He was born on October 30, 1956, in Eagleville, MO the son of Gerald “Pude” and Edith Elaine (Dyer) Baker.
On September 14, 1973 Dan was united in marriage to Darlene Boger.
He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Brandon; and brother, Rickie L. Baker.
Dan was a hard worker, he drove a truck for 35 years, making a living for his family and enjoyed what he did. He loved his family and having them around. Anyone who knew Dan would say he was the first to crack a joke and was always making someone laugh and smile. He always made the best of every situation regardless of what it was, he was a devoted husband, dad, and granddad. Dan was a busy man who couldn’t sit still, whether it be working in his yard, on his trucks, his corvette, or his trike, it was very seldom that you would catch Dan sitting down idle. If it was too cold to be outside you could often walk in the house and find a fresh batch of no bake cookies that he had just made.
Dan is survived by his wife of 45 years, Darlene of the home; sons, Tim (Wendy) Baker, Pattonsburg, MO and Josh Baker and (Ryan), Bethany, MO; grandchildren, Maggie, Megan, Jayson, Jordan, Ethan, Ryker, Lexi, Kaitlyn, Jody, Brandon, and Sawyer; and 1 sister, Sandra (Lyle) Grabill, Excelsior Springs, MO.
