Jeffery “Scott” Webb, 55, passed away on Thursday, May 14, 2026.

A native of Marion, NC, Scott was the son of James Andrew Webb and the late Mildred Louise Allison Webb.

Scott was someone you didn’t forget once you knew him. He had a sharp intelligence, a dry sense of humor that could catch you off guard, and a personality that revealed itself gradually, but those who had the chance to get to know him discovered someone thoughtful, dedicated, selfless, kind, and quietly caring. Scott was a voracious reader from a young age, enjoying everything from classic literature to comic books. His love of storytelling led him to begin writing at an early age, a passion he continued throughout his life. He published several stories and was recognized for his talent by winning several writing contests.

In addition to his father, he is survived by his partner, Scott Case; aunts, Diane Allison and Mary Allison; and his cousins, Travis Webb, Allen Webb, Chrystal Webb, Missy Webb, and Leslie Webb. He was preceded in death by his sister, Sharon Lynn Webb.

His friends and family will gather to celebrate Scott’s life on Tuesday, May 26, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Groce Funeral Home on Patton Avenue in Asheville, N.C.

  1. Worked with Scott at Genova for years. He was sarcastic, funny, serious, handsome, and always friendly. A little aloof and a bit goofy. We kept in touch for a while online after I left and he was even more brazen about silly conventions the world placed on us and I thought was really awesome. Sorry to everyone.

  2. I worked with Scott at Great Smokies back in the early 2000’s. I am saddened to hear of his passing. Although it has been years since we spoke, I remember him always being such a sweetheart. He was caring, kind, funny, witty, sarcastic and talented. I remember his beautiful blue eyes and his warm genuine smile. Sending prayers to his family and friends during this time. We love you Scoot. Grateful to have known you, rest in peace friend.

  3. I met Scott when we were 11 years old, and it is difficult to imagine my life without him somewhere in it. We were in school over a decade together and shared countless interests over the years — super-hero comics, role-playing and strategy games, science fiction like Star Trek and Star Wars, and the same offbeat sense of humor that made us both love shows like Fawlty Towers, the Muppets and 1966 Batman.

    One of the defining experiences of our youth was discovering Tolkien together. While many people remember junior high through junk like school dances or first romances, some of my strongest memories are of two friends becoming completely immersed in The Lord of the Rings and the worlds of fantasy and adventure it opened for us. Those stories stayed with us our entire lives.

    Many friendships falter and go stale over time. The two of us could always pick up the phone and continue our conversation as if no time had elapsed at all. Those conversations were effortless, full of laughter, imagination, and shared memories, and they were almost never long enough.

    Scott was one of the people who helped shape my formative years, and many of my happiest memories are tied to our friendship and the worlds we discovered together. It is deeply painful to know there will never be another one of those conversations.

    I will miss him greatly. But I’m so happy for the friendship.

  4. My heartfelt condolences to Uncle Andrew Webb for the passing of his son Scott. I remember Scott as a very happy boy growing up on Smith Hill behind granny Grace and Grandpa. I remember he was going to be a writer after college I’m glad that he got to see his dreams come true because Uncle Andrew was always proud of him. May he rest in peace with his mother Milder and sister Sharon for they are both very surly missed. May we see them together someday in Heaven.
    Love your cousin Irene Wyatt Smith
