We like to convey our deepest condolences to Bryan Baker’s family and friends upon his loss on March 14, 2024. At the age of 45, he leaves behind a legacy that will long echo throughout our hearts thanks to the love, adventure, and hard work that he has left behind. The most important thing about Bryan was that he was a committed and devoted parent who was very active in the lives of his children.
Even more than anything else, he took pleasure in creating memories with his children. Bryan was more than just a father to his children; he was their most ardent supporter and their most ferocious guardian. The importance of family in Bryan’s life cannot be overstated.
Together with his life partner, Kelly Tedrick, he constructed a house that was brimming with affection and humorous moments. Together with their blended family, which consists of two daughters named Taylor Baker (Will) and Jaden Baker, one son named Brandon Baker, and two step-daughters named Olivia Tedrick and Nora Tedrick, they created moments that will be loved for the rest of their lives.
As a brother, Bryan was more than just a sibling; he was his brother Mike Baker’s greatest buddy and a partner in crime. Mike Baker was the brother of Jenny, Abby, and Drew Baker. A love and support relationship that was unbreakable existed between Bryan and his brother Mike. Brother, may you rest in peace; your presence will be sorely missed, but you will never be truly forgotten. Because Bryan was the son of Janice Schreiber (Larry) and Gib Baker (Carol), his parents were fortunate enough to be able to observe his development and take part in his adventures.
Throughout his whole life, from the time he took his first steps to the time he achieved his greatest accomplishments, they were there to support and encourage him. Even if he is not physically present with us anymore, his spirit will continue to be with us in our hearts and in the memories that we cherish for the rest of our lives. Bryan was not your normal contractor and business owner; rather, he was a craftsman who enthusiastically poured his love into every job that he worked on. With courage and determination, he faced each new day, and he left an indelible mark of brilliance in everything that he accomplished.
In his spare time, you could find Bryan living out in the country, fulfilling his lifelong dream of living in the country. Whether he was working on projects in his shed, doing yard work, playing with our three German Shepherds (Ash, Zev, and Max), or hanging out around a bonfire with friends and family, beneath that tough and rugged exterior you could find the heart of a genuine family man. Bryan’s spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who had the extraordinary opportunity to know him, even though his physical presence is no longer with us.
Even though we are saddened by his passing, let us not forget to rejoice in the extraordinary life he led and the love he shared with each and every one of us. Having the knowledge that your legacy of love will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who had the honor of knowing you means that you can rest easily, Bryan. Oh, we adore you.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home on Saturday, March 23, 2024, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., celebrating the life of the deceased.
