Todd Brant Baker, 59, of Willow Springs, Missouri, went to be with Jesus on October 9, 2025, just two days before his 60th birthday. Todd was born on October 11, 1965, in West Plains, Missouri, to Jesse and Mary Ann (Rackley) Baker.
On September 27, 1986, Todd married the love of his life, Brenda Sue (Fine) Baker. Together, they built a beautiful life centered on faith, family, and hard work. Todd was a devoted husband, a loving father to Kaitlyn Knight and Jonathan Baker, and a proud example of integrity and perseverance to everyone who knew him.
Todd spent 39 years with UPS. Throughout the years, he built countless relationships with his coworkers and customers on his route. He had a deep love for the outdoors, whether he was fishing, hunting, or working on old cars and trucks, but his greatest joy was sharing those moments with his family. He was loyal, humble, and mild-tempered, with a quiet strength that inspired those around him. Todd lived his faith daily, with Christ at the center of everything he did. His tenacious spirit, gentle heart, and steadfast devotion to his family and faith leave a lasting legacy of love and character.
Todd is preceded in death by his grandparents, Clifton and Iris Rackley, and Byron “Red” and Mable Brittell.
Todd will be deeply missed by his wife, Brenda; his children, Kaitlyn and husband, Ben Knight, and Jonathan and wife, Taylor Baker; his beloved grandchildren, Jettson Baker, Natalie Knight, and Truman Knight; his brother Chad Baker; and parents, Jesse and Mary Ann Baker; and all who were blessed to know him.
