Servant of Christ, loving husband of 40 years, beloved father of 3 and grandfather of 9 (with another grandchild due in January 2026 and one already in heaven), United States Marine Corps veteran and faithful friend: Joseph Patrick Baker lived his life with passion, purpose and a love for family; overcoming obstacles, enduring hardships, and giving from an overflowing heart.

He suffered from a major stroke event in September of 2025 which despite doctor's best efforts in the days following would sadly claim his life on September 9th. He left behind beautiful memories, carefully taught lessons and laughter for his family, friends, and everyone else he touched.

We are asking those who are able to help his family with the medical bills and final expenses related to his sudden passing as well as aid his surviving wife during this time of difficult transition. Thank you all for your love, thoughts and prayers. God bless
