Ron Webb, 82, passed away peacefully into the arms of his Heavenly Father on October 23, 2025. He was born in Washington, IN on February 22,1943 to Charles and Dorothy Webb. The family moved to Sacramento, CA in 1950 where he grew up.
He graduated from C.K. McClatchy Senior High School in 1960, received his A.A. at Sacramento City College and his Bachelor of Science in Management from Golden Gate University in 1976.
Ron served his country in the United States Army for 4 years (1965-1969) and was a proud Vietnam Veteran.
He met Pat at Sacramento City College while working together in student government. Upon his return from Vietnam, they were married on October 18, 1969, and recently celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary.
After a 20+ year career working in the banking industry, he turned his love of travel into a second career, graduating from the International Tour Management Institute in 1991 and became the ultimate tour director, discovering and learning new things while traveling to all 50 states and around the world. He had a unique way of connecting with people and making them feel special.
Ron was an active member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Hot Springs, AR and St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Sacramento, CA. You could always find him filling leadership positions and helping with numerous events from food banks to fireworks booths.
He was an avid reader, loved jigsaw puzzles, and eating ice cream (especially Vanilla!).

Very saddened to hear the news about Ron's passing, I wondered why his name suddenly dropped off the last update list of expected attendees for the recent 65th reunion luncheon, he had told me last spring he planned to attend and we looked forward to seeing each other again (I ended up not being able to attend the luncheon either as it turned out). Ron was one of my best friends thru junior high at Joaquin Miller and McClatchy. He lived near me in the Hollywood Park neighborhood. I can't remember now whether we were in grade school together at Ethel Phillips Elementary School near Franklin Blvd and Fruitridge Rd but I think not. Ron did not attend any of the McClatchy reunions but out of the blue he contacted me about 10 years ago, he lived in Elk Grove, like me he was a fan of vegetarian/vegan food and we got together a number times for lunch in the Elk Grove/Folsom areas. Ron was still the quiet but friendly, smart, funny guy I remembered from our school days. I was surprised about 4-5 years ago when he told me he and his wife were moving back to his ancestral area of Arkansas, we had one final lunch but remained in occasional touch via email. He never mentioned anything about health issues. Ron is always one of the people that pop into my head when I think of my childhood days, I'll miss him. Godspeed, Ron.
