Ernest Baker Obituary
 Ernest Ray Baker went to a perpetual sleep on May 13, 2018.  His sudden departure from our midst is beyond simple understanding.  Family and friends, here and abroad, will miss his earthly presence.  But, without doubt, his godly spirit will live on in their hearts.

Ernest was born on January 25, 1976 in Enterprise, Alabama, grew up in Elba, Alabama, settled in Pensacola, Florida.  His boyhood ambition to serve his country was realized when he joined the United States Marine Corps right after high school in 1995 and continued to serve with distinction until 2004.  His honorable military service involved several tours overseas ashore and onboard combatant ships, including deployment to Kosovo, Operation Enduring Freedom (Afganishtan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom.  Indeed, speedy promotions with numerous awards, commendations, and recognitions defined his outstanding military service.  His last duty was at the Naval Air Technical Training Center, Pensacola as an instructor.

Although Ernest possessed the power of intellect (graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Troy University), he was better known as a man of great generosity - personally and materially.  His initial work as a Registered Nurse was at the VA Hospital, Gainesville where he took care of his fellow servicemembers.  He was not one who would deny his time or his possession to anybody who might be in need.  He was truly kind in heart and mind.

Above all, Ernest was a loving man.  He dutifully fulfilled his role as a husband, as a son, as a brother, as an uncle, even as a best friend.  At the end, his most fervent wish was to be a real father.  Life did not grant him that wish.  Nevertheless, he will be remembered with all of the attributes of one who is - a great Daddy.  

Ernest was preceded in death by his grandmother Madge Edge (Elba, Alabama) and Uncle Timothy Edge (Niceville, Florida).  He is survived by his faithful wife Tiffany, mother Zenobia, father Thomas, brother Trent, sister in-law Francie, nephew Bruce, father in-law Roland, mother in-law Lelet, sister in-law Nicole, nieces Sophia and Olivia, and best friend David.
