Donald A. Baker

Donald A Baker, 77, a longtime resident of Bucyrus passed away from a brief illness on January 22, 2025 at Akron City Hospital. The Baker family would like to thank Summa Hospice for their great care of Donald. 

Donald was born in Bucyrus on December 19, 1947 to the late Robert and Lucille (Hayes) Baker and graduated from Bucyrus High School in 1967. Donald was a hard worker: he did farm work for neighbor Ray Volkmer as a youngster, he worked for S&R Refuse for 10 years and worked at Timken. Donald volunteered to work the gun range during the fair and also liked to talk on his CB and listen to his scanner. He enjoyed watching old western movies and listening to classic country western music. Donald’s pride and joy was his dachshund, Babe. When he was no longer able to keep up with his house, Donald moved to Cuyahoga Falls to be close to his brother and family. 

Donald is survived by his brother, John Baker; nephew, Bill (Jenn) Baker and family; niece, Pat Nicholson; and his uncle, Jim (Ann) Baker. In addition to his parents, Donald was preceded in death by his sister-in-law, Barb Baker and his dog, Babe. 

Donald’s services will be held on Tuesday, January 28 at Wise Funeral Service. Family will receive friends from 12:30 to 1:25 pm and the funeral will begin at 1:30 pm with Certified Celebrant, Lisa Snyder, officiating. Burial will follow in Oakwood Cemetery. 

Memorial donations can be made payable to Calvary Baptist Church and given at the funeral home. Memories and photos can be shared on the guestbook of Donald’s tribute page at www.wisefuneral.com.
