Roger Dewayne Baker, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away on May 4, 2025, at the age of 75 in Lakeland, Florida. Born on January 30, 1950, in Lebanon, Kentucky.
Roger is predeceased by his parents, Orville and Frances, and his sister, Barbara. He is survived by his wife, Barbara, three children: Leslie, Anna, and Roger Jr., his four grandchildren, Joseph, Nicholas, Andrew, and Maya, and his niece, Jennifer. Roger's legacy of kindness and strength lives on through them.
Roger proudly served his country as an Army veteran, a commitment that shaped much of his character and values. His sense of duty was paralleled only by his devotion to his family. His passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew him, but his spirit will forever guide and inspire us.
