Billy Gene Webb Sr. was born October 1, 1947 in Washington County, NC to the late Ruth Bell Webb, and raised together with his stepfather the late JD Allen Patrick.
Billy was a sheet metal mechanic by trade until he retired from James A. Kiley Co. after over thirty years of continuous service. He was also a self-taught auto mechanic and spent decades fixing the vehicles of friends and loved ones until back pains made it too challenging to continue.
Prior to his life-altering accident in fall 2022, you could find him “playing the numbers” or at the Craps table at Encore and other area casinos.
Billy always had a smile on his face and a generous spirit, always willing to help a friend in need, and at times, even complete strangers.
Billy is survived by his children Billy Gene Webb Jr. (MA), LaNitra Smita Webb (CA), Darryl Curtis Webb (MA), and Shawn Michael Webb (MA); his grandson John Michael Webb (MA); his siblings Sarah Daniels (NY), Deola Wallace (NC), Clintoria Swain (NC), John “Buddy” Patrick (NC); former spouse Shirley Jean Webb (MA); girlfriend Janice Faye Williams (MA); two grandkitties, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and other loved ones.
Previously married for thirty years to Shirley Jean Howell, friends from childhood, he was an unofficial member of the Howell family and leaves behind several loving sisters- and brothers-in-law.
Billy was preceded in death by his biological father; his brothers Joe Louis Webb and David Earl Webb; parents-in-law Willie Howell and Rachel Delia Rodgers; and sisters-in-law Christeen Blue, Harriet Howell, and Willie Margaret Howell Brevard.
Viewing hours will be on Tuesday December 12. 2023 from 9-10 AM followed by a Religious Service from 10-11 AM in the Joseph Russo Funeral Home, 814 American Legion Highway, Roslindale, Ma. Burial will be in Oak Lawn Cemetery, 427 Cummins Highway, Roslindale, Ma.
