John Franklin Webster affectionately called “Frank” by family and friends, was born January 4, 1960, to the late Deacon Richard E. Webster and the late Bishop Marva W. Lane. Frank transitioned on Friday, December 31, 2021.
Frank graduated from Madison Mayodan High School in 1978. Upon graduation, he enlisted into the United States Navy. He proudly served as an Aircraft Systems Technician, aboard the USS Independence, Norfolk, Virginia. After six years of service, he was honorably discharged.
Upon the conclusion of serving his country honorably, he was gainfully employed with Northrop Grumman in Dallas, Texas. Frank was adventurous and was a visionary and with an unyielding zeal. He explored entrepreneurship by starting a small telecommunications company, Premier Plus. He ran this company for several years. At the time of his passing, he was employed by the Veteran’s Hospital in Houston, Texas.
Frank loved to ride motorcycles and drive sports cars. The Webster Family has many memories of his adventures and dare devil actions. Most of those actions, caused his mother to pray earnestly for him. She would often tell everyone, “Frank would try anything and all of it without fear.” He had an uncanny ability to connect with people and was known for his generosity. Frank never met a stranger and could enter a room full of people, he would leave that same room with a dozen new friends. His brothers have precious memories of their yearly trips to Dallas with their father. Visiting the Dallas Cowboy Stadium was one of the highlights of their trip.
Frank was also preceded by his eldest brother, Leroy Webster, paternal grandparents; Roy Lee and Sallie Hairston Webster; maternal grandparents; Frank and Annie Wallington.
Frank’s remaining family includes: his daughter; Brianna Lazar of Tavaeves, FL, brothers; Elder Perry L. Webster (Toni) of Stoneville, NC, S. Fitzgerald Webster of Richmond, VA, niece; Marvah Webster, two nephews; Payton Webster and Caleb Webster, many other relatives and friends who will miss Frank’s presence in their lives.
