Ken was previously married to Theresa Ann Wilson and they later divorced in 1995. He was an entrepreneur and a Grand Junction resident for the last thirty years.
Ken was a remarkable human, both in his capacity to love and his insatiable appetite for learning. From the moment he could read, he was a collector of words, knowledge and big ideas. A lover of good conversation, he could talk until the sun came up and never tire. We will miss his incredible passion for life and his tender heart, which endeared him to each of us.
Ken leaves behind two sons, Samuel Jay Baker of Everett, WA, Timothy Charles Baker of Templeton, CA, a daughter, Elizabeth Ann Baker of Longmont, CO, his mother, E. Wylene Baker of Grand Junction, CO, two sisters, Patricia Susan Rayl of Grand Junction, CO, Kathryn Kay Schorr of Midland, TX and two grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his father.
