Mark A. Webb
Mark A. Webb, 56, of Houston, Texas, passed away on August 9, 2021, surrounded by family and friends.
Mark was born in Houston, Texas, on May 21, 1965, to Mary Pillion and Gregory Webb. He attended Deer Park High School and graduated in 1983. During high school he enjoyed playing baseball and attending the Texas Police Officer’s Association Rodeo and the Simonton Rodeo where he enjoyed riding Bulls. After high school he decided it was time to serve his country. He did so by enlisting in the United States Army, 82nd Airborne division for seven years. Mark remained in touch with his army buddies. He respected his fellow service men in all branches of the military. His children remember their dad talking to Marty and Scott about their military days. Mark was a proud and patriotic American.
After Mark completed his service in the Army, he worked for several companies before finding his home of thirteen years at Integrity Trade Services as the Gulf Coast Director. He referred to Integrity as his baby and enjoyed going to work each day.
In 2002, Mark met Deborah De Los Santos through their mutual friends, Steve and June. Mark and Deborah went on to have two wonderful children, son, Marcus and daughter, Skyler whom Mark referred to as ” baby- girl”. He was a loving father, a great friend and a wonderful loving son. Raising his children was the most challenging, bravest and rewarding accomplishment. He was a proud father. Mark enjoyed coaching his son’s baseball team for many years and that brought him joy. He enjoyed golfing, cooking and taking the kids to the park along with the family dog, Judy. Mark enjoyed going to church on Sunday’s and remained very active in his Church. He founded the “Stand Down with Faith” Military Ministry and served on the Safety Team at Gateway. His greatest reward in life was helping others.
Mark is survived by his numerous loving family members and all the beautiful friends he has made along the way. Mark is preceded in death by his stepfather, Steve Pillion.
Mark, also known as Marco Polo by his mom will be missed and will always be in our hearts and would have appreciated those here today.

Mark was a warrior with the softest heart. He’d never shake your hand without a hug. We will miss him now and always. Hurrah RIP Mark.
Mark, who loved people and loved life, you will always be with me buddy.
Hey my brother! You and I spoke often about our adventures in the 82nd Airborne and the extra curricular activites we had at Bragg, DC, Myrtle Beach, and so on. We jumped out of those C130s and off the roof of the Foxfire in MB, and together we talked about and embraced in those memories frequently. You know what I mean lol.
And as selfish as this is gonna sound my brother, I hope you will put in a good word for me with Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. Because I know you are with doubt up there with him and our heavenly Father, the JumpMaster in the sky.
Nothing but love and honor to you bro! I know we’ll meet again. So until then, keep your heavenly eyes open, chin on your chest, elbows tucked into your side, and count to….
My deepest love to you my brother 🙏
AATW! Beach Ranger 7…OUT.

Hey brother. Sorry I am late with my comment. I sure miss you! Many days I would wake up and see your Marco Polo message on my phone. I don’t get those anymore and it saddens me. I used to help you in your struggles, BUT you helped me as well. I know you will continue to help me still. Your prayers are way more powerful now that you are in heaven–James 5:16 says “The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects”. Who is more righteous than someone in heaven! So, I will continue talking to you knowing that you will pray for me.
I will keep in touch with your kids. They are wonderful, you and Debra did a great job raising them.
You know while you were still with us I used to tell you I wanted to emulate you and how you were able to effortlessly engage with people. I always thought to myself “be like Mark”. So, I will strive to be like you. I love you brother. Can’t wait to see you again. God bless.
hey dad, sorry for the late comment.. but just know that i have continued to love and miss you for the past six hundred & fourty-nine days. I’m entering my junior year of college and it’s crazy to think that i just graduated high school when you passed. I miss your unique laugh that’s still imprinted in my mind and the squeezes on my arms when you hugged me. Im so proud of whom i’m becoming to be as everyday i grow more like you. I remember your lessons that you taught me and glad that i remember those wise words because they are guiding me down the path you worked so hard to provide for me. It breaks my heart because you’ve missed out on so much that i still pick up the phone to call and tell you about the drama in my life and realize that I can’t anymore. Knowing you, I know your keeping a close eye on me and still protecting me from harm as my guardian angel… and still sticking your nose in my business. I love you endlessly dad.. Happy one day early birthday 🙂
