Michael Babb Obituary
Michael was a man that always had a smile and encouraging word for everyone he came in contact with. He was an avid hunter who enjoyed nothing more than being out in God's country. He loved the calm and beauty of being outside and said that's when he had the best talks with the Lord. He was an avid TN Vols fan and loved music.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Bill and Essie Babb and Glenn and Emma Sexton; aunts, Ruth Strunk and Paula Boshears; uncle, Columbus Sexton; and special cousin, Gregg Babb.
Michael is survived by his parents, Leland and Ethel Babb; daughter, Shae Summers and husband Nick; sister, Stacey Young and husband Billy; brother, Daniel Babb; uncles, James Sexton, David Sexton and wife Swannee, Kenny Babb and wife Charity, Bill Babb Jr. and wife Gerty; aunts, Mattie Watters and Kathy Sexton; nieces and nephews, Morgan Strunk and husband Raiden, ZoieAnne Young and boyfriend Parker, Nathan Young, James Keltner, Brandi Carson, and Alayna Babb; special friends, Quinton Lowe, Greg and Porter Mayberry, Melvin and Linda Stephens. Michael shared parts of his life with three special loves, Melissa Babb, Linda Babb, and Carla Newport who was still a special part of his life and he loved wholeheartedly.
