James, William and I were so sorry to hear about Eric today. We enjoyed our time with you all at Jefferson while our boys wrestled together. Eric was always so helpful with suggestions and always had the boys and what was best for them at heart. If you ever need anything, please let us know. We know Eric is looking down and will always be cheering you on.

I just don’t know what to say. I am sorry beyond words to the entire Baker family. There can’t be any thing to ease the pain but know my wife and I certainly are offering our deepest condolences.If ever you would care to talk about anything feel free to contact me. We live in Atkins now and don’t get the Gazette so I didn’t find out about this until today.
I am sorry beyond words.

Jodie-my heart breaks for you and your family. I am so sorry. All I can do is pray God grants you peace and comfort as you have to move forward. I’d attend Eric’s funeral, but I just got out of hospital. Please do a lot of self-care my friend. I have always loved you big smile-God will help you find it again!

This one goes deep. The JHS community lost a great one. A 2x state medalist and a parent that stayed home and coached his son to 3 medals. His quiet demeanor and yet tough as nails inner tenacity will always be remembered. RIP Bake you did good! Condolences to Jodie, Brenden, Kylie, and Ashton.
