Nathan Stauffer Webb

Nathan Stauffer Webb was born March7, 1975 in Dallas, Texas to Udell K and LeAnn Stauffer Webb. There came a strong impression to his mother at the time of his birth that he was an extraordinary individual. At the time of his birth his father was attending Baylor college of Dentistry in Dallas. Nathan was a very congenial child and enjoyed many friends. His experience at school and home was a happy one. Nathan was flexible, relaxed, and an uplifting force in his family. When he was ten years old, his family moved to St. George, Utah. He quickly made many new friends. When Nathan was a teenager his father bought a boat. He then asked Nathan, “Did I do the right thing?” Nathan quickly and emphatically answered, “Yes!” Nathan loved boating, water-skiing, knee-boarding, and he even learned how to water-ski on his bare feet. He also loved snow-skiing, snow-boarding, 4-wheeling, dirt-biking, kite flying, swimming, rock climbing, and many other activities. His family and friends remember him as “adventurous, funny, and fun-loving”. Academics seemed to come easily for Nathan. He enjoyed being involved with student government in high school. He graduated with honors from Pine View High School and received a scholarship to Weber State University. As a college student he tutored other students in math to help pay his expenses. At age 19, he fulfilled a successful 2 year mission to Sao Paulo, Brazil for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His missionary companions have commented about his dedication, devotion, and positive attitude. After his mission, Nathan attended the University of Utah where he majored in engineering. He worked while attending college designing trusses and paid his way. It was during this time that he met and married Marie Deon White in the Salt Lake Temple. Two beautiful children were born to them: Isaac Nathan Webb and Samantha Sue Webb. Nathan earned his Masters of engineering degree and was immediately employed in Salt Lake City as a mechanical engineer. After a short time, Nathan and his family moved to Longmont, Colorado where he accepted a new job. A home was purchased in Mead, CO. On May 27, 2008, Nathan was offered a job at Lockheed Martin. His assignment was to help design the Orion space vehicle. At the time of his death he had worked there for almost 7 ½ years. His assignment to work on Orion’s heat shield was one of his favorites. He was awarded a certificate of recognition for his efforts. Sadness enveloped Nathan when a divorce occurred between Marie and himself. Nathan later married Jennifer Macfarlane on June 26th 2011. They were sealed together for time and all eternity in the Denver Temple. Nathan became the step-father of Willow, Jennifer’s daughter. All seemed well and great happiness was enjoyed until a racquetball accident occurred when a racquetball hit his left ear and Nathan developed Tinnitus. He researched every avenue to find the best way to help himself. He found a therapy that had seemed to show some results for other people. He began therapy and was able to survive the Tinnitus the first time. Then a relapse occurred. He again used the therapy that had been proven to give the best results. This time it did not work. The Tinnitus worsened and became unbearable. If there is a hero in this story, it has to be Nathan. He fought to the end-- day after day, week after week, month after month. Many days were simply days of trying to survive until the next day. He pushed on until he could go on no longer. He died October 28, 2015. We feel the peace of Nathan and of the wonderful place that Nathan is now in. His funeral services will be held Saturday, November 7, 2015 at the Stake Center in Longmont, Colorado—address is 1721 Red Cloud Road. The viewing is at 10:00am and the funeral will begin at 11:00am. Interment will be at the Foothills Cemetery after the funeral services. Arrangements are being handled by Howe Mortuary in Longmont, CO.
