Julius O'Neal Webb Sr., known affectionately as 'Webb,' 'Dance Master,' and 'Julio' within his close circle of loved ones, was born on Tuesday, July 4, 1944, in Norfolk, Virginia, to the late Joseph Patrick and Florence Webb. He peacefully departed this life on Friday, February 2, 2024, while in the serenity o his home. His memory is celebrated by those who cherished him, and his impact resonates through the endearing nicknames that adorned his life. Preceding him in death were his son, Patrick Webb, and siblings, Sonny Webb, Doreen Capers, and Louis Webb.
From his early years, Julius embraced his faith, receiving baptism and demonstrating unwavering commitment to the Lord. His active participation in Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church, Woodland, North Carolina, showcased his selfless dedication, contributing time and talents to support the church community.
Julius completed his education at Washington County Union High School in Roper, North Carolina, and earned his bachelor’s degree from Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

A devoted educator for over three decades, Julius left an indelible mark on the communities he served in North Carolina and Greensville County, Virginia. His roles as teacher, counselor, and principal inspired generations of students to strive for excellence. Beyond the classroom, he volunteered as a wrestling coach, instilling values of perseverance and teamwork, and served as the Director of Upward Bound, tirelessly working to provide educational opportunities to underprivileged students.
Julius's enduring partnership with Geneva Webb, cultivated during their time at Elizabeth City State University, celebrated 56 years of marital bliss. Together, they were blessed with three children: Shanda, Julius Jr., and Patrick.
