Johnny Edwin Webber, 94, passed away peacefully at his home in Shelby on June 21, 2025. He was born on May 1, 1931, in Cherokee County, the son of the late Ralph F. Webber and Willie Jones Webber.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Elisie Glenn (Horace); his brothers, Furman Webber (Louise) and Bill Webber; and his brother-in-law, Roger Crowe.

He is survived by his loving wife of 74 years, Dorothy; two sons, Eddie Webber (Jill) of Shelby and Scott Webber (Lynda) of Gaffney; his sister, Rachael Crowe; sister-in-law, Donna Webber; two grandchildren, Ashley Hedden (Steven) and Cary Morrow (Tripp); and two great-grandchildren, Rhett and Evie.
