Babe McClain Obituary
Babe, or as many of you knew him BA, is my little brother. I was 12 years old when he was born, so I have always claimed I helped raise him. I have never dreamed I would be doing his Obituary. It should be the other way around. So here I am telling you about my dear Brother and I pray I do him justice.
BA loved his music, traveling and the Casinos. He really loved Elvis Presley singing Gospel music.
He Loved his family as much as life itself, especially his Mother.
He never met a stranger. He would give anyone the shirt off his back if they needed it.
He leaves behind Dena, his wife of many years, two brothers. Hansel Ransom and wife Norma and James Ransom and wife Sandi as well as Uncles, Aunts Nephews, Nieces and many Cousins who he adored and, of course many Friends. He, owbviously will be sorely missed.
Visitation for BA, will be held on Saturday, December 13, 2025, from 1 to 5pm, at Ballard Funeral Chapel. 910 S. Main St., Roswell. Burial of cremated remains will be at a later date.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
910 South Main Street, Roswell, NM 88203
