Rev. Doyle "Andy" Anthony Webb

Doyle "Andy" Anthony Webb, 63, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, passed away on August 9, 2021. Andy was born on September 20, 1957, to Betty Jo and Doyle Marcellus Webb in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Three years later, his family relocated to Kentucky and built a dairy farm in Pottertown, Kentucky. Andy excelled in 4H and graduated with honors from Calloway County High School in Murray, Kentucky. When Andy was eighteen, he moved back to Oklahoma and bought his first truck and trailer to become a long-haul trucker, hauling watermelons, potatoes, chickens, grains, and cattle cross-country. In 1978, Andy met the love of his life, Janet Leigh, at the Muskogee State Fair. Andy and Janet married eight months later, on April 5, 1979, at First Baptist Church in Muskogee, Oklahoma. For the next few years, Janet joined Andy on many trucking journeys, traveling to Colorado, South Texas, Florida, Louisiana, New Mexico, Idaho, California, Oregon, and Minnesota. Andy gave his life to Jesus in October of 1982, which began a life-long commitment of service to Christ. Shortly after that, Andy and Janet joined Eastern Heights Baptist Church in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and became active church members. Andy faithfully served for almost ten years as a Sunday School teacher for married couples. His first daughter, Kristen, was born on December 22, 1984. Shelby, his second-born daughter, was born on November 5, 1986. His youngest, a son, Andrew, was born on June 9, 1990. Three years later, in 1993, Andy surrendered to the ministry. In 2002, he became a bi-vocational pastor of Green Valley Baptist Church in Webbers Falls, Oklahoma. Six years later, he served as pastor at Lawrence Street Baptist Church in Muskogee, then South Ridge Baptist Church in Fort Gibson. In August of 2014, Andy returned to Green Valley Baptist Church as pastor. Andy's "day job" was a heavy equipment mechanic. He loved to work on bulldozers, skid steers, and forklifts, which gave him a chance to foster his childhood fascination with tinkering on machines, and an excellent excuse to build an impressive collection of tools. Andy leaves his family and many friends with so many memories, funny stories, his famous "one-liners," and an unwavering devotion to the gospel of Jesus. He never shied away from a challenge, never backed down, and worked hard to provide for his family. He loved to laugh and spend time with his four grandchildren: Amelia, Chloe, Hugh, and Graham. He also loved to proclaim the love of Jesus and work side-by-side with his church family, overseeing an ongoing building project that has expanded the church's footprint and ministry to the community. Andy went to heaven to be with his Lord and Savior on August 9, 2021. Andy's legacy of love, honesty, hard work, and devotion to Jesus will live on with everyone that knew and loved him. Andy is survived by his wife, Janet; his three children: Kristen Wright, her husband Jacob, and their son Hugh, of Oklahoma City; Shelby Perry, her husband Justin, and their two daughters, Amelia and Chloe, of Muskogee; Andrew Webb, his wife Christen and their son Graham, of Tulsa; his mother-in-law Evelyn McConnell of Glenpool; his sister Marcia Morris and husband Ricky, of Mayfield, Kentucky; his brother Pat Webb and wife Candy Webb of Murray, Kentucky; his sister Lori Scott, her husband David, and son Hunter, of Mayfield, Kentucky; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Doyle Marcellus Webb; his mother, Betty Jo Epple Webb; his father-in-law, Hershel McConnell, and his nephew Jacob Scott. Open visitation will be at Cornerstone Funeral Home, 1830 N York St, Muskogee, OK 74403, on August 12, 2021, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Andy will be remembered at a Celebration of Life service at Green Valley Baptist Church in Webbers Falls, Oklahoma, on Friday, August 13, 2021, at 1 p.m. Rev.
