Brett Baker Obituary

BAKER, Brett Herrity

Brett Herrity Baker, 21, of Roswell, GA passed away on August 13, 2021.

He was born December 17, 1999, in Atlanta, GA. He was raised for much of his life by his adoring single father, the late William Warren Baker, Jr.

Brett will be remembered by his family and many friends as a kind, fun-loving, and adventurous person. He was a graduate of Centennial High School, class of 2019. Over the years, Brett enjoyed fast and flashy cars, creating YouTube videos, skateboarding, photography, and mastering different kinds of Rubik's cubes.

He loved his job in sales at Mazda of Roswell due, in part, to the close family atmosphere of the dealership. He was known for his extensive knowledge of cars as well as his enthusiasm and relatability.

He was a loving grandson, son, brother, uncle, and cousin. Brett is survived by his sister, Briana Keller (Bill), and his brother, Harrison Baker (Addison); grandmother, Dorothy S. Baker; aunts, Jennie Baker, Barbara Bratten (Wayne), and Wendy Emert; uncle, David Baker (Dianne); nephews, Evan and Andrew Keller and Asher and Hudson Baker; numerous cousins; as well as additional family in the Northeast.
