Jacob Wesley “Jake” Baker, passed away on March 4, 2018. He was born January 18, 1982. Our son, brother and friend, was funny, kind, brave and generous. He was raised in Elmhurst and settled in Denver. Jake’s special gifts were a disarming sense of humor and a big heart. He rallied us with his hands on his hips, a joke and a belly laugh. He cared deeply for his friends and family. Jake attended Western Colorado University and was proud of his work as a geologist. Jake had a passion for adventure. He touched ground on six continents, including his favorite place, Madagascar. He made friends across the street and across the globe. Jake is survived and will be missed by Wesley and Suzanne Goldstein Baker, Lucas and Sally Ecklund-Baker, his niece and nephew, beloved aunts, uncles, cousins and many dear friends. Arrangements were provided by the family.
