Just saw a movie and it had a D.A.R.E. Poster from the 90s and instantly I thought to look up my D.A.R.E. officer J.A. Babb. I’m 33 now and I was in 5th grade then. He will always be remembered 😊

Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

May God bless all Jim's loved ones with strength to sustain during this difficult time. Jim will live in our hearts forever, and may his memories
sooth both their mind and spirit.
Until we meet again...
Jim. May you rest in peace

Car issues kept me from making it today to pay my last respects personally...but it was a great honor to have gotten to know you while working in Public Affairs.  Your willingness to help others and your commitment and love for your children was evident by all.  May your family remember the great things you accomplished and may the positive influence you shared continue.  Prayers for you and your family.  God be with you till we meet again.

Jim we will all miss you. You have been such a great neighbor and contributor to our community.

"You will always be remembered at Austin Parkway Elementary.  I could always count on you for a helping hand, words of encouragement and the countless times you helped me on Field Day. Brittaney, Gabby, and Madison, you girls were fantastic students for me, and I am sure you have grown into lovely ladies. I pray for you as you grieve the lose of your father."               With my deepest sympathy. Marla Berkowitz

He was one of the most humble and thoughtful supervisors I had ever had the pleasure of working for.  He's always been someone I've tried to model.  God speed and condolences to the Babb family.

Oh Jim, you have taken a piece of me with you. You are the only person in the world that I shared my deepest truths with and who encouraged me to put them to pen. I remember our summers together so fondly as kids and your encouragement as adults. Anastasia misses you so much jim. God how I wish for just one moment of before this....I will never be the same. I love you so much.

What a great loss to our world.  You will be missed cousin Jim and I will miss our chats on FB.  Rest in Peace now.

I love you dad so much. You were a marine, author, DARE officer, Houston police SGT and more importantly, a father and husband. I will always treasure the four years we were together and the many, many years after with a bigger family. I'll remember the midnight snacks, sneaking us out to watch a midnight movie, singing karaoke, fun family night and teenage talk. You were always good with advice and you were always willing to listen, even if we were in the wrong. You were my best friend even though you had to be a parent first. We will always love and miss you and cherish the beautiful memories that you have given us. I always and forever.

I am a better person because I knew Jim Babb.  I am truly saddened by this loss, and I will miss hearing from him.

We have some wonderful memories of times shared with Jim and his beautiful family. He was such a kind person, with a great sense of humor and quick smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim's family. Such a great guy who will be truly missed. We have happy memories of great barbecues with him & his family.

I met Mr. Babb when I was at Primrose with Brittaney his eldest daughter. I believe I had to be 3 or 4 years old at that time. Brittaney and I grew to be best friends which meant I was always at Mr. Babb's house. I saw the Babb family as my own family. I went through all of grade school with Brittaney so I kept close with Mr. Babb. When I heard he pass, I was deeply hurt. He will be forever in my heart.

We are so sorry for your loss. We met Jim at Westside PD when we were involved with the Westside PIP. I road with him twice and he told me that I new more than the rookies and laughed. I will never forget when he was through with pulling soneobe over he couldn't understand why cars ere stopping when he was in the middle espanade I said your over heads are still on. He said oh no eonder there doing what they are supposed to do and we starting laughing. He will be missed. Peayers for all the family in this time in need. God Bless 

Sorry sorry for your loss.  Jim was such a nice person I met him at Westside PD  when I was envilved with the PIP Program. He was my first ride along. He told me I new morr than some of the rookies. That stuck with me since that day. Prayers for the family in this time of need. 

I was so very fortunate to have known Jim Babb.  Any attempt to accurately describe the wonderful person he was would be feeble at best.  The world is better because he was here.

I give my sincere condolences to the Babb family, while  James is now guarding the streets of Heaven. Semper Fi Marine,as it was an honor having served with you.

I came to know Jim when our area was being rezoned by FBISD and a group of us protested the rezoning in 2011. Jim listened to us patiently and was very supportive. I enjoyed our subsequent interactions on Facebook - he knew of and had seen cases where men were abused by intimate partners; I had seen a dear one go through this abuse, and had offered to edit the book that Jim was planning about this topic. He also had a lot of compassion for fathers and mothers alienated from their children due to their ex-spouse speaking ill of them to the children.

Jim had a great sense of humor and I remember his cheerful comments on my Facebook posts. He knew of my culture, and the special dish we make for our harvest festival in Southern India. I had by this time moved out of Houston, so I told him that when I come to Houston during harvest festival time, I will bring the dish for him. I feel sad that I wasn't able to, in his lifetime :(. Jim, your smile and your kindness and friendly spirit will never be forgotten. 

The picture of Jim taking his daughter for a dad-daughter dance is etched in my mind - the daughter dressed in rose pink and wearing gloves and looking so pretty and happy, and Jim in formal wear dancing with her. My heart goes out to his family members, especially his daughters whom he so loved. I remember losing my own father and what it was like, and I send warm thoughts and prayers for his kids. I am so so sorry to lose such a good friend, and I so wish Jim knew how many people in the community feel this way.

James was my classmate in the Academy.  He was a great person who always wanted to help his other classmates.  He has a great soul.  Rest in Peace James. 

David Nieto, Class 136

To Jim's family,

I worked with Jim for a brief time in Public Affairs with HPD. I knew he was a man with a deep faith in Our Lord Jesus. There is no doubt that he is now in heaven praying for his family.

May God be with you and bring you peace.

It was a pleasure to know Jim.  Good man -- inside and out -- and a legacy of service in just trying to do the right thing by people.  Best of the best. That's how I will remember him.  I apologize in being unable to attend the service since I am committed to an out of town travel schedule.  My sincere condolences to the family.

I always remember a story he told--not sure where and when I heard it--but I have retold it numerous time. I just knew Jim a tidbit of time while he was a board member, and I was impressed with the individual he was. He was a gem.

Jann,
We are sending our deepest sympathy to you, Dick and Jim's girls.

I met you as a rookie a WS station. You were always smiling and friendly. May you Rest in Peace. 

JG

May God's loving kindness and comfort help you and your family through this very sad time Psalms 29:11
