Elder Webb was born in Faye, Oklahoma to Della and Samuel Webb.  He married the love of his life, Anita Mae Henley, he lovingly called her his "Alberta peach" and through their marriage they had nine children.  Elder Webb was a loving husband and a caring father.  He raised his children in the church and his life was a true example of how to be a father and husband.  He served his country in the U.S. Army during World War II.  From there he eventually went on to be one of the first minority-owned construction businesses in Iowa.  He did everything from sodding and grading to house demolition.  He also poured and finished sidewalks, driveways and streets; a lot of the streets in Cedar Rapids he worked on.  He even poured and finished the concrete for the Ground Transportation Building in downtown Cedar Rapids.  Through his business he employed anyone who was looking for work.  He often hired those who didn't have any training and those who were unemployable.  While working, he would witness and tell the workers about Jesus Christ and many became Christians just because of his testimony.

Harmon had a love of horses and this love started when he was of a young age.  He raised horses and started a horse ranch with his son, Danny, which became one of the first black-owned Equine businesses in Iowa.  At the peak of their business they had over 25 horses.

His greatest gift was being a Pastor for over 40 years.  He had a heart and passion for people.  Whenever anyone was in need, he was there to help; often times buying groceries, paying rent or helping pay utilities for those in need.  He would always visit and pray with the sick and those in the hospital or in jail.  His ministry had a great impact and he was a pillar of strength in the Cedar Rapids community.  Many came to know Jesus Christ, others were licensed and ordained through his Pastoralship and have become Evangelists, Ministers and Pastors.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his spouse, three children, Vikky Webb, Tammy Foster and Michael Webb, eight brothers and two sisters.

He is survived by his sons, Kenneth, Danny (Karen), David, and Darwin and his daughters, Kassandra and Shavon; siblings, Nettie Lee, Corinne, and Arnold (Anita); grandchildren, Lamont (Danna), Melissa, Richard (Karey), Taisha, Elaya, Aaron, Edward, Timothy, Serena, Jordan, Felicia, Keisha, and Mariah.  A host of nieces, nephews, cousins, great and great-great grandchildren and extended family also survive.
