For most of his career Dean devoted himself to furniture sales, a path that not only provided for his family but also forged enduring connections. This vocation allowed him to travel, a journey that was particularly meaningful as it facilitated a deepening bond with his son-in-law. Their shared experiences on the road became stories woven into the fabric of their lives, filled with laughter and camaraderie that will resonate long after his passing.
At the heart of Dean's essence was a delightful combination of sincerity and humor, a caring nature that enveloped everyone around him. Known for his major sweet tooth, he treasured Saturday mornings that began with the intoxicating aroma of coffee brewing gently beside a plate of doughnuts. Those early hours spent with his neighbors became a quilt of friendship, sewn together with stories, laughter, and shared moments of joy.
It has been said that Dean was a true football fan, his heart rooted in the pride of Oklahoma State University and the thrill of cheering on the Dallas Cowboys. His passion for football transcended mere fandom; it became a catalyst for connection, a bond solidified further by the exhilarating moments shared at his grandkids’ football games. There, amidst the cheers and the vibrant spirit of competition, he radiated pride, offering unwavering support to the young athletes who carried his hopes and dreams on their shoulders.
In each interaction, Dean embodied the qualities that made him unforgettable: his caring demeanor, his penchant for humor, and a sweetness that shone like a guiding star in the lives of his loved ones. As we gather to remember Harold Dean Webber, we celebrate not just his life but the indelible marks he left upon each of us, cherishing the moments, however simple, that made the world infinitely brighter. His legacy, filled with the essence of love and laughter, will forever resonate in our hearts, a testament to a life well-lived. Mr. Webber will be laid to rest in their family cemetery located near Muskogee, OK.
