BRENHAM POLICE CPL. DAVID WEBB LOSES BATTLE WITH CANCER
A member of the Brenham Police Department has died after a battle with Cancer.
Cpl. David Webb died over the weekend, he was 55.
Webb, a native of Gainsville, Florida, was the department’s Resource Officer at the Brenham Junior High School, and was very popular with the students, faculty and fellow officers.
He had been with the Brenham Department for five years after leaving the Prairie View Police Department.
Brenham P.D.’s Captain of Patrol Operations, Trey Gully, issued the following statement Monday morning:
"We are very saddened by the passing of Cpl. David Webb and we are struggling through this as any other family would be. David was and will always remain our “brother in blue”. For the five years that David was in our lives, he constantly displayed compassion, love, forgiveness, and mentorship through his actions. We all hear stories about how great someone was once they have passed on, but I say from the deepest place in my soul that David was one of the most amazing men I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with. David had this natural gleam about him and could bring a smile into any room or situation. His “good mornings” to us were so heartfelt and honest. He worked and built his reputation on his Christian values and would share when asked. His patience was second to none, especially with his “little angels”, his Jr. High students. He knew a way to love everyone The Brenham police department, The Brenham Independent School District, and the entire community of Brenham have lost a true hero and an amazing mentor. We will forever cherish the time we had with David, best known as “Mr. Webb”. We say to Mr. Webb, “we love you, and we miss you. We will hold the line from here. Until we see you again, God Bless you, you’ve earned your rest”. We call your “10-7, 10-42” (out of service, off duty)…."
Funeral services for Corporal David Webb are pending, and will be announced as soon as they are finalized.
I met David in high school and knew him to be kind, smart and charming. His smile really did light up a room. Life is precious and unpredictable. It’s important to live, laugh and love as much as we can. David did.
Rest well, friend.
Rest in Peace Corporal Webb!!! Met him as a instructor at the Washinghton County Citizens on Patrol, never got to really work with him on the Job. I learned a lot from Corporal Webb and I realize how much he will be missed by his Family and the members of the Brenham Police Deartment Family also. When you have walked in his shoes and done some of what he did as his Career Choice as my daddy (Houston Police Department) did and I did as a Houston Fire Department Firefighter/Paramedic for 31 years then and only then you will realize what a true loss this is to everyone who was ever associated with Corporal Webb.
Officer webb was the kindest people i knew, and it’s sad he is gone.May you find peace god bless your family
As a substitute for BISD Officer Webb will sadly and tremendously missed. I will missed the ” Good mornings” he would say to me upon arriving at the Junior High. I would always respond back, then he would tell me have a great day and if you happen to need me you know who to call. I will be there to help you out. RIP Corporal Webb you will not be suffering anymore. God puts another angel above to watch over us.condolrnces to his family.
Always a kind word, wave and smile…if you didn’t know you wouldn’t know that he was battling with this. My kid and all kids that has had the pleasure of knowing him feels this loss. A wonderful man, a comforting soul with a job well done. To see the words “off duty” makes this so surreal. Sincere prayers and condolences to his family and family in blue.
Dear Brenham police department I just want to say officer Webb was the best police I have ever met and NOBODY can replace him. I do have respect for all officer, but he was like a dad to me and my friend Lilah and I both love him as if he was our own father .I use to give him hugs every day he will always be in my heart.??
My heart is broken beyond words !
My condolences to his loved ones and law enforcement family. I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Cpl. Webb, but he obviously made a tremendous impact on the youth of this community and will be greatly missed.
My prayers goes out to the family. You and I was on the same football team in high school we played against each other in college I have a lot of respect for you. the work that you done it’s going to speak for you we love you
As a substitute for BISD especially the Jr Hi. I could always depend on Officer Webb to be there for me and always had (my back). Always a hug from every time I saw him. I will miss him very much. We all love you Officer Webb. You’ve more than earned your rest.
A terrible terrible loss, Officer Webb will be truly missed by us kids,staff and citizens of Brenham he was a great man and was looked up to by many , many people . RIP Officer Webb
I went all the way through public school with David and am saddened to learn of his passing. Those he met were certainly better for it. I hope his family and friends can find peace in the difficult time. He is fondly remembered.
