Andrew R. Baker

Andrew Robert Baker, lifelong resident of Holbrook, passed away peacefully with his wife, parents, relatives and many friends at his side at New England Medical Center, July 12, after a very courageous three-year battle with cancer. Andrew grew up in Holbrook and graduated from Holbrook High School in 2002. He worked at Brooks Lumber Supply for six years. He was also on the town of Randolphs Auxiliary Police Department and the Mount Ida College Security Department. Andrew was a former Cub Scout. He played football, soccer, Little League and was on the wrestling team. He also loved to fish, scuba dive and ride motorcycles. Andrews greatest joy was spending as much time as he could with his wife, Kerri, and his daughter, Olivia. He would like to thank all the people from the Brooks Lumber Company for all the things they did for him in his last years. He also wanted to acknowledge his co-workers from the Randolph Auxiliary Department, the Mount Ida College Security Department and a special thank you to his best friend, Keith Lazaron. He was the beloved husband of Kerri (Lazaron) Baker of Holbrook; loving father of Olivia Rose Baker of Holbrook; loving son of Robert and Ann (Jolicoeur) Baker of Holbrook; brother of Michelle and her husband Paul Hoffman of Bridgewater.
