Market Meeker extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of James Webb following a tragic accident Tuesday afternoon.

The Meeker community is mourning the loss of Webb, 71, whose death was reported after an accident involving a tractor on private property near Meeker.

According to authorities, emergency crews were dispatched at approximately 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. Officials stated that Webb was using a tractor to pull a tree when the tractor began to overturn. The tractor rolled onto Webb, who died from his injuries.

In a small town, losses like these reach far beyond a single family. Friends, neighbors, church members, coworkers, and lifelong acquaintances all feel the absence left behind.

Today, our thoughts are with those who knew and loved James Webb.

Market Meeker encourages community members to keep the Webb family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and to use the comments to share condolences, memories, and messages of support.

If funeral or memorial service information becomes publicly available and the family wishes for it to be shared, we will provide updates as information becomes available.
