Daniel L. Baker

Daniel Lee Baker, 70, of New Philadelphia, Ohio, passed away at his home on Thursday, February 6, 2025, following a brief illness. Born November 27, 1954 in Dennison, Ohio, he was a son of the late Harley Maloy Baker and Carrie Bell (Freeland) Baker Garbrandt.

On June 8, 1991, Dan married the former Lurana Ann Addleman who survives him at their home. He is also survived by their children, Damon (companion, Nykki) Baker, Michelle Baker, and Melissa (companion, Hamza) Baker; grandchildren, Destiny, Shayla, Caitlyn, Christopher, Ricky, Wyatt, and Daniel; and great-grandchildren, Joseph, Oliver, and Malcolm. Dan’s surviving family is completed by his siblings, Wayne Baker, Jeffery (Margaret) Baker, and Kay Owsley, and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Betty Roth, sister-in-law, Sylvia Baker, and brother-in-law, Nathan Owsley.

Dan proudly served his country in the U. S. Army before returning home to a career in professional cleaning. He attended New Life Church of God in Dover, Ohio, and he was a member of Tusco Rifle Club who enjoyed hunting and shooting. Most of all, he treasured the time that he spent with his family, especially his grandchildren.

In keeping with Dan’s wishes, cremation is planned, and his family will celebrate his life privately on a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations honoring Dan’s memory may be made to the donor’s favorite charity.
