IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Kenneth Dean
Baker
Sep 17, 1947 — May 16, 2011
Obituary
Kenneth Dean Baker son of the late Ruth Hodges Miner and Clee O. Baker was born in St. Louis, Missouri on September 17, 1947. He departed this life at his residence in Lesterville, Missouri, on May 16, 2011, at the age of 63.
On May 24, 1980 in Lesterville, Missouri, Kenny was united in marriage to Connie Jo Perryman, she preceded him in death on September 27, 2003. Kenny was Veteran of the United States Army, serving as a combat infantryman during the Viet Nam War. Once his service with the United States Army was complete he worked many years as an over the road truck driver. After retirement as a dock foreman for a trucking company in Kansas City, Kenny traveled the United States stating he wanted to see the country at his pace, not behind the wheel of an eighteen wheeler on a schedule. Kenny loved spending days riding four wheelers with friends and family. He was an avid card player and enjoyed spending time spoiling his grandchildren. He was a member of Tower Grove Baptist Church in St. Louis, Missouri, and a member of VFW Post #6660 in Lesterville, Missouri.
Kenny is survived by two daughters, Carmelita Chance of Kansas City, Kelly Paxton and husband Kevin of Olathe, Kansas, one son, Justin Jackson also of Kansas, six grandchildren, Cory, Courtney and Conner Chance, Brandon, Sawyer and soon to be baby brother Paxton, and Jonathan Jackson, two sisters, Carol Brooks and husband Jerry, Vicki Cash and husband Randy all of Lesterville, as well as a host of nieces, nephews and other family and friends who will mourn his passing.
Kenny was a wonderful father, brother, and friend and will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. His quick wit and infectious laughter will stay in our memories forever.
