Brendan Patrick Dudley Babb

Sgt. Brendon Babbs was a close friend of mine when we served together at the US Army Jungle warfare center JOC, Ft. Sherman, CZ, Republic of Panama. I was the lead Medic at the Ft. Sherman Aid Station. Sgt. Babbs was then teaching the plants and animals section of the JOC course. We both shared the love of hunting and fishing and he introduced me to hunting the Mohinga Swamps south of the main post. We two once took a group of visiting West Point Cadets on a night run of the Chagres...

I raise a Parting Glass to one Fine Irish Gentleman. And I lift my prayers for the family, God be with you all.

I remember floating the Chena with Brendan more than once, and was struck by his total and utter competence. The conversations that we had stick in my mind like burrs; he was that memorable. Brendan, it was an honor and a privilege to have known you, and I am so sorry you are gone. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Babbs and their extended family, and to those who knew Brendan and feel the loss keenly.

I will also miss Brendan riding by on his bike while i was doing somthing in the garden and we would talk. I'm proud to have known the man.

My sincere sympathy to Brendan's family. I met him when he first came to Fairbanks and his has been a welcome face ever since. I will miss our impromptu visits whenever he'd ride his bike up my street and I'd be working in the yard. He was good people and will be remembered and missed.

Sad to hear of Brendan's passing. He was a good friend.
