Don Marshall Baker II

Born August 31, 1964, Bucky, 55, passed away on April 29, 2020 at Tucson Medical Center. Bucky is preceded in death by his mother, Marilyn (Wise), and his father, Don Marshall. Bucky is survived by his girlfriend, Mary Andrews, his twin sons, Davis Marshall and Tyler Richard, his sister Marty and his sister Mary, and several nieces/nephews.

When Bucky was very young, his family moved from Grand Rapid, Michigan to the Rolling Hills neighborhood in Tucson, Arizona. Bucky graduated from Amphitheater High School in 1982 and graduated from The University of Arizona Business School in 1987. He spent much of his time in the pool as a proud member of the Amphi High School Panther Swim and Dive team. Bucky then went on to dive in college as a member of the University of Arizona dive team.

For most of his life, Bucky worked as a residential real estate appraiser. Bucky began his career working for Baker, Peterson, Baker. Bucky eventually owned his own appraisal business, Baker Appraisal Services.

Bucky’s greatest passion in life, outside of his boys, was cooking and grilling. His creativity shone through with every concoction he came up with. Bucky loved spending time in the outdoors; camping, skiing, and sailing were just a few of his favorite activities. While these interests filled much of his personal time, Bucky was always accompanied by great friends and family and was never without some good tunes. Bucky was blessed in his life to have so many who loved him and will miss him. The family would like to thank the emergency room staff and ICU staff at Tucson Medical Center for their wonderful care.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
