BAKER, Terrance
On November 25, 2008, following a courageous fight against leukemia, Terrance Baker passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family and friends. Terrance was a true inspiration to those who knew him and the many who were touched by his story. He successfully fought cancer at the age of four and faced this latest battle with a strength and dignity far surpassing his tender age of 10 years old. Terrance's story brought forth a huge outpouring of love and support - a true testament to the wonderful person he was. Terrance loved the outdoors - hunting, fishing, and camping were among his joys. Terrance treasured time with his parents and brothers and was blessed to be part of such a warm and loving family. He was a talented artist and gifted storyteller with a fantastic imagination. His pleasant personality made him popular among classmates and friends. Born in Fort St. John, B.C., he maintained strong ties to his family in Nova Scotia and loved his trips "back home". With Terrance's passing we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated, though we will miss him every day. His joy for life, bright smile, and happy nature will live in our hearts forever. Terrance is survived by his loving parents, Robert and Andrea Baker, Fort St. John, B.C. and adoring brothers, Dylan and Jesse James Baker, Fort St. John, B.C.; grandparents, William and Dorothy Baker, Nova Scotia and David and Charlotte Stewart, Nova Scotia. Terrance was blessed with too many aunts, uncles and cousins to list. He knows who you are and that is all that matters. A celebration of Terrance's life will be held on December 13, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. in Oakhill Fire Hall. There will be a small lunchen to follow. Memorial donations may be made to the IWK Health Centre Foundation.
