Zayah Charles Webb, Nez Perce, age 3 months, our beloved son, brother, nephew and grandson left us Saturday, Feb. 17, 2024.
Zayah was born Oct. 19, 2023, alongside his twin brother Zakari Cloud Webb in Lewiston, 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.
Zayah is survived by his father, Elijah Webb and mother, Sawaya Greene, of Lapwai; sister Alailah, brother Jettsyn, and best friend and twin brother Zakari; maternal grandmother Jaime Ewing and John Knapik, of Orofino; paternal grandmother Vanessa Henry, of Lewiston; maternal grandfather Solo Greene, of Lapwai; paternal grandfather Christopher Webb, of Lapwai; maternal aunties and uncles Stacia and Carlos Morfin, Ciarra Greene, Bailey Ewing, Solo P.
