Henry Lee (‘Brother’) Webb was born July 12, 1940, to Emmitt Webb and Mary Dent Webb in the small community of Lettsworth, Louisiana, in Pointe Coupee Parish. He was fondly known as Bro. Webb to all who knew him.

On January 27, 1962, he married Eloise Davis, and to this union one child, Shirley Webb Armstrong was born. Bro. Webb was baptized in 1975 by Rev. Ernest Lea, Sr. at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. He was an active member at St. John Baptist Church in Lettsworth, LA, a member of the Deacon Board, a Sunday School teacher for many years, and a groundskeeper of the church. Bro. Webb attended Torres Community School and was extremely proud of the education he received.

He worked in farming and construction until his employment with the Atchafalaya Levee Board. His employment with the Levee Board spanned 25½ years until his retirement in 2002. His hobbies included hunting, fishing, gardening, and yard work. He loved cookouts and family gatherings. He was the family historian who could remember everyone and their families in detail. He truly loved his church family and had a pastor in every town.
