In Loving Memory of Ronald George Webster
April 23, 1941 – July 27, 2026

Ronald George Webster was born on April 23, 1941, in Tacoma, Washington, to Lois Freudenstein-Webster and Truman Russell Webster. He began his journey home on July 27, 2026.

Ron moved with his family to Southern California before settling in Klamath, Calif. in 1958, where he grew up making memories with his brothers. They were always outside, getting into a little mischief and enjoying every adventure they could find.

Ron loved the outdoors. Whether he was camping, fishing, hunting, or cruising the mountains, that’s where he was happiest. One of his favorite stories was coming home with four elk after a hunt. He worked as a woodsman and later for BART in San Francisco. He loved concerts, especially AC/DC and Bob Seger, and had a passion for gardening and growing things.

Ron shared 37 wonderful years with the love of his life, Debra Carpenter-Webster. He took great pride in his yard and garden, loved road trips, especially to Montana, and never missed a chance to visit friends or make new ones. He stayed close with his good friend Jeff in Florida, always texting and sharing pictures.

Even in his later years, Ron kept busy taking care of fish and deer, making nets, and working on whatever project came next. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family.

Ron lived life his way, always busy, always outdoors and always making the most of every day. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him.

Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Lois and Russell Webster; his mother-in-law, Susanne Little; his children, Janet and Albert Webster; his brothers-in-law, Duane Carpenter, Albert (Silvia) Carpenter, Richard Carpenter and Charles Carpenter; his nephew, Dale Webster; and his good friends Don Natt, Jerry McCovey and Walt McCovey.

He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Debra Carpenter-Webster; his siblings, Jerry (Sandy), Ben (Myra) and Barbara Webster, Susie (Glen) Sanchez, Shelly Carpenter, Tonya (Eldon) Yazzie and Bruz (Mary Jane) Aubrey; his children, Tina Webster and Ticmil (Tabitha) Ashley; his grandchildren, Thomas and Peter (Rebecca) Marceau, Ronald Thomas “RT” Jones, Tasha (Latrell) James, Cassandra (Chaygee) Charles, Michael Wamblee (Tearnie), Amos, Kalvin and Iola Tsisnah Ashley; his good friends Duane and William Proctor, George Smoker, Artie Jones, John and Alice Chenault, Matt Douglas, Ricky Nova, Nancy and Ron Lake, George Wilson, Curt Dempewolf, Fred Tuttle, Jade Reyes, Howard “Ducky,” Marty Barber Sr. and Marty Barber Jr., Christina Phillips, Craig Super, Sean “snack” O’Neil and Corky Simms; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.

Please forgive us if we have missed anyone. Ron had a big heart, and there were so many people he cared about throughout his life.

A viewing will be held on Monday, August 3, at 10 a.m. at Ayres Family Cremation in Eureka.

Following Ron’s wishes, his ashes will be spread alongside his parents at Blue Creek. Family and friends who wish to join are invited to meet at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, August 4, at the boat dock in Klamath. Seating on the boats will be limited to family members, but anyone with a boat who would like to travel with the family is warmly welcome to do so.

Afterward, please join the family for a potluck reception at 1 p.m. at the Keehl Community Room, 111 Huckleberry Lane, Klamath Glen. Please bring your favorite dish, your memories and your stories of Ron to share as we celebrate a life well lived.
