Kenneth loved his wife, sons, grandkids and greatgrandkids dearly and fiercely. Two of his great joys, besides his family were traveling in the motorhome throughout the US searching for nutcrackers for his collection and taking family and friends to the home games of the Dallas Cowboys. He never met a stranger and enjoyed sharing stories and memories. He was always a man of his word and when he told you something he stuck with it. Kenneth lived in Roswell since 1967 coming from Portales. He started trucking at age 14 and then got into custom farming. Soon after Baker Farms was established as a family owned farm business. He was an avid supporter of FFA and 4H.

In lieu of flowers the family request that donations be made in Kenneths name to the local Cancer Society or Midway Assembly of God Church, PO Box 8067, Roswell, NM 88202.
