Mike was a remarkably kind and helpful man that I've enjoyed talking to over the years. Sadly I never got to meet him in person but felt I've known him my whole life. Thanks for your service Mike, you will be deeply missed by all who knew you. Sending Prayers and condolences to all his loved ones. 

Your Air Force Family in Michigan

"Thank you Mike for helping me all the times helping do my job out here in Southern California. Your reach was great! 
Each time I called, you solved the issue. 
Most importantly, you made me feel I was your most important call of the day and stayed on the phone with me until the issue I called for was 100 percent complete. 
Your voice was always great to hear.  Thank you again Mike, will miss you greatly!"      Respectfully,  Glen Tedtaotao.

Mike was one of the nicest man I had the pleasure of knowing and working with.  Whenever there was an issue, nothing phased him.  He also had the beautiful southern drawl that made everything just right.  Rest In Peace Mike.

For Mike Bakers Family,

Mike has been a huge help to me these past 10 years or so.  I am sad to hear that he has left us. He was always available, friendly, and kind to me when I needed help. On behalf of the 367th Recruiting Squadron out of Colorado Springs, CO, he will be greatly missed.  Sorry for your loss and may God be with you in this time of sadness.

Sincerely,

Jutta Hume

Mike was such a nice man and always helpful when I called him.  He was always in a great mood and willing to do anything to support his customers with RFMIS. I will be praying for the family. He will be missed so much.

My deepest sympathies to Mike’s family & friends. I have worked with Mike for a number of  years now, we did RFMIS testing and most recently UPASS Administration in support of our Service  users. One of our users just commented that Mike was a true southern gentleman and stated how kind and patient he was. I pray that God would comfort you today & always. 

Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Mike was truly a diamond in the rough, he could be a bit gruff at times, but behind that gruffness was a big softie.  We met 10 years or so ago with work, and somehow managed to connect here and there when we were on different projects.  He was always so patient and helpful to me when I had questions.  His customers always had such great things to say about how much they enjoyed working with him and how helpful he was to them.  He left a lasting impression on all who met him.
Both professionally and personally, his death leaves a big hole in my life that cannot be replaced; there will never be another like him!  I'm so very sad that he has left us, but am comforted knowing that he was surrounded by the family who he loved so much was with him in the end.  
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My deepest condolences to the Baker family, colleagues and friends of Mike.

I never met Mike, but I spoke to him a few times on the phone. He was supporting a program that we use for our job.  We instantly made a connection as we are both Alabama football fans.  He was very friendly, and helpful! I pray that God will wrap his arms around you and your family during this time of loss!

On behalf of the Salt Lake City Utah Recruiting Battalion.  Please accept our deepest sympathies. We just wanted to let you know that our thoughts are with you and your family during this time.  Mr. Baker will be truly missed.

My condolences go out to the Baker family.  Mike supported us in Air Force Recruiting Service with our computer issues.  He was the epitome of customer service.  Always there for us and always solving our problems.  I had the pleasure of getting to know Mike personally when we attended business meetings together.  He was such a genuine and nice person.  Loved his family, his country and his job.  He will certainly be missed.  I was glad to call him my friend.  God bless.  

I knew Mike in high school, he was smart, always a smile and a very genuine person. I’m so sorry to hear about this, my prayers are for the family and all his close Comer gang! Truly a treasure to have known Mike!

I knew Mike from B.B. Comer. He was a great friend, always had a smile, and a good sense of humor.
I’m so sad to hear of his passing. I have not seen Mike  in a while but he was the kind of friend that always had  a place in your heart.
He was an awesome person.
