Todd Baker Obituary

Todd Brant Baker, 59, of Willow Springs, Mo., went to be with Jesus on Oct. 9, 2025, just two days before his 60th birthday. Todd was born on Oct. 11, 1965, in West Plains, Mo., to Jesse and Mary Ann (Rackley) Baker.

On Sept. 27, 1986, Todd married the love of his life, Brenda Sue (Fine) Baker. Together, they built a beautiful life centered on faith, family, and hard work. Todd was a devoted husband, a loving father to Kaitlyn Knight and Jonathan Baker, and a proud example of integrity and perseverance to everyone who knew him.

Todd spent 39 years with UPS. Throughout the years, he built countless relationships with his coworkers and customers on his route. He had a deep love for the outdoors, whether he was fishing, hunting or working on old cars and trucks, but his greatest joy was sharing those moments with his family. He was loyal, humble and mild-tempered, with a quiet strength that inspired those around him.

Todd lived his faith daily, with Christ at the center of everything he did. His tenacious spirit, gentle heart and steadfast devotion to his family and faith leave a lasting legacy of love and character.

Todd is preceded in death by his grandparents Clifton and Iris Rackley, and Byron "Red" and Mable Brittell.

Todd will be deeply missed by his wife, Brenda; his children Kaitlyn and husband Ben Knight, and Jonathan and wife Taylor Baker; his beloved grandchildren Jettson Baker, Natalie Knight and Truman Knight; his brother Chad Baker; his parents Jesse and Mary Ann Baker; and all who were blessed to know him.

Funeral services were held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2025, at Westside Family Life Center, Willow Springs, with Pastor David Lovan and Clayton Lile officiating, under the direction of Yarber Mortuary, Willow Springs. Visitation was held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 13, 2025, also at the church. Interment was in Pine Grove Cemetery, Willow Springs. Memorial contributions may be made to The Gideons International or Victory Mission. Condolences may be expressed at www.yarbermortuary.com.
