For Kris, Christine and their boys

The passing of Kristopher Lee Baker is a tragedy that has affected everyone that knew him, from his closest circle of family and friends, to his students, to those that were simply lucky enough to know him.

Earlier this year he was diagnosed with ALS, and now, so close to Christmas, that cruel disease robbed the world of a truly amazing person.

Kris was an amazing father, husband, teacher and friend to so many. The impact of his death has shattered everyone that knew him, but it’s truly his family, and in particular his wife Christine who has to deal with the wake of that impact.

We can’t bring him back, but we can help ease some of the burden left by the vacuum of his loss for Christine and their boys Chad, Cole and Kameron. We think he would smile to know his friends and community would step up to help take care of his family. Everyone please do what you can!

This is for Baker.
