 James Troy Webb
MINDEN, LA - James Troy Webb, of Minden, Louisiana, went to lend his voice to the Angel Band in Heaven on February 16th, 2012, after a lengthy illness. Troy was born on December 26th, 1935 in Timpson, Texas. He married Gwendolyn Dupuy on March 30th, 1958, and they had three children: Sarah, Jimmy, and Mike. Troy was the owner of City Pest Control in the Minden area for over 40 years. He loved his work and especially his customers. Troy was well known for his singing and guitar playing locally and throughout East Texas where he was born and raised. Playing country and gospel music was Daddy's passion. The only thing that made him happier was spending time with his family and grandchildren. He was a man who loved God and people. His "gift" was helping others while making them laugh.
Troy was preceded in death by his parents Mr. and Mrs. T.H. Webb, sister and brother-in-law Gertie Loyce and Billy Ray Collins, and brother-in-law James Johnson.