We will miss you Officer Webb. You were my favorite officer because you were always nice and caring,but now you are in a better place.We all love you Officer Webb❤
Officer Webb is truly going to be missed he was my #1 go to and I am going to miss his heartwarming conversations and his high fives. It was great having him on our campus and I will really miss seeing him in the morning.Brenham Junior High will really miss you. Now you can watch over us and protect us like you always did. Your in a good place now. I will truly miss you Officer Webb❤ From: your little angel Lilah?
Officer Webb was one of the most nicest and modest men you could have ever met, it is sad to know he will no longer be with us. I give my condolences to his family, friends and coworkers. He was a sweet man who God called home too soon. BJHS will miss him, “his angels” we will always remember him calling us, but he is truly the angel now, Rest In Peace Officer Webb, we’ll miss you.
I am a student to Brenham Junior High and I want to say I cared for Officer Webb deeply. Everyday of every morning he was at the school, I’d be greeted with a smile, a hug, and a “Hey there, Angel.” For the year and a half I’ve been at this school, Officer Webb was there to be my friend, and I am forever grateful. I’ve seen many police officers take care of schools over a few years, but never before had I seen someone do it as happily as Officer Webb.
One time, last year, I had lost my glasses and freaked out. I brought my situation to Officer Webb and he gladly helped me out.
Without a doubt, I’m going to miss my friend.
I promise I’ll try not to be disheartened by his loss, because I know he wouldn’t want any of us to be sad. This is not his final goodbye, because he takes a special place in all of our hearts, friend or not.
Officer Webb was one of the biggest sweethearts I have ever known. If there was ever anybody I could have went to talk to, he was definitely my go to. I never thought this day would come, but at least he’s up in heaven now watching over his “little angels”(Junior High students). He will forever be missed and never forgotten.
David Webb was and IS one in a million. I just read about hiss passing from a Facebook posting an hour ago. This is going to take a while to sink in. I manage to get his home phone number from a mutual friend and spoke to him just before Christmas. We laughed and reminenced about old times and how the different turns our lives had taken. Him a law enforcement officer and me a minister. I was counting on having more talks with my brother in Christ but the LORD had stepped in and said time to come home. To all that were blessed to know him, he was a true gift from GOD. I pray GOD’S peace and comfort on all who knew him. It also my hope he left the world a little better than when he first got here.
So sorry for the loss of another great person. R.I.P. and sending prayers for the family and friends also the classmates of 1980
Beautifully written. I have known him since 2nd grade and I am honored to call him my best friend. The world is a much darker place without his smile, his laughter and his MLK impersonation. Rest in Heaven my friend.
We love you Officer Webb and always will You would always say good morning or hello angel or hey Patriot i will truly miss you. I hope I get to see you one day. Fly high Officer Web
Brenham has lost a great man, who was truly loved by everyone who met him. God rest Office Webb.
The Lord has called our friend home. Mr. Webb is an exceptional man, and he will be sorely missed. I am thankful to have known him. Mr. Webb, – you were a blessing to many!
Trey, I don’t think anyone can say those kind words from the heart any better! We can all agree that Mr. Webb could never be replaced but we can and should follow his footsteps in becoming better in all we do. I’m so thankful I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Webb through my daughters years at B.J.H.S. He was truly a special mentor for our kids!
R.I.P. my friend, R. Beaudet
Corp. Webb was truly a good man. He has left a lasting legacy through the many lives that he has touched as the school resource officer at BJHS. His glowing smile, kind word and love for the students, faculty and staff was apparent. Rest well sweet Officer Webb knowing that you have made an impact on countless lives in Brenham. We love you.
He will be missed . He had a contagious smile and attitude. We love you and will truly be missed !!!!!
Officer Webb never met a child that was unlovable. He found a way to work with each and every student at the Junior High and for that I will always remember him. Most minority students have been taught mistrust for police in general but they honestly loved Officer Webb and valued his opinion of them. He was a genuine person with a beautiful smile. It will never be the same coming down Blue Bell Road and not seeing him directing traffic on school mornings.
What a great man. He will truly be missed.
He brought so much happiness to so many people. It’s so heartbreaking imagining the world without his smile. My prayers especially to his family, who’ve lost such a good man. You’ll be missed Mr. Webb.
