Joseph John Webb Jr., 57, of Middletown, Delaware, passed away unexpectedly on October 14, 2026. Born on October 4, 1969, he was the son of the late Amelia K. and Joseph J. Webb.

Known as Joe, and affectionately as J.J. by his closest friends and family, he was known for his kindness, easygoing nature, and calm demeanor. He took life in stride, bringing a steady and reassuring presence to those around him.

Joe graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in criminal justice and worked briefly as a private investigator. He went on to own and operate J’s Water Ice in Oxford, Pennsylvania, and Joe Webb Distribution Inc. in Middletown, Delaware.

Joe cherished family celebrations, where he often prepared homemade pierogies, a beloved family favorite. An avid Philadelphia Eagles fan, he loved watching games with his family and was well known for his spirited Eagles chants. He played football and basketball in high school and also enjoyed time on the water, particularly boating on the river near his home.

He is survived by his wife, Tanya Nikole Webb; his daughter, Amelia Jacqueline Jane Webb; his son, Joseph John Richard Webb; his sisters, Debbie Tkacz and Donna Higgins; and their families.

Family and friends are invited to a viewing on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, from 10 to 11 a.m. at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 430 Valley Brook Road, Glen Mills, Pennsylvania. A funeral Mass will begin at 11 a.m., immediately following the viewing.

Joe will be dearly missed and remembered for his kindness, quiet strength, and the warmth he shared with family and friends.
