William Dean Webb, 92, of Lakewood, Colorado passed away this past Wednesday, September 20, 2017. William, who was born July 10, 1925 and raised in Independence, Kansas, graduated from Independence High School and soon thereafter enlisted in the Army Air Corps at the age of 19, fighting in World War II in Europe as a member of a B-17 bomber crew with the 99th Bomb Group. Upon returning to the states, he graduated from the University of Kansas with a B.S. in Architecture, before returning to Independence in 1951 to marry his high school sweetheart, Patricia Harris, to whom he was happily married for 66 and ½ years until his death.
William relocated to Denver in 1960 and then to Lakewood, working for James Sudler Associates (Denver Art Museum) before William started his own, highly successful architectural firm, which he ran for 35 years before retiring in 2007. He was also an active member in several churches in the Denver area, most recently Grace Fellowship of Lakewood, as well as Kiwanis and the American Institute of Architects. He enjoyed sports, in particular golf and baseball (fan of the Cardinals and Yankees), along with traveling throughout the U.S., and being both a loving husband and a wonderful father. Most importantly, he was a deeply spiritual man, with a strong faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that permeated everything he did and influenced his relationships with others.
He is survived by his wife Patricia, sons Tom and Dan, daughter-in-law Laura, grandchildren Megan, Amy and Todd (father Tom and mother Laura), and great-grandchildren Riley and Josie (mother Amy and father Ryan). He was preceded in death by his father Glen and mother Mary, and his brothers Clarence, Dick and Jerry.
