Robert E.
"Rob" Webster Iii
Jul 28, 1973 — Nov 3, 2025
Robert E. "Rob" Webster III was a father, son, brother, uncle, friend, coach, and an advocate. He touched lives wherever he went, bringing joy, laughter, and compassion to people from all walks of life.
Rob had a gift for connection. His open arms and open heart welcomed everyone. Whether on the basketball court or in everyday life, he led with kindness and strength, always ready to listen, encourage, and uplift. As a coach, he inspired his players not only to be better athletes but to be better people. As an advocate, he stood up for what was right, making a difference in ways big and small.
Everyone Rob touched will forever carry a piece of his spirit. His memory will live on through the countless hearts he influenced and the love he gave so freely.
Rob is survived by his beloved children, Brenden, Isaiah, Elena, and Zahira; his devoted mother, Bernadette; and his loving sisters, Tonja and Hazel. He will also be deeply missed by a host of family, friends, teammates, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
Though he is gone too soon, Rob's love, laughter, and generosity will live on.
