Aaron Baker Obituary
He was born June 26, 1975, at Fort Madison, a son of Joseph P. Jr. and Carolyn K. (Hofmann) Baker.
Aaron graduated from Fort Madison High School in 1993 and enjoyed performing in the high school rodeo, working crew and racing "wild thing" four-cylinder class stock cars, hunting and bowfishing. He was an officer for Bowfishing Association of Illinois and loved teaching others about the sport. He had been a truck driver for over 15 years, and most recently worked as a service technician for WIN Propane, Wever, for the past year.
On June 3, 2017, he married Rhonda McKinney at Monmouth, Illinois.
Aaron's faith was a big part of his life. He spent time regularly studying and reading his bible, and recently learning about how to serve in missions work through his church; he had a deep love of God, his church family, his family and friends and especially Rhonda.
He is survived by his wife, Rhonda Baker, of Nauvoo; his parents, Joseph P. Jr. and Carolyn K. Baker of Montrose; his children, Brandon (Savanna) West, of Berwick, Illinois, and Abigail Berg, at home; one granddaughter Freya Lilly Jo; his siblings, Jo Lyn Shipman of Gilbert, Arizona, and David (Traci) Baker of Washburn, Iowa; one brother-in-law and sisters-in-law, aunts and uncles, and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, John F. Jr. and Beverly Hofmann, and Joseph P. Sr. and V. Lorean Baker; father-in-law, Jack Danley; and mother-in-law, Deborah Lyytinen.
