Howard's obituary

Howard Spencer Webster III, known for his spirited humor and zest for life, passed away on January 28, 2024, at 4:20 pm, a time he would have found humorously fitting. Born to Patricia Webster, Howard's 59 years were marked by a fearless pursuit of life's adventures. Howard served with distinction as a Paratrooper in the US Army and had an unforgettable stint as a racecar driver.  

A lover of the arts, Howard expressed himself through tattooing and drawing. He found solace in fishing, camping, and was always ready for a road trip. Music was a joy in his life, and he embraced learning the drums with enthusiasm. Howard's spiritual journey was deeply rooted in his church, where he found community and comfort.

In addition to his diverse pursuits, Howard previously co-owned The Tri-City Raptors, a semi-pro adult football team in the AZFL for several years. Howard's passion for football extended beyond playing, as he actively coached and shared his love for the sport with others

Howard is survived by his loving wife, Autumn Webster, and his children, Joseph Padilla, Ryan Padilla (Samantha), Laura Law (Matthew), Kerry Snyder (Mike), and Elizabeth Webster, along with many beloved grandchildren, his ever caring step-father Mark Kruger and his sister, Jennifer Leischner.

We also acknowledge his former wife Debra Webster with whom he shared 27 years of marriage, and who played a significant role in his life journey. Together, they navigated the complexities of life and raised their beloved children.

Preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Webster, and uncle, Jules, Howard's legacy is one of creativity and humor. His memory will continue to inspire and bring joy to all who knew him.
