Mr. Baker is preceded in death by his parents Floyd and Myrtle Baker. He is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Willera Baker; two sisters, Martha Walker and Sarah Cummings; sons Steven Baker (Delicia), Stewart Baker (Melissa), Scott Baker (Laura); grandchildren, Britt Baker (Carey), Chris Baker (Susan), Matt Baker (Kathryn), Courtney Mathis (Colton), Whitney Raybon (Dalton); great-grandchildren, John Cade Mathis, Peyton Mathis, Isla Baker, Tate Baker, Landon Baker, Hollie Raybon and several loving nieces and nephews.
Jerome will be fondly remembered by family and friends as a loving brother, husband, father, grandfather and friend. Jerome loved spending time with his family, attending as many of the grandchildren’s sporting events as he could and going to the beach. Everyone knew an afternoon with Jerome would include a story from the “Good Ole Days” and probably detailed directions on how to get to that exact location from the story. He will truly be missed by all.
