Obituary For Mr. Christopher K. Baker

Augusta, Georgia-Mr. Christopher Kyle Baker.

It is with sad hearts that we have gathered among family and friends in this sacred place to celebrate the life of our beloved Mr. Christopher Kyle Baker, the son of his beloved Mother, Ella Eula Baker and Mr. Horace Adams.

He was a lifetime resident of Augusta, Georgia. Mr. Baker attended Hephzibah High school, where he excelled in basketball and math. Chris gave his life to Christ at an early age and later joined Green Grove Baptist Church in Augusta Georgia, under the leadership of Pastor Anthoni McElrath.

He was self-employed as a Skilled Painter and Artist, specializing in huge murals in the CSRA. Chris was very talented with his hands he could fix almost anything. His favorite pastimes were spending time with his family and friends, fishing (just like his father), listening to music, trying to cook, and watching the Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta Falcons.

On Sunday March 14, 2022, Christopher Baker, 50, passed away at his residence. Although he was sick, he still tried to put a smile on everyone’s face. Chris was always ready to tell a joke or do something silly to make you laugh. Mr. Baker was a fighter and a protector of those he loved. We will remember Christopher Kyle Baker as a loving son, brother, father, and friend. He was preceded in death by his mother, Ms. Ella Eula Griffin, in March of 2016. Christopher leaves to cherish his memory: father, Mr. Horace Adams of Ecorse, MI; stepfather, Mr. Sim J. Pope, Jr. of Augusta, GA; two daughters, Miss Sheondra Baker and Miss Jireh Baker, both of Buford, GA; three brothers, Mr. Eddie Adams of Augusta, GA, Antwaine (AC) Pope of Woodstock, GA, and Khiry Griffin, Sr. of Augusta, GA; three sisters, Stacey (Garrett) Brown of Augusta, GA, Shemekia Pope of Augusta, GA, and Cherlyse Adams of Detroit, MI; very special brother-in-law, Mr. Stacey Hill; five special aunts, Betty English Merriweather of Augusta GA, Maxine Adams-Wright of Roswell, GA, and Tracey P. Bland of Hephzibah GA, Loraina Mathis Hephzibah, GA, Malinda Monroe Augusta, GA; one uncle, Mr. Willie (Sharon) Baker of Crowley, TX; seven adopted siblings; very devoted adopted brother, Travis Hester; and a host of other devoted relatives and friends.

Dad, You are always what I needed in life. To know that I cannot carry on this life with you physically hurts me. But, your energy, your light & your words will always carry with Jireh and I through spirit. Every time I pick up a pencil and put it on a drawing notepad, I will always reflect and think of you. You will forever be in our hearts and I will always remember the advice you've given us. Now that we know you are right alongside with Momma in Heaven, we are at peace knowing you are at home and two angels are watching over us. We miss you and love you so much! Your daughters, Sheondra & Jireh XOXO

Your artwork has always inspired me to see the world for more than what it presents itself to be. I used to watch you whenever I could, how you would smudge and blend, with intention and sturdy yet light precision. You've blessed the world with a gift from God for longer than I can remember. By The will of God, may your memory bring light and joy to others, for we will all meet again one fateful day. God knows best for us all, may He have mercy on your soul and may you find peace and rest on the other side with mama. I love you, You will be dearly missed! Until we meet again, Your niece, Keyanna
