Obituary and funeral services: Brian William Baker, 37, of Loganville

Brian William Baker, 37, of Loganville, GA passed away on July 26, 2018. A celebration of his life will be held on Saturday, August 4, 2018 at 11:00am at Midtown Church, 426 Deering Rd., Atlanta, GA 30309. He is survived by his parents, Billy and Tricia Baker, sister Jennifer Baker Hannah, nephew Brody Hannah, grandfather Bill Berry, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Brian was a quarterback and baseball player at LHS, and was recruited by Austin Peay State University, where he was a team captain and quarterback all four years and holds over a dozen offensive football records. After graduation, he played Arena football in many parts of the country. He loved spending time in nature and communing with his Creator, helping people, cooking, fishing, camping, coaching his nephew in little league, and spending time with his family and friends. His personality was even bigger than him, and his smile was infectious. Brian lived simply and loved deeply, and never missed an opportunity to laugh.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to West Walton Football and Cheerleading Booster Scholarship Fund to give every child an opportunity to enjoy the game he loved. The Brian Baker Scholarship Fund is being set up to celebrate his memory. Please send donations payable to: WWCCFB, P.O. Box 72, Jersey, GA 30018
