Thomas Jeffery Webb, 78, lost his battle with cancer on March 9, 2022, in Kiowa, CO. He was born June 25, 1943, in Janesville, WI, the son of Arthur and Elsie (Oakes) Webb. He graduated from Marshall High School in 1961. Tom served in the Army until 1969, attaining the rank Staff Sargent. Tom was honored with a Bronze Star; he was very proud to serve his country. This and his sense of adventure lead him to reside in a few different states: Wisconsin, Arizona, Colorado, and finally Kansas, where he shared his love and passion for racing - he was instrumental in the start of Modlite racing. Tom loved anything to do with racing, from building the cars to chasing the checkered flag on race day. He shared this love and passion for racing with anyone and everyone he met.
He is survived by his children: Veronica Wright of Appleton, WI, Jay (Yenela) Wright of Colorado, Buffy (Kenny) Dorsey of Janesville, WI, Jody (April) Webb of Midland, MI; Brandi (Steve) Whitt of Janesville, Bill (Mindi) Webb of Kiowa, CO, Michael Webb of Janesville, Bryan (Jamie) Webb of Janesville, Thomas Webb of Janesville; his brother, William Webb of Dayton, OH; two sisters, Barb (Ron) Whitson of Janesville and Jacquelin (Michael) Burdick of Janesville; 30 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; many nieces; nephews; cousins; and many dear friends to include Richard and Brenda Kath of Janesville, and Josh and Kaysey Kier of Oberlin, KS.
