Michael Robert Baker Jr.

Michael Robert Baker Jr, 30, of Garrett, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, September 9, 2025.

Michael had a smile that would light up a room, the best sense of humor, and a deep love and loyalty for his wife, family, and his many friends. His laugh was infectious and one of a kind. He enjoyed fishing, working on his car, his many tattoos, and especially listening to music. He had a cat, Mia Jade, that he loved dearly. But what he enjoyed the most was just spending all the time he could with his loved ones. He was a devoted husband, son, brother, and uncle. Family meant everything to him. Michael was able to give the gift of life through the selfless act of organ donation. He had a huge heart for others.
