Paul was born on August 28, 1947, to Paul Sr. and Irene (Schoenfeld) Babcock. He was the second of three children. Paul grew up on the family farm East of Hoxie, Kansas, and attended Sheridan Community High School, graduating with the Class of 1965. While in high school, Paul was a member of both the wrestling and football teams. Following graduation, he attended Fort Hays State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree. He continued his education at Kansas State University to earn his teaching credentials. Paul married his High School sweetheart and the love of his life, Vicki L. Hujing, on July 9th, 1967. Paul built their home just outside of Hoxie, Kansas and they were blessed with two children, Greg and Amy. Paul was a Vocational Agriculture and Metal Shop Teacher in Hoxie for thirty-five years, and taught woodworking in Morland, Kansas for 2 years after his retirement. He was also an FFA Advisor, 4-H leader and high school wrestling coach. He loved mentoring and teaching life skills to his students, and was affectionately known to many as “Mr. B.” But though he loved teaching, farming was in his blood, and he was also proud to farm the homesteaded land of his great-grandfather. He often worked long hours, heading to the field as soon as school was out, but he never complained. He said he needed to teach to support his farming habit. Though teaching and farming didn’t leave a lot of free time, Paul loved hunting and fishing, watching NASCAR and football, and drawing wildlife and nature scenes. He believed in living a simple life, and was a man of honesty and integrity. He rarely cursed unless he was working on his farm equipment. Paul was a member of the Immanuel Lutheran Church, Kansas Bow Hunters Association, and Pheasants Forever. He was also a Hunter Education Instructor, and was proud to be selected as the State Hunter Education Instructor of the Year. But most of all, he loved spending time with Vicki, his kids and his grandkids. They were the light of his life. Paul is survived by his wife Vicki of the home; son, Greg and wife Debbie of Lincoln, Kansas; daughter, Amy McMahon and husband Kieran of North Richland Hills, Texas; and Grandchildren, Tyler Jackson, Trevor Jackson, Lily Johnson, Kennedy McMahon, Drew McMahon, Dylan Babcock, and Kaylee Babcock. He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul L. Sr. and Irene Babcock Coulter and grandparents. A Funeral Service is planned for Monday, December 28, 2020, at 10:30 A.M. at the Mickey-Leopold Funeral Home. Immediately following the service, interment will take place in the Hoxie City Cemetery. Visitation will be held Sunday, December 27, 2020 from Noon until 6:00 P.M. The family will receive friends and family from 2:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. all at the Mickey-Leopold Funeral Home. They would also appreciate if those attending would wear masks and follow all appropriate COVID-19 precautions.
