Alan Richard Webster, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, was called home to be with the Lord on November 29, 2025, at the age of 84.
Born in Cortland, New York, on March 11, 1941, Alan spent his final moments at home surrounded by love in Bradenton, Florida, where he peacefully passed away due to natural causes.
Alan's life was a testament to his unwavering faith and the love he had for his family. He leaves behind his beloved wife of over 60 years, Patricia Webster, who was his partner in life and in faith. Together, they nurtured a family that includes their son Jeffrey Webster, their daughter Anne Marie Koelbel, and their adored grandchildren Niña Mae, Moya, Harllee, Dallas, Tatsiana, and Jacob. His legacy continued to grow with the arrival of his great-grandbabies, Nico and Adeline, who brought him immense joy in his later years. After completing his education at Michigan Technological University, Alan dedicated 32 years to a fulfilling career with the State of Michigan.
His commitment to his profession and the natural world was evident to all who worked alongside him. He was a man of the earth, finding solace in the forests he helped preserve and protect. Alan's Catholic faith was the cornerstone of his life.
It guided his actions and provided comfort and strength through the trials and tribulations of life. He was a humble servant of God, always ready to lend a hand or offer a prayer.
His gentle spirit and kindness left a lasting impact on his community and everyone he met. Among his many passions, Alan loved fishing. He was also a talented cook, often sharing his delicious meals with family and friends. His adventurous spirit led him to take many trips with Patricia, creating a tapestry of memories that will be cherished forever.
Alan's life was a beautiful reflection of his values: love for his family, dedication to his work, and an unwavering faith in God. As we say goodbye to this remarkable man, we take solace in the knowledge that he is at peace with his Creator. Alan's spirit will live on through the stories shared, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave so freely. He ran the race, he kept the faith, and now he has received the crown of righteousness laid up for him in Heaven. We will hold him in our hearts until we meet again.
