Richard Babb Obituary
8/6/62-3/16/16
Richard passed away peacefully at Auburn Faith Hospital after a brief illness, with his Mom by his side. Born with Down syndrome, his nurses said at the time that he was "an angel from heaven." Now he has gone home, suffering no more. Predeceased by his father Jim Babb, Richard leaves behind his siblings: Dianne of Auburn, James of Palm Springs and Donna of Colfax. Richard copied many things that his sister Donna accomplished as a toddler. Special thanks to his care Mom, Judith Brown, for taking care of him for the last eleven years, when his Mother was no longer able. Richard's big sister Dianne treated him to a trip to Hawaii for his 50th Birthday. Thank you for teaching us that you could feel rich, with just a few dollars in your wallet and for teaching us the true meaning of unconditional love. You are missed and we'll meet again.
