In Loving Memory of Our Co-Founder, Mr. Terry W. Baker
October 12, 1947 – October 13, 2026
It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that the Baker Funeral Home & Crematory family announces the passing of our beloved co-founder, Mr. Terry W. Baker, who passed away on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at the age of 79.
In 2001, Mr. Terry Baker, alongside his son Joe, established Baker Funeral Home with a vision of serving the families of our community with compassion, dignity, and respect. What began as a small funeral home in downtown Moultrie grew into a place where countless families found comfort, kindness, and a helping hand during some of life’s most difficult moments.
Mr. Terry was much more than a businessman. He was a man with a generous heart, a compassionate spirit, and a genuine love for people. He believed in helping others, regardless of their circumstances, and never hesitated to lend a helping hand to someone in need. For him, serving families was never simply about business; it was about caring for people and treating everyone with the kindness and respect they deserved.
His compassion and generosity touched countless lives throughout Colquitt County and the surrounding communities. He understood that sometimes the smallest acts of kindness could make the greatest difference.
Although Mr. Terry has left this earthly life, the foundation he built and the values he instilled in us will continue to guide Baker Funeral Home for generations to come. His legacy lives on through his family, the funeral home he founded, and the many lives he touched along the way.
As we mourn his passing, we also celebrate a life well lived, a heart that gave so freely, and a man who truly cared about his fellow neighbor.
Mr. Terry, thank you for your vision, your generosity, your compassion, and the example you set for all of us. Your legacy will never be forgotten.
The Baker Funeral Home & Crematory Family
