Rujelio Webber

​Growing up in East Dallas wasn't easy, and his early years brought their share of hardship. He met those challenges with undeniable strength, graduating from North Dallas High School and walking away with the great pride and sharp edge that later flowed straight into his artwork, proving the grit and determination that would define the rest of his life.

​He was far from an angel and he certainly wasn't soft, but he was as real as they come. Patience was never his style—he was driven, adventurous, and lived life with intense focus. Yet behind that tough, unapologetic exterior was a hardworking, wise, and deeply compassionate man. As a tattoo artist, he transformed life's raw stories into living art. He wore his rough edges with pride, loved fiercely in his own way, and left a permanent mark on everyone who knew him—on the skin of everyone he inked, and through the murals and creative projects he poured his heart into for friends and family.

​He was a complex man who lived a complex life. Though circumstances and strained relationships kept him apart from his children at times, his heart never lost its connection to them. He carried immense pride for each of his five children, and his family holds onto the hope, grace, and love that survived through every trial. His humor, generous spirit, and selfless heart will be deeply missed by all who truly knew him.

​His memory will be forever kept alive by his wife, Yesica Aleman Webber; his five children, Roger Thomas Webber, Reese Webber, Rujelio Gambinino Webber, Raquel Leah Webber, and Ralphie John Webber; his two step children, Arlene Aleman and Jayden Aleman; and his sister, Cynthia Garza, who shared the unique bond of growing up just a year apart. He is also cherished by his nieces and nephews: J. Pablo Flores Garza, Victoria Flores Garza, Gustavo Montano Garza, Josephine Mata Garza, Edgar Gonzalez, Ezequiel Mata Garza, and Tristan Mata Garza, along with both of his grandchildren, Rosalie Jade Webber and Elena Juarez Aleman. Though he passed so early in life, his strength, his art, and his legacy will remain with us forever.

​"Que no haya silencio en mi partida; que haya música, memoria y amor. Porque mientras me recuerden cantando, nunca me habré ido del todo."

​With deepest gratitude,

​The family wishes to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who surrounded us with love during this difficult time. To those who visited us at the hospital, brought meals and drinks to sustain us, offered prayers, and contributed so generously toward his final services—your kindness and support will never be forgotten. Seeing the community come together for him and our family has brought us comfort beyond measure.
