David Wayne Baker

He went peacefully. Those who knew him knew that he was a hard worker, an honest man of

God, a loyal and loving husband, and a strong father.

Throughout his life, he enjoyed woodworking in his shop, serving God, and watching Kentucky Basketball games. He was a member of Vision Valley Baptist Church in Mt Washington, KY. He always taught his children to love God first, be honest, and work hard.

He is survived in life by his loving wife, Michelle; his three children, Charlie (Chuckles) Baker, JC (J.) Baker (Hannah), Evelyn (Sissy) Bell (Philip); his three grandchildren, Ezra, Elijah, and Alyce, his siblings Larry, Linda, and Lisa, and his dog, Walter.

He is preceded in death by his father, James Coleman (JC) and his mother Ercell

Hackney, countless friends and relatives, and his dog, Crusher.
