He loved cooking on the grill on holidays and was avid on keeping up with current events from the news, and shows like 60 minutes, National Geographic, CNN, and many other documentaries. Mr. Baker was helpful with the concerns of all his family members.

Barbara; his sons, David Anthony (Sharee) of Charleston, SC and Brandon Keith of Spartanburg, SC; his daughter, Catina Freeman ( Robin) of California; his sisters, Carrie Yvonne Thomas (Kaiser) and Deborah Baker; his four brothers, Curtis (Pam), Michael, Rodney and William; his four grandchildren, Micayla, Mehki, Arianna and Labresha; brother-in-law, Michael Thompson; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.
