Dennis L. Babb

Posted on: Dec 31, 2012

Dennis L. Babb of Knoxville died on July 27, 2012. Born in Knoxville on June 6, 1929, he graduated from Knoxville High School in 1948 and proceeded to the University of Tennessee on a football scholarship. After suffering a serious head injury that ended his playing days, he went into the United States Army and served for two years. He then returned to the University of Tennessee, where he finished his undergraduate education and subsequently obtained a law degree. He began the practice of law in 1956 and practiced for over 40 years. An outstanding trial attorney, he was a founding partner of Butler, Vines and Babb. While he enjoyed his work, his family and home were the true focus of his life. Dennis was an avid snow skier, hunter, and in his later years, golfer. He loved to work in his yard, property that he helped clear by hand almost 50 years ago. With his beloved wife of nearly 56 years, Nancy Johnson Babb, they raised and loved three children, Edward U. Babb, Douglas S. Babb, and Elizabeth J. Babb (Bradley). They have five grandchildren.
