4. Donald Ray Webb (April 2, 1941 – October 13, 2017)
Donald embraced a more understated existence compared to his more widely recognized siblings, yet he carved out his own legacy as a songwriter. His sister, Crystal Gayle, immortalized his talent by recording his song, “Clock on the Wall,” for the 1978 album “I’ve Cried the Blue Right Out of My Eyes.” This achievement brought him immense pride. Beyond his musical endeavors, Donald found joy in quiet pursuits such as fishing, harmonizing melodies, and indulging in the serene activity of mushroom hunting.
Nestled in Wabash, Indiana, Donald and his wife, Debra, fashioned a home filled with love. Together, they raised four children – Janie, Donna, Michael, and Paula. In addition to being a devoted father, Donald reveled in the roles of grandfather to ten and great-grandfather to nine, cherishing the bonds of family that enriched his life.
