarlet Fever and being quarantined in his room with the only working radio in the house; his Algebra teacher) - His clever resourcefulness to solve practical problems, a skill which he passed on to his son - He would eat most anything but definitely not raspberries! - Sitting around various tables together at family gatherings - My "birthday buddy" - His faith being summed up in this verse: The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. (Psalm 147:11)
