Leon Duane Webster of Geneva, Alabama passed away on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at Flowers Hospital in Dothan, Alabama. He was 70 years old.

Duane was born on September 30, 1955, to the late Thomas and Jerldeen Webster. He was a good father who, alongside Lynne, raised their children together. Duane shared a deep love with Lynne—wherever he was, she was often by his side, a testament to the joy they found in one another’s company. He especially adored his grandchildren.

In his younger years, Duane enjoyed playing softball and carried that same energy and passion into a lifelong love of the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting and fishing. A gifted mechanic, Duane had a remarkable ability to fix just about anything, often lending a helping hand to neighbors and friends. He was especially known for repairing lawnmowers, rarely asking for much in return.

Duane was a kind and dependable man, a good neighbor, and a loyal friend. He also held a special place in his heart for his beloved dog, Bojangles. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his brother, Dural Webster.

Survivors include his wife of almost 40 years, Lynne Webster of Geneva; 5 children, Leon Webster of Geneva, Kim King (Freddie) of Hartford, Eric Webster of Geneva, Jonathan Adams of Geneva, and Amy Pettis (Jason) of Geneva; siblings, Herbert “Henry” Webster, Dwight Webster, and Ruth Brown; grandchildren, Brandy, Justin, Austin, Chesley, Jr., Makayla, David, Dakota, Jimmy, and Paige; along with several great grandchildren.
