Mark Alexander Baker

December 11, 1957 - January 4, 2015

Mark Alexander Baker, 57, of Port Angeles passed away peacefully at his home on the evening of January 4, 2015.

Mark left all those who had the pleasure of getting to know him with brilliantly happy memories and laughs that we will all hold onto dearly and forever.

Mark was born December 11, 1957, to Raleigh and Reva Baker in Hollywood, California.

Mark first and foremost loved — and was so proud of — his five children and his seven grandchildren.

He was a master electrician, a very talented carpenter, mechanic and really could (and loved trying to) fix just about anything.

Mark enjoyed "Star Trek," stollen bread, the Grateful Dead, telling wild stories of his days growing up in Southern California, Heath bars, a good-fitting pair of 501's, fireworks, writing his own jokes, Coca-Cola and antiques.

A favorite song of his was "Dear Mr. Fantasy."

Mark also shared the last 17 years of his life with his "sweetie" and love, MaryAnne Anderson. Together, they enjoyed beach walks, concerts at The Gorge, gardening, bird-watching and so much more.

Mark is survived by his wife, MaryAnne; five children, Willie Truex, Carissa (Wesley) Fallan, Stewart Baker, Cynthia Baker and Daniel Baker; seven grandchildren, Journey, Jaxin, Carsin, Sebastion, Madelyne, Blaze and Lavender; three sisters, Paula Smith, Lisa Unger and Laurel Calder; and brother William Baker.

He was loved very much and will be missed every day.

Everyone who remembers him is asked to celebrate Mark's life in his or her own way.

No formal service will be held upon Mark's request.
