Charles "Chuck" F. Baker's Obituary
BAKER, Charles “Chuck” F., age 71, of Waynesville, passed away Monday, January 27, 2025, at Hospice of Butler and Warren Counties.
Chuck honorably serviced in the United States Air Force. He worked as an electrical engineer for nearly 20 years at Mitsubishi Electronics in Centerville. He was a member of the Waynesville First Baptist Church. For many years, Chuck and his family filled an entire pew at church every Sunday and then enjoyed the tradition of a hearty family breakfast back at home following the church service.
He had a passion for horses. Chuck owned, bred, raised, and cared for several beloved horses. Spending time trail riding was one of his favorite pastimes, which he always looked forward to. Due to his love of horses, he was a dedicated member of the Ohio Horse Council. In addition to horses, he also had a deep appreciation for guitars. He owned several varieties over the years and greatly enjoyed playing and writing music.
With a determined and loving spirit, Chuck was politically-minded, passionate about his beliefs and convictions, and had a strong belief in God. He was family-oriented and greatly enjoyed spending time with his family. His other hobbies included riding motorcycles and camping with his boys. Among many things, Chuck will be remembered most for the love and pride he had in his marriage of 52 years to Diane, his boys, and his six grandchildren.
Chuck was preceded in death by his son, Jason Baker; his parents, Matthew and Charlene Baker; and one brother, Gary Baker. He is survived by his loving wife, Diane Baker; two sons, Matthew (Brooke) Baker and Chad Baker; six grandchildren, Josie, Jessie, Madison, Reagan, Shayne, and Lane; and one brother, Larry (Colleen) Baker.
