A good friend from my missionary days, his constant encouragement helped everyone stay strong in the mission. A memory I will cherish. Rest in peace, my friend.
As a missionary in the Chile Osorno Mission, Elder Babcock radiated light and happiness. He loved everyone and was always smiling and serving. He would help with the dishes after a zone conference, because that was how he was raised and he was willing to help! By his actions, he pointed others to Christ and was a faithful, devoted disciple of Jesus Christ!
Many Sunday’s I would be sitting behind this cute family in church and I loved watching him with his cute little girl and how tender he was with his sweet wife. I was so saddened to learn of his illness and his passing. May our Heavenly Father send his choicest blessings to your family. Please know you are loved.
When the Babcock's lived in the Forest Green ward, the bus stop for Wasatch Elementary school bus stop was in front of our house. One morning after the bus had picked the children up, I looked out the window and saw a cute wide eyed little boy hiding behind a shrub. Apparently Josh didn't want to go to school that day! We called his Mom and she promptly came to pick him up! Elizabeth and Daniel were wonderful parents to their beautiful little family and we were sad to see them move away. Our hearts go out to all of the Babcock family as they mourn his passing.

Above all, Josh taught me to be fearless. That’s a trait I always admired in him, and I’m grateful for all the opportunities I had to see his courage in action.
I knew him as Elder Babcock on a few exchanges in the great Chile Osorno Mission. I remember wondering where he got all of his energy from, and looking through our Spanish learning books for which papers we could rip out and start a fire with to keep warm haha.
Hasta ver ,

Right when him and Sammy first got married he took me rock climbing with him and benji and he paid for me. That just really stuck with me throughout my life.
Joshua and I ran with the same crowd during my junior year of high school. Many memories come to mind, a few of which include skipping class to buy a fish at Walmart, playing with puppies on his farm, and going on crazy hard hikes (probably not so hard for him). However, the thing I’ll remember most about Josh was his huge smile. He was someone whose countenance alone made an impression on those around him. To Samantha and their children, Josh's parents, family, and friends, I join with you all in mourning. Joshua’s bright light will live on in all who knew him through cherished memories, and like me, I’m sure you'll remember his big smile and larger-than-life personality. My deepest condolences and many prayers go out to you all.
