Wayne “Hoss” Webb, age 82, resident of Phenix City, Alabama, passed away on Sunday, March 29, 2020 at his residence. Private memorial services will be held at a later date.

Mr. Webb, son of the late Harry Blanchard Webb and Minnie Mae Blakeley Webb, was born November 7, 1937 in Phenix City. At the end of his Junior year at Central High School, Mr. Webb was signed by the Detroit Tiger organization, where he played semi-professional baseball, later finishing his high school degree. He then joined the military, serving his country honorably in the U.S. Army. After his military service, Mr. Webb began a career with Georgia Power as a lineman, faithfully working for many years until his retirement.

For many years, Mr. Webb coached Dixie Youth Baseball and was a role model for many young players. Mr. Webb had a strong passion for both hunting and fishing, but his strongest love was his family. He was a member of Golden Acres Baptist Church, an avid Alabama football fan; enjoyed spending time working in his yard; and was known to be a protector of family and friends. His family remembers him as a loyal friend, hardworking honest man, with a big heart.

Other than his parents, Mr. Webb was preceded in death by a brother, William Blanchard Webb and a sister, Linda Webb Venable. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Annell M. Webb of Phenix City; daughter, Tracy Webb Kash and her husband Steve of Phenix City; son, Russ Patrick Webb and his wife Leigh of Salem, Alabama; brother, James David Webb and his wife Jenny of Panama City Beach, Florida; four grandchildren, Jenna Kash Allen and her husband Ian of Phenix City, Cameron Michael Kash of Smiths, Alabama, Hunter Patrick Webb of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and Kathryn “Katie” Leigh Webb of Salem; two great-grandchildren, Addison Reese Allen and Avery Grayson Allen; nieces; nephews; “McDonald’s Breakfast Buddies;” and other friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be made to Golden Acres Baptist Church, Attn: Building Fund, 3405 South Railroad Street, Phenix City, Alabama 36867 or Columbus Hospice at www.columbushospice.com.

Annell I'm am sorry for your loss of Hoss , we were good friends for many yearsВ

Annell, I will always recall my summer jobs each of the four summers I spent as an Auburn student. I worked with Georgia Power's network underground crew at Gentian Blvd. while Wayne was a high-line journeyman lineman on Mr. Pete's Transmission Crew. Wayne always wore his high calf climbing boots with rolled-up jeans. His happy nature, laugh, and wit were contagious in the Line-Shack. Good memories of a Good fellow...Sympathies,В Bill Blau

Praying for all the family in the loss of Mr. Webb. He was very instrumental in passing along the love of baseball and the morals of life itself to me. Always had high respect for him and all the family. Thanks Mr. Webb for the time invested in me.

Annell, Tracy and Russ, I'm so sorry for your loss. Even though Hoss was about 10 years older than me, I remember seeing him play baseball a few times when Mom and Dad took me up to Darnell Field. He was really a great player and boy did he love to play the game. I think it inspired me to play a little.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I thinking of everyone during this trying time, with only good thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
