Richard Keith Webb

Richard Keith Webb Sr.

A man by many names The man the myth the legend “Big Sexy,” “The Bull,” “The Missing Link,” and his personal favorite “PawPaw.”

February 8, 1968 – May 24, 2025

Richard Keith Webb Sr., age 57, of Dallas, Texas, passed away on May 24, 2025, leaving behind a legacy that can’t be summed up in mere words, but we’ll damn well try.

Born in Dallas, Texas, on February 8, 1968, Richard lived life loud, rebelliously and proud. He was a skilled operator, concrete worker and journeyman lineman by trade and a force of nature in personality.

He graduated from West Mesquite High School in 1986. He lived for raising hell, telling stories of his life and the lessons he learned at the university of hard knocks, where he received his masters. He loved to hunt, fish, and, above all, spending time with his children, grandchildren, family, and friends. He was the kind of man who left an impression, dents and a few scars everywhere he went.

Richard is survived by his mother, Patricia Henderson; his father, Jacky Webb Sr., and stepmother, Laura; his siblings Jacky Webb Jr. (and wife Crystal), Robert Bryan Webb (and wife Chas), Shae Buchanan (and husband Steve), Michele Newton (and husband Brent), Tammy Maldonado (and husband Rick); his sister-in-law Melinda Ortiz; and his brother Paul Werner (and wife Margaret).

He leaves behind a legacy of love and chaos in the best possible way through his children and grandchildren: Daughters- Brandi Carpenter, Sarah O’rourke, and Ashlee Smith; sons- Richard Keith Webb Jr. and Chance Webb. He was a proud grandfather to Tyler, Trinitee, Jaylee, Harlee, Ava, Amelia, Ryleigh, and Winter. He also leaves behind a multitude of cherished nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, extended family, and friends.

He was joyfully greeted in Heaven by his grandparents Edna and Henry Webb, Orland Henderson, Jessie and Kenneth Gibson; his uncle Richard McCulley, for whom he was named; his mother-in-law Carrell Dunston; brother-in-law David Davis; and nephews Little Jacky and Adrian Ortiz.

Richard believed in living life with his shoulders squared, head high, full throttle and without brakes. Hunter S. Thompson once said, “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ’Wow! What a Ride!’” and Richard embodied every damn day.

Rest easy, Big Sexy. The ride was legendary.

A special thank you to his Aunt Rita McCulley for the donation of a family plot for Richard’s final resting spot, and to the numerous contributors who made his farewell possible.
