We do not need a special day To bring you to our minds, The days we do not think of you are very hard to find. They say time heals all sorrow and helps us to forget, But time has only shown How much we miss you yet. God gave us the strength to take and courage to bear the blow, But what it meant to lose you CHUM No one will ever know.

It was honour and pleasure to know Herb Nabigon and to receive his teachings about love, patience, courage, wisdom, truth, humility. Although it has been many years since we last spoke, his words and his wisdom have stayed with me. His passing is a great loss to his family and community, and to the lives of the many he has touched as a teacher and elder, but I trust his wisdom lives on. I offer my sincere condolences to his wife, children and extended family. Chi Miigwetch. Sherry Barnett

My thoughts and prayers with my family during this transition. May the God of all comfort rest on you and continue to strengthen you going forward.
Herb will be fondly remembered and I will always be thankful and grateful for the season he poured into my life during one of the darkest times of my life as I was trying to find my way.
He opened his door to help me and done his best to give me the guidance and direction I needed at the time.
For that I say thank you for Herb and his life and gifts he imparted.
May he rest high on his mountain.

I am so very sorry for your loss. There are not many words of strength or healing that I can say, that you have not already heard. I do remember Herb coming to visit his daughter Alana here in Bella Bella well over ten years ago when she was a high school teacher here at Bella Bella Community School. He seemed a gentle man and you could tell he loved to laugh. He told us he wanted to know about the Bologna that the people here in Bella Bella went crazy for, but the store was sold out and he was disappointed. My whole class giggled when he told the story. I'm so sorry again, and just had to share a memory, for one of the best teachers I can remember. We absolutely loved Alana's presence in our school and I can only hope that all the love, light and strength we are sending gets to you. My deepest condolences.

Love and peace to the family from First Nations University where Herb served as Department Head of Indigenous Social Work some years ago. Herb was fair, helpful and visionary, but his heart called him back to the East. We continue to use many of his writings and teachings. He is free and filled with joy beyond belief, but we will feel our human pain.

Sincere and heartfelt condolences to Annie, Herb's children and the rest of Herb's family. Herb was sure a positive guidance in a lot of people's lives. One of the most respected, knowledgeable elders I've had the pleasure of knowing. I am honoured that he gave me and my sons our traditional names. Gonna miss seeing him around he would acknowledge many as "chum" when he would see them. The " happy hunting grounds"
has gained another great warrior. Soar high with the eagle my friend. John, Lisa, Kaden and Brant.

To Annie and the family of Herb Nabigon,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my all-time favourite professor, Herb Nabigon. I always enjoyed his classes the most because he knew how to keep things light, even though the issues discussed were oftentimes very grim. I will never forget Herb and I am so grateful that I had the honour to be one of his many students.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love,

My heart goes to the Relatives and Friends of Herb. This man helped me to get back on the right path in my early Sobriety. He once told a group of people that if they were not sincere in the walk to please not puff the Sacred pipe. I still smoke the Sacred pipe in remembering My Brother Herbs life story and the loss of his arm. I will see you on the other side my Brother.

I am sending my love and prayer to Herb, who changed my life in a pivotal way. With his wisdom, I grew the strength that was within myself but not nurtured. He always believed in my abilities as a helper. I was gifted with my spirit name from him, without thought, my name came to him when I needed to find it the most.
It is with great sadness that I heard he has passed, I hope to keep making him proud as I remember the Traditional teachings he blessed me with, there are so many words I wish I could express on how much he changed my life. I wish the family healing and condolences. He was an amazing man and will forever be my Elder. Xoxoxox

So very sorry to hear of your loss. Clem, it was so good to reconnect with you this past year. As you know, I was blessed to have met Herb at some teachings in Sudbury. He and my dad were friends and your mom and my mom were friends when I was a young girl. Life is certainly a circle and Herb knew that well.
