Zayah Charles Webb

Zayah Charles Webb, Nez Perce, age 3 months, our beloved son, brother, nephew, and grandson left us Saturday, February 17, 2024.

Zayah was born October 19, 2023, alongside his twin brother Zakari Cloud Webb in Lewiston, Idaho, to Elijah James Webb and Sawaya Solee Greene.

Zayah will be remembered for his big gum filled smile, his signature frown, and his chunky rolls. His spirit was such a light to all those around him. Although his time was limited with us, he fulfilled his role as a son, brother, nephew, and grandson. He was loved from all across the country from those that knew him and knew of him. Zayah loved bath time, he spent many hours in the gym enjoying basketball games. He was at peace when being sung powwow songs by his Papa Greene and loved his earned nickname “Jack” by his Uncle Brock. Zayah was passionate about the outdoors, especially going on cruises with his parents in the mountains. He above all was fulfilled by his entertaining older siblings, Alailah and Jetty.
