Robert Wayne "Bob" Baker
November 23, 1949 - May 25, 2020
Robert Wayne “Bob” Baker, age 70, passed away on Monday, May 25, 2020 at his home in rural Atlanta, Missouri.
The son of Joe Albert and Betty Yovonne (Hatchett) Baker, Bob was born on November 23, 1949 in Sentinel, Oklahoma, but spent almost his entire life in rural Atlanta. Bob was united in marriage on March 18, 1972 to Cathy (Carter) Baker, who survives.
Also surviving are his daughter and son-in-law, two sons and daughters-in law, all of Atlanta; nine grandchildren, his sister-in-law, and her children; his parents-in-law, and brothers-in-law, and their children.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, John Sidney Baker.
Bob attended grade school at Oak Grove in rural Atlanta and graduated from Atlanta High School in 1967; he later received a Business Degree at what is now Truman State University. In their first year of marriage, Bob and Cathy began their farming operation by purchasing their homestead in 1972.
Bob loved to work and farmed up until the end of his life on earth. He co-operated his cattle and row crop operation with his wife and oldest son. Bob has been recognized by University Extension, Macon County Farm Bureau, and the local Soil & Water District for his efforts in volunteering with 4-H, FFA, the county fair, his farm’s conservation practices, and his commitment to the future of the local agriculture industry. Bob was a longtime member of the Macon County Cattlemen’s Association and was instrumental in the creation of its annual scholarship program and banquet.
Bob was always a front-row fan of the Atlanta Hornets. Despite being color blind, he rarely wore anything except Blue and White. Bob coached several Atlanta little league teams and encouraged coaches and young people to work hard to achieve excellence. All of Bob’s kids and grandkids are Atlanta Hornets, too.
Bob served on the Atlanta School Board for 12 years. During that time, he was instrumental in the creation of the Atlanta FFA, the construction of the current baseball field, track, and a new library addition at the school. He also served as a board member for the Atlanta Fire Department. Bob was always willing to help his community and neighbors.
Most importantly, Bob was a baptized believer in Jesus Christ. He taught his children love of community, to do the right thing when no one was looking and to be proud of their work.
Visitation services for Bob Baker will be a tractor-led drive on Thursday, May 28 at 6:00 P.M, starting at the Northeast Intersection of Highways 63 and M and heading towards the family farm at 31350 Mariner Street.
