Dink Babb

Dink Babb, 70, of Nicholasville, Kentucky, passed away on Thursday, November 5, 2026. He was born on December 31, 1955, in Covington, Kentucky, to the late Elmer and Augustine Babb.

Dink is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Liz Babb, and their three children: Austin (Sarah) Babb, Tyler (Kelly) Babb, and Wes (Mara) Babb. He was a proud and devoted grandfather to six grandchildren: Lucas, Charlie, Charlotte, Henry, Colton, and Jessa. He is also survived by his sister, Donna Hayes; her three sons, Robbie, Randy, and Jon; and many nieces and nephews who shared a lifetime of love and special memories with him.

A 1973 graduate of Bryan Station High School, Dink went on to enjoy a successful and diverse 30-year career with UPS, where he ultimately served as a human resources manager.

Above all else, Dink cherished his family. He devoted his life to loving them, supporting them, and making sure they always had what they needed. He had a special way of showing his love through the countless things he did for those closest to him. Whether it was mowing the kids’ baseball field in the 1990s or replacing the planks on the lake dock to make sure his grandchildren were safe, Dink found joy in taking care of his family. Those everyday acts of love, both big and small, were simply who he was. His greatest joy came from his family, and the memories he created with them will be treasured for generations.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday, November 13, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Clark Legacy Center – Brannon Crossing in Nicholasville, Kentucky.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are encouraged to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, P.O. Box 290369, 525 Royal Parkway, Nashville, TN 37229.
