John A. Baker, aged 28, passed away peacefully on March 21, 2024, in South Dayton, NY. Born on June 30, 1995, in Erie, PA, John's life was one marked by genuine warmth and a relentless dedication to bringing joy to those around him.
He is survived by his beloved girlfriend, Mary E. Rodriguez, his bonus kids Adam, Alisianna (Bella), Mateo and Adonis (Donnie),his father Don Baker, his brothers, Kyle Barry and Dave Baker, and a cherished circle of aunts, uncles, cousins. He was predeceased by his mother, sister, and grandmother, leaving behind a legacy of love and resilience instilled by his family.
John took great pride in his automotive degree from Erie 2 BOCES. His passion extended beyond his profession, as he enlivened the lives of Mary's children and pursued hobbies that ranged from chopping wood to intricate handiwork, all guided by the simple mission to elicit a smile from anyone he encountered.
In every interaction, John embraced life with an inspiring vibrancy. His memory will be treasured, and his example of kindness will continue to influence all who knew him.
A celebration of life will be held at Fluvanna Community Church at a date to be determined.
