His ride is over, a remarkable man. Bob came to the end of his road at 1:11AM Easter Sunday April 16, 2017 in the arms of his beloved wife Barb and adoring family. It was a very short hard fought battle. Robert John Baker was only 56 years old.
He is survived by his loving wife, Barbara Jean; two daughters, Candace (Matty Green) Baker-Green, Kristin (Kyle Chambers) Baker; step-sons, Adam (Fallon Morland) Morland, Jayson (Angela Brown) Brown, Kenny Brown, Brady (Justine Inglis ) Brown; step-daughter, Dezarae (Kevin Oman) Robinson Brown, Danny (Tanya Pollard) Pollard; grandchildren, Dallas Green, Rhayne Green, Maddox Morland, Brynn Morland, Natasha Brown, Douglas Elliot, Carson Brown, Hannah Brown, Jacob Curry-Brown, James Curry-Brown, Jayse Curry-Brown, Wacey Inglis, Tyrraine Robinson, Austyn Sisson, Bailey Sisson, Mackenzie Pollard and Ana Pollard;
Brother, Ken (Shirley Baker) Baker; nephews, Rick (Stephanie Baker) Baker, Spencer Baker; sister in-law, Lori Baker; Father and Mother in-law Ken and Jean Johnson; brother in-law, Brian (Arlene Johnson ) Johnson; and his best friends, Mark (Virginia Hadwell) Hadwell , Ron (Judy Parker) Parker ; several other nephews, nieces, and many other children who found love and shelter in their home; as well as many more, too many to mention by name but so important to Bob.
Mr. Fix It will always be remembered for the kind, loving & inspirational person he was. Our hearts will be filled with love whenever we think of him. Thoughts of Bob will always bring a smile to the faces of everyone lucky enough to have him be part of their lives. He spent 25 years working at bubbles, then Best Western for a few months when he finally came across his calling. Working with the Sturgeon Foundation in Gibbons where he loved not only his job but also his co-workers and the residence. He and his wife Barb operated a DJ/Karaoke company Karokonuts for the last 25 years where Bob shared his voice that sounded like an angel with many.
Rest in Peace Bob now your hard painful fight is over, well ours to go on without you is just beginning. You will forever be in our hearts.
