Kyle Baker

  Kyle Baker passed away on May 1, 2025, at the age of 36, due to complications from necrotizing pancreatitis.  He was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, and raised in Springfield, where he attended William N. DeBerry Elementary School and Robert M. Hughes Charter School.  Kyle spent one memorable school year in sunny California with his Auntie Wendi and her family — a time that created lifelong memories and friendships still cherished to this day.

  Kyle was a devoted son, grandson, brother, nephew, and cousin.  He had a kind and giving heart, always ready to help those in need.  His radiant smile could brighten any room, and his singing voice was truly remarkable — filled with soul, warmth, and beauty.  Kyle found joy in family gatherings and looked forward to any moment that brought his loved ones together.

~ Kyle’s spirit is free, we will miss him dearly, and he will live in our heart’s forever. ~

Williams, and his paternal grandfather, Roger Baker.  He is also reunited with his siblings, Destiny Field Weaver, Abdul Baker, Azeez Baker, and Ahmad Weaver; his uncle, Michael Williams; his aunt, Sharyn Patterson; and his great-grandparents, Adele and Lemy Simmons.
