It is with great sadness, we share the passing of Ian Glen Baker (68) born 1953 in Ottawa Ontario. Ian was a beloved husband of 34 beautiful years, father, granddad, brother, son, and friend. Ian is predeceased by his mother Jeana Pritchard and Francis Baker (Ottawa, ON). Survived by wife Sylvia Baker (nee MacDonald), daughters Noelle (Shane) Blum, and Hope (Timothy) Snider. Also survived by his granddaughter Sierra Blum and soon to be second grandchild (Blum). Dear brother of Claire Flowers, Doug (Pamela) Baker and Susan (Paul) Ozimor. Will be missed by hi sloving mother-in-law Anne MacDonald. Many nieces and nephews -Tracey Flowers, Doug Shaw, Cheryl Shaw, Scott Baker, Jenna Ball, Lindsay Ozimor, and James Lee MacDonald. Ian also leaves behind many wonderful cousins and friends he made over the years.
Ian attended Broadview Ave Public School, Nepean High School, Algonquin College for Cartography and Georgian College for what he would continue to do for many years; Records Management.
Ian is a Lifetime member of the National Street Rod Association, 4th degree knight of the Knight of Columbus #10370, and had a passion for photography and genealogy.
Ian was extremely fond of his music and played guitar for lengths at a time. Ian equally loved his classic car; a one-of-a-kind 1931 Model A Coupe and could be seen frequenting local car shows and sharing his vast knowledge of the classic car world. Ian enjoyed his time at the Baker cottage and will always miss those adventures.
Ian made the most of his last few years by spending as much time as possible with family. Ian was always so selfless and kind while sneaking in his dry sense of humor. Ian always provided for his family and was his soft-spoken self to the very end.
