Eldon V. Baxter

Hi Dad. You passed away one month ago today. I miss you and Mom but am happy for you both. Remember to come get me when it's my turn to go! I love you guys. Lynne

Dear Lynn & Stan,
I am so sorry about the loss of your Father and friend. I guess we'll now share this one more thing in common. It's clear that we're meant to be friends. It was so good to see you at the "Jam". I hope we can spend many more fun times together in the days ahead. God bless you during this difficult time. Love, Ruthie

October of 1980 (or thereabouts). We met Boo and Eldon at Dead Horse Point and spent two weeks traveling in Utah and Arizona. It was a golden October, and at night we sat under a golden moon chatting about all of our old times together. When we think of Uncle El, we always remember those two golden weeks. Eldon was pure gold.

Eldon was a very special man in my life. I am a lucky person to have had oppertunity to know this hero, father and friend. I will miss him.

Dear Lynne Stan and Kelly, I am so sorry for your loss. It gets kind of lonely with out your parents. I know that your friends thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm greatful to have you as a friend. Please remember that families can be together forever. This is Heavenly Fathers plan. Our love to you all. Bob and Barbara Ekblad

My sincere condolences to the Baxter Family.
I did not know this hero but few, outside of Special Forces Units, know that the First Special Service Force was the frontliner to our current "Green Berets". He must have been a special man.
Rest in peace Mr. Baxter.
