Dimitri A. Babich

DIMITRI ALEXANDER BABICH March 27, 1991-January 9, 2008 Dima went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday morning. For seven years, he resided in Helotes, Texas and is survived by his mother Galina Babich and stepfather Roland Perez. Dima was born in Russia where he is survived by his grandfather Arkadi Egron, his aunt and uncle Olga and Oleg Nesterova, and his cousins Ksenia and Andrrei Nesterova. He was preceded in death by his grandmother Nina Egron. Dima enjoyed playing sports of any kind, and that carried over when he and his mother arrived in the United States. He played football at O'Connor High School, and would never turn down a pick up basketball or baseball game. He also enjoyed skateboarding, paintball, or doing anything with a camera rolling. During his seven years in the U.S. many came to know and love him, including his teammates and classmates at O'Connor. His friends will miss his quick wit and handsome smile. His aunts and uncles, Mike and Margaret Shannon, and Lonnie and Judy Perez held him close and cared for him as a son. His cousins and their families loved him as their little brother. Michael, Luke and John Shannon, Sarah O'Neal, and Janet Shannon, along with Jimmy, Joe and Stephen Perez, Theresa Aguilar, and Laura Huey will always remember his unquenchable thirst for fellowship and fun. We will all miss him greatly, and will never forget his enthusiastic knock on the door. Visitation will begin Sunday January 13, 2008 at Simplicity Funeral Home at 5:00 P.M. Funeral Service will be held at the Eagles Nest Christian Fellowship Church Monday January 14, 2008 at 1:00 P.M. Interment will follow at Resurrection Cemetery at Cordi-Marian.
