Bryan Baker Memorial Fund

My name is Brittany, I’m a friend of the Baker family. Bryans mom, Janice, and I worked as nurses together on the IV/Transfusion team and have remained friends for over a decade now. I have been fortunate enough to get to know the whole family, and consider them apart of my own. Please consider donating if you’re able. If you’re not financially able to help, please consider sharing as it would mean the world to me and Bryan’s family.

Obituary written by the family:

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bryan Baker, on March 14, 2024. At 45, he leaves behind a legacy of love, adventure, and hard work that will forever resonate within our hearts.

Above all, Bryan was a dedicated and devoted father who was very involved in his children’s lives. He enjoyed making memories with his kids more than anything. To his kids, Bryan was more than just a dad; he was their biggest cheerleader and their fiercest protector.

Family was the cornerstone of Bryan’s life. Alongside his life partner, Kelly Tedrick, he built a home filled with love and laughter. Together, with their blended family of two daughters; Taylor Baker (Will) and Jaden Baker, one son; Brandon Baker, and two step-daughters; Olivia Tedrick and Nora Tedrick, they created cherished memories that will forever be treasured.

As a brother, Bryan was more than just a sibling; he was a best friend and partner-in-crime to his brother Mike (Jenny, Abby and Drew) Baker. Bryan and his brother Mike had a unwavering bond of love and support. Rest in peace brother, your presence will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

As a son to Janice Schreiber (Larry) and Gib Baker (Carol), they were blessed to witness Bryan’s growth and share in his adventures. From his earliest steps to his proudest achievements, they stood by his side, cheering him on every step of the way. Though he may no longer be with us in person, his spirit will forever live on in our hearts and in the memories we hold dear.

Bryan wasn’t just your typical contractor and business owner; he was a craftsman who poured his passion into every project he touched. He tackled each day with grit and determination, leaving behind a mark of excellence in everything he did.

In his free time, you could find Bryan soaking up his life’s dream of living out in the country - whether he was working on projects in his shed, doing yard work, playing with our 3 German Shepherds (Ash, Zev, and Max), or hanging out around a bonfire with friends and family, beneath that tough and rugged exterior beat the heart of a true family man.

Though he may no longer be with us in body, Bryan’s spirit will live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know him. As we mourn his loss, let us also celebrate the incredible life he lived and the love he shared with all of us.

Rest easy, Bryan, knowing that your legacy of love will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing you. We love you.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Saturday, March 23, 2024, in the River Park Chapel at Macken Funeral Home.
